Love this game, it feels a lot like Heroes of Might and Magic 5 if it was also partially an RTS, though like the title says, it would be nice to have online multiplayer that doesn't require using 3rd party apps in order to get it all working. In addition I wish that there was lore for the game beyond what we have. I could have sworn that there were biographies on the characters but unfortuantely I could find nothing. FInally I think it would seriously benefit from having a campaign to play through at some point in the future if that was ever an option. Beyond those three points however, great stuff.
I really enjoy this game, it's a faster paced HoMM game with some inspiration taken from places like Warhammer Fantasy and various other places. I only have a few nit-picks regarding it. One is that I think it needs proper multiplayer or at least LAN multiplayer so that both myself and my friends can play the game and use magic at the same time compared to doing it hotseat without using some 3rd party software. Another nit-pick is how the game lets you pan away from the map into the darkness beyond the main map. While easily fixed with hitting the map it is still rather annoying. Later on the game seems to chug a bit, though that could be my computer. In one of the games I noticed that around week 9-11 it was slowing down while trying to move around, though that could simply be my laptop entering low power mode. With those addressed I think this would be a five star game for me. Love it to bits.
