The game is difficult and there is a lot of reading. You can also royally screw yourself by not taking the right actions at the right time. However, it is totally beatable if you stick with it and learn the nuances of the various mechanics. The main complaint is that the game world map is much larger than the playable area of the game. The developers have addressed this and given a rationale for it. I am hoping that the game world will expand if the developers have enough success with the game to justify expansions/DLC. If you like games like Battle Brothers and text-based RPGs, this game should tickle both itches. It is definitely worth a buy.
