Nice game but very limited & repetitive
It's not really a RTS (in my definition of the genre) since the game consists on repeating the same two gameplay loops available : either capturing villages and creating many troops to attack enemies, or defend your positions against waves of enemies (which feel endless since these sequences are not that fun to play). And you don't have to care that much about resources since everything is automated. So gameplay is very simple and quickly gets boring. The game isn't really set for big battles and establishing real strategy. First because you can't zoom out to get a bigger picture on the battle, then because your units don't listen at your orders anymore when they're fighting. And that last point is really annoying and can ruin an entire battle. Plus we can only manage 10 units at maximum, which is quite a ridiculous number. The most interesting aspect is the narrative, it helps you keep playing but only to some point. I stopped the game at the end of the third campaign (Edward the Confessor) because it became really boring, and that last mission was badly balanced. Anyway I like how the game is visceral, how we can embody the bad guys in some situations. Cutscenes are great, they're artisticly well done and voice over is good. Maps are well designed and a lot of care and details has been put in them, which is cool. Soundtrack is good with some beautiful themes. I don't have enough history knowledge to know if some of the stories are accurate but I read some other players saying that it wasn't always the case. Plus units from different eras that are handled the exact same way felt a bit off, I wished each campaign and its units had more different and unique characteristics. I didn't try multiplayer. If there's a sequel, I hope they'll focus on adding more strategy mechanics during battles, allow to have more than 10 units on a map, put more emphasis on cavalry and stop waves of enemies missions, or limit them but make them more interesting and more plausible.
