The campaign map is much bigger than in the first game and boats a deal more complexity in gameplay as well. The story was solid and drove the game well all the way to the end. There are some interesting choices to be made on how you upgrade your units as well, as you can't do everything! The diplomacy was a nice twist, not hugely complex, but yet more choices on how to customise your units, recruit unique ones, or gain other effects. There is a decent mix of units and cavalry charges are working nicely. There is much more detail on them than in Total War. The landscapes play a good role in the game, but more could have been made of these interesting maps. The battles are simply gorgeous, with easily the best graphics I've seen in this style of game. The effect on the battlefield is substanital.
Then there are the vast number of magical items you can find, craft or buy. I found the huge number of heroes and different paths to take their skills really quite enjoyable. It's an absolute gem, that strongly built on the first game in every way. All in all, this is a really impressive game and I'm sad that I let the negative reviews on metacritic stop me from buying it earlier.

This is easily one of the most under-rated games I've had the pleasure to play. Please note that this review is based on the dead legions version of the game. I have decided to give this a 10, predominantly for its innovative spirit, captivating environment and story-telling. The enemy cavalry beautifully performed flanking attacks chasing my archers away from behind of the bulk of my army. I would also like to praise the AI of the battle engine of the game.
However, the designer team worked pretty hard so far on the feedback received from the community. Overall the game is quite polished, but has some minor bugs.
Nevertheless, performance issues have been reported for not high-end specs users. The graphics are stunning, both on campaign and battle level. If you like epic style Lord of the Rings theme games, you will probably adore it. On campaign map it reminds me Disciples 2, which was a true gem. Adored the concept, and its implementation. On Innovative and fun strategy game with an interesting mixture of role-playing elements. Innovative and fun strategy game with an interesting mixture of role-playing elements.
