If you suffer heavy casualties early on, you may not be able to get reinforcements for subsequent battles, forcing you to restore to an earlier point.Īnother annoying downside is that the game's interface is quite clunky and difficult to use. After the first four or five missions, you'll find yourself severely outnumbered in just about every battle. magical weapons) that can turn the tide of battle if used at the right moment.The game's only drawback in my opinion- and a very serious one- is the fact that it gets very difficult very fast.
