The big difference with other standard RTS games is that here you don't build bases but only have a couple of units at your disposal. This results in the fact that you have to think carefully with every move you make as one wrong step can lead to defeat. This way of playing immediately reminds of the old Warhammer games for the PC and Playstation 1 from 1995 and 1998, Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat and Warhammer: Dark Omen.

To accomplish this you of course first need troops that are insane enough to want to die for you and as you progress you'll need to get those joining your army. The first regiments at your disposal seem to be more cannon fodder than experienced soldiers, but with the necessary upgrades you can level them so they do mean something on the battlefield, or you can replace them by stronger units later on in the game. There's plenty of variation in units, going from heavy cavalry to giants, demons and siege weapons. All these regiments also gain experience and the more they have the more they'll be of value. It can for instance be that a new regiment consists out of 20 soldiers but at the highest level up to 36. It's therefore advisable to not waste the more experienced units of your army.

The reason brings up these titles is the way of playing. At the beginning of a battle you get the possibility to place your heroes and armies in a set terrain. From the moment they're positioned to your liking, the fight starts. The battles consist out of escorting units to a certain point, defend or do a siege on a castle, or simply exterminate all enemy units on the map.
