I played a many hours with my friends during both beta test periods, and most of the bugs we saw haven't been fixed since then.

My largest complaint is about prioritisation between goalkeepers and strikers.

Keepers can dive in the air, and even if you are dribbling with the ball on the ground, the ball will teleport into their hands and they will have possession.

I realllyyyy want this game to be great, but until they fix issues like the one described above, it is too frustrating to recommend.

Open to change my review if these issues are fixed.

Bought this game a while ago, thoroughly enjoyed it. It was missing content for a while, but the Dev (Andrew) kept posting any additions to the game over discord - so I knew it was gonna get better.

After the "Excessively Late" Update, I can say this is worth the £11 I payed. Now the game has more stylistic neon visuals, faster loading times, larger and more open levels, better enemy AI and behaviour, well polished guns, sick ass vaporwave/synthwave music and more.

If there is anything you take away from this review, it's that this game has the best "Game Feel" I've experienced.

I can't wait for the next update hopefully in November.

This game is one of the best single player games I've played so far, with fast-paced and challenging combat, a wealth of content, interesting cryptic layers for the player to digest, and an astounding soundtrack.

Well done HyperLightDrifter devs, you guys made a master piece.

4 hours in, and I can tell it's worth it's price. Would reccomend for people who want to kill some time whilst having fun. Team Raven ftw!

Some of the levels are mildly interesting, but with no new mechanics introduced the game after the beginning, it can become stale and a breeze towards the end.

Unfortunately the intense Achievement spam is kind of annoying, and doesn't fit the games minimalist feel.
The UI is a tad weird, but if you use your noggin' you'll understand it.

Luckily it's free, yet in my opinion still remains a waste of time - just because the concept is not explored that deeply.
I suppose you can't ask alot for a free game though.

This concept have been explored more deeply on mobile platforms however.

STATEMENT:
"Total War Battles: KINGDOM is very enjoyable, but has too many pay-to-win apsects"

RATING :
6 / 10

INTRODUCTION:
Very enjoyable and I just played the first 7.8 hours without a brake. However, there are quiet a few cons to it as well.

PROS :
- Easy to learn (tutorials are great)
- Free
- Has multiplayer and a friend system
- Has many types of buildings; the developers have thought about balancing these buildings prices and their purposes
- Mining is especially fun, when finding out what resource you will discover

CONS:
- Gold is extremely overpowerful as a resource, and is able to be bought
- Gold can be exhanged for every other material
- Inabilities can sometimes make the game boring

RECCOMENDATION TO CUSTOMER:
I reccomend this game as it is very enjoyable and can keep you hooked hours on end. But, be wary of this pay-to-play system (although it's exaggerated by the reviewers), and think about if your wasting Gold.

FEEDBACK TO THE DEVELOPERS & PRODUCERS:
Look, you may be looking at all of those negative reviews and feel like you get no feedback; and say "Whats the point."
But, if you make some changes (examples listed below), people may feel more optimistic about this game.
- Make Gold not able to be exhanged for other materials
- Lower the hours it takes to build things, to minutes
- Keep the use of Gold as a 'catalyst' for building
- Keep the use of Gold for changing 'Profile' and 'Coat of Arms' aesthetics
- Take away the use of Gold to get high level troops, make it possible with upgrading barracks and such
- Add the use of Gold to be able to customise what your troops look like (without affecting their battle attributes e.g: Damage, Defence etc)
- If you want to not have any more bad reviews about pay-to-win; I say put a price on the game, and refund anyone that payed money into it

FEEDBACK SUMMARY:
Thanks for reading, and just making a few of these needed changes would make the player base alot less toxic.

The game? Amazing!!! If it were rated out of 10, it would get 20! The Developers update pretty much every week on thursday, they listen to the community's suggestions and thoughts and keep the community updated with upcoming features - one I'm really fanboying about is Planets!!! Can't wait!

The Game is currently well polished due to frequent patches; the game can use DX11! The gameplay is good, there are tons of features. I think it's one of the best Space games I've seen.

I would highly recommend the buying of this game if you enjoy it's genre.
