i'm really disappointed in how quickly this game went from awesome to astonishingly short with mediocre gameplay development and an unsatisfying ending.
where were the dungeons? towns? sidequests that weren't minigames? why is the overworld so empty? why was the game so short? an rts/rpg should have a lot more content than this. it's forgiveable since i still like the setting and writing etc but the humor went away somewhat towards the middle/end of the game. there was so much unresolved shit / tell not show exposition of major plot events it really detracted from the experience.
i'm a little bewildered too, because the game world obviously took a very, very long time to build and i wonder why they didn't take better advantage of it. i think i would have preferred this game spend another 9 months in development and become a much richer experience.
battles were disappointing too though i really like the art design. i think i would have preferred they stuck with scripted battles though instead of making it a hybrid game since there's so few units and the controls are so awkward it essentially becomes a battle of grouping the most dudes around you and rushing, no matter what side you're on. ironheade is the worst about this, because it's essentially a race to get the most fire barons, then upgrade to metal beasts and a rock crusher.

That’s right, you have the young gaming with the old(er), white people gaming with black people, men and women, Asian countries gaming with the EU, North Americans gaming with South Americans. Much like world sporting events like the Wolrd Cup, or the Olympics will bring together different nations in friendly competition, (note the recent Asian Cup; Iraq vs. Saudi Arabia, no violence there) we come together. The differences being, we are not divided by our nationalities and we do it 24-7, and on a personal level.
We are a community without borders and without colours, the spirit and diversity of the gaming community is one that should be looked up to, a spirit and diversity other groups should strive toward.
