So what makes this game so fun?

[Aezeal]

All the things mentioned above do make this game fun, I agree with most if not all of them

But let me be honest, if you have NEVER liked turn based strategy games you'll most likely won't like this one either. It's a nice sort of turn based strategy game, but it's not a RPG (and no matter what has been said it's just not even close) and it's not as fast as a FPS.

Try the demo and you should notice it at once. ( I was hooked at once)
IMHO this game is only for the DIE HARD TBS gamers, the learning curve is very steep and so pplz who don't even like the more accessible TBS games will probably just be put off by this game more.
