Awesome, but needs something
A Really Grossed out guy
May I suggest a custom battle area of the game? Set up different units on both (or more) sides in a map, and then play as a faction of choice.
Incredibly frustrating
Devilchaser
Simple stuff like not being able to flank unless you have a giant free area, veteran units still getting wiped by non vet units, basic stuff that you should be able to use to win fights is poorly or not implemented. Especially the flanking is horrible. The whole concept of the Roman cohort was to allow units to be flexible and take advantage of opportunity but in this game you need a square mile of empty space to maneuver. Musket smoke got it right this game is just frustrating.
Excellent

Excellent turn-based tactical game: user-friendly controls, simple game play, & lots of fun.
Fun but very frustrating

Try the free lite version first, just to see what I mean and make your own opinion. When the battles are more balanced, it can be pretty fun to outwit the enemy. But the battles that are not balanced? I'll just say make sure your phone has a good case and have plenty of cigarettes laying around. Super frustrating! Flanking is almost impossible, the enemy gets reinforcements just when most of your units are depleted enough, and most importantly, the terrain bonuses are really hard to master. However, the most frustrating part is the terrible controls. I don't know how many times I mistakenly moved a unit, or ended my turn early when trying to "ok" an attack (it's the same button!!!). So to make a long story short, get the free lite version and see how you like that first!
Lots of fun

Simple, but challenging enough to be entertaining. Educating on both historical and military facets.
Amazing

Very fun! Really has a feel of Roman war. The way units work really makes it feel like how the army's would have felt.
