Great potential, in an oversized package

The game has lots of fun stuff. It's like a board game, where you upgrade a character, battle monsters, claim towns, and do missions. It's good, but not fantastic. The problem lays in scale; the map is huge, the missions too far apart, and it takes a while to deal with other people's turns.
I only played the single player story quest. It was lots of fun, but once it finished I was too tired of the game to explore other modes. Also, I can't imagine sitting to play this with friends; we don't have the kind of time required.
This game is definitely worth a rent, and some will love to buy it. the game is fun, and has great mechanics that I would love to see in a refined sequel. It's just too wide in scale to appreciate everything, like jelly spread over too much bread.
