It's a fun power fantasy, the sieges are cool as well as the added moves. Customization was nice as well. Ultimately it doesn't have a lot of depth and fighting the highest lvl orcs is just borderline intolerable. While the sequel has many improvements they softened the aesthetic to appeal to a wider audience and try and make the player care about the orcs in their army. This is why we have the elven girlboss and gondor nigger batman and homosexual orcs. The first game is a lot edgier and better because of it imo.
