Epic. Simply epic. Skillful adaptation of mass combats, dramatic tasks, and plenty to do. The prep-work leading up to the final battle was very well executed.
I love this game.

Well thought out. The attention to detail and the execution of events is simply awesome.

Not sure what Delta's next phase is but I think Silver will be acting as her bodyguard for a while.
