Pennon and Battle short review:

The game is reminiscent of Heroes III in a good way. As soon as you start playing, you know 90% what to do. The game map looks a bit like a mobile/browser game, but that would be the least of my concerns. Once you get into the battle, you’ll be in your shoes.

The battles are clear, the units/creatures have interesting special abilities and the hero also participates in the fight, as in Heroes 4. The problem with the game, even according to the reviews, are the 2 versions it offers. Standard and Enjoy mode, which are not compatible with each other as far as online PvP gaming is concerned.

Furthermore, even after purchase, the game offers in-game purchases and is always online, so if the serves are overloaded, the AI turns will take forever.

Nothing like that happened during my playing, nor did I need to invest any additional money. The game has potential, but for many players the in-game purchases and always online will kill it.
