LoH with its deeply flawed design does not shy when trying to showoff its strongest aspect, the graphics. It is very clean, crisp, colorful, minimal and thus successfully created a mesmerizing fantasyland without overwhelming players with the grandiosity. This aspect shined very well in term of character designs. Each appears with a simple costume, minimal effects within a few accessories describing about their background and countries. This stylistic choice tied very well with the universe of LoH (if it has one). Depsite not having a jaw-dropping design, the characters are able to convey their personalities (even if it is cliched). Outside of that, your main character (Lord) looks like a well blended between an edgelord and a chad (consider this as a positive one).
Yet, despite having good graphics and strong concept arts, LoH suffered alot with its uninteresting gameplay, poor choices in term of gacha aspect, potential yet lackluster story and recycle character designs.
At this point, you should be too familiar with turn-based system to the point of feeling discontented. And LoH did nothing to improve this exhausted mechanic. You create a team, go on an adventure, and auto through everything. Buff/debuff plays a neglectable role. Beautiful cut-in effects soon turns into a burden upon watching them repeatedly. And the dull audio only enhances this boredom by making every attack feels impactless.
And you ask what could this game even go wrong next? And the answer is everything else. LoH does not have character gacha, it has weapon gacha and we all know too well what are the consequences. Paid-only heroes, some can only be obtained by using real money, gear dependency and RNG for everything relating to gears. You get a good gear but it needs to have % stats, random stat upon upgrading, chance - based upgrade system. And the game does not even disclose the success rate. To salt this open wound, LoH decided to make the strong gears exlusively for gacha. And finally, to make itself even more miserable, every character is just another recyle of their respective styles with different colors and minimal effects.
Progression in LoH is slow and tedious. Each part, skill uprade, level up, enhance...require a substantial amount of gold and they are dictated by RNG, gated by stamina.
Some may argue that they play the game for the story itself. All is well and I gave a compliment for what LoH achieved. Every gameplay aspect is disclosed very well within the lore of the game. Alliance is indeed a guild system but the way they present you is clever by saying you need to have a conference with other lords. Or the auto system is delivered as "Your heroes can make their own decisions". These are small details but is nonetheless very nice. And the story is interesting enough with its on-going wars between nations. Betrayal and alliance. But here lies another problem. LoH offers too little detail about its world building. Plenty continents could be expanded into a full flesh country with culture, people, races. Yet, what we have are wars and wars alone. Soon the antagonists you fight with to protect your sovereignty and expand your kingdom becomes one dimensional
The story finally loses its steam and potentials.
There are other aspects that I did not cover including pvp, raid. As they are identical to other games. LoH is ultimately a hollow beauty without much to offer the players. Despite its beautiful graphics, there are plenty rooms to improve. But if you actually enjoy the game, then all is well and hope is meaningless for even with many flaws, you could enjoy it.

3.2After trying for some days, I can share honest opinion about this game. 1. This game is in english but they sometimes play korean chat to mess with us. It's like a secret chat to negate spoiler on story mode. 2. Graphics is good , game is turn based with speed as dominant attribute to get turn. Item has set bonus like MMO. Pretty standard with upgrade and so on. 3. No character gacha but u buy straight. It's super expensive. Some need other currency like real money or other in game currency. 4. At first it feel nice. but at some progress it feel heavy. Your unit will be severely underperformed and need to upgrade to prepare for next level. Level up is slow. Exp potion is given a lot but it's still slow. Very slow. Awakening material also slow even for ur 3* unit at the beginning. The progress on ur team building is slow. 5. Awakening a character doesnt give much benefit. Your character will reset to lv 1, again level up is slow. Very slow... Your skill wont get much upgrade from awakening. You need skill upgrade material from a separate grind. 6. I abandoned this game because it's slow. Sorry guys..[害羞][害羞]
