Clash of Lords 2 is a 10-year-old hero-based strategy game that differentiates itself through real-time skill activation and a unique hero-troop mercenary system. While it maintains an exceptionally loyal veteran base, it is currently struggling with a 'Mixed' sentiment due to aggressive monetization and significant technical debt. The game is positioned as a high-depth tactical alternative to automated strategy titles but faces a declining trend as competitors offer more polished experiences.

Bottom line
Clash of Lords 2 is a resilient legacy title with a unique tactical edge, but it is currently being 'milked' at the expense of technical health. If I were the PM, I would prioritize a technical 'Spring Cleaning' to fix the loading and UI bugs before the declining sentiment leads to a mass exodus of the 10-year veteran base.
