BGG tends to favor Euro games, but reading the comments at least gives you a general sense of the talking points.

As a short review, I think the game is fine. There are tense, tactical moments, and a good amount of cooperation to ensure a victory. There are even mechanics for achieving medals and honors that carry over to future games. You don't need to know anything about D&D to play this game, as it's only themed around the setting. The actual play experience is completely different. As a con, there are a lot of pieces. Each 'flank' of the battle has 20-40 pieces to represent the armies. And each battle, while being different in goal and set-up, feel very similar. The gist of each playthrough is, the heroes are trying to do something, while a war wages. And if the different flanks are lost before the heroes can achieve their goal, then you fail.
I'd give it a solid 6/10, but I would buy it for $20 as well. My main deterrent would be the set up time, with all the little plastic footman/missile/cavalry line pieces.

5th edition was simplified and streamlined from the older versions. While I miss some of the features of the older versions, I think the change is ultimately positive if it helps newer players enjoy. And tbh, what was "lost", I don't miss as much. 5th edition is much faster to play and less to argue about rules every 5 mins lol.
It's probably why your son was able to get into it. It's a lot of fun! PLAY WITH HIM! I think you'd have a blast.
Don't ask us if it's a good game. Ask him! Roll up a character and see where it leads you.
