I've only played solo, and only a couple times, but It's so far been good. The Lord Ruler is brutally difficult, and I've lost about as much as I've won. It can sometimes also be a bit hard to keep track of everything (money, combat, burns), but I found using a couple d10s to track them as they increased helped immensely.
Component quality is good, the art is good, the rules are mostly clear, but there can be a lot of them to internalize all at once before playing solo.
