What players say

I feel like they missed the mark on this. The game is fantastic in a way, but each match is too short. More depth, have the matches be more like 80+ turns each, and it would be exceptional. As it is...the matches don't have enough moves, which limits the possible options and strategies. I like the general bones of the game, but it's just the bones of what it could have and should have been. You need to hustle bam...

I bought this game on good discount, so I will get money/ time worth. But to warn other players - single player campaign is 10 levels that are a bit luck based on what will enemy do, as after map 4 they are always in favorite positions. Campaign will take 6-7 hours to finish. Multiplayer unfortunately is pretty barren as game is few years old and needs another login/ registration outside of the Steam. Passable game...
