Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“I really did want to like this, but it really lacks any purpose. It feels more like a very cheap phone game than anything worth 12 dollars. There is no strategy, and i feel baffeled by the many reviews mentioning that. All you do is set…”
“Can this be called "strategy Game"? Where is the strategy? the only mechanics you can make use of are "peace" and "war". Is that diplomacy?! Well, let's give the bellic factor a go... Oh wait, where are the units? I can't see them... why…”
