The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Very meh. Nothing pulls you in to keep playing. Played 5 hours, put it down, nothing pulled me back in to pick it up again. Battles and allowed unit counts are really very small and limiting. All the perks and politics just weren't that…”
“It is overly complex and tedious to play. It is not playing it is working on a new job or project.”
