The main pros of the game

  • Affordable Price: Many players appreciate the low cost (around 15€), considering the amount of content and gameplay provided.
  • Quick Gameplay: The game successfully condenses the typical 4X experience into fast-paced sessions (around 60-90 minutes), making it accessible for players with limited time.

  • Single Player Issues: The single-player campaign is criticized for being linear and poorly designed, with missions that can be frustratingly unbalanced.
