What players say
82% of 7,469 reviews are positive · 84% of 46 in the last 30 days
Players praise the accessible basics and the challenge of adapting civilian and military plans. The most common complaint is that scenarios grow repetitive; some players also find insurgent attacks unpredictable and the mechanics poorly explained.
