What players say

78% of 11,974 reviews are positive · 73% of 41 in the last 30 days

Players praise the distinct faction playstyles and the range of economic, political, covert, and military victory paths. The most common complaints concern weak AI and repetitive, story-light Conquest scenarios; others report crashes, save corruption, and severe frame-rate drops after zooming between map layers.
