What players say

74% of 5,359 reviews are positive · 57% of 40 in the last 30 days

Players praise the combination of strategic management, tactical battles, and direct first-person control, especially its detailed production systems. Common complaints target weak AI, a confusing and tedious global campaign interface, and an unfinished, unpolished state. Many also object to paid DLC being sold while the game remains in Early Access.
