The graphics of the game, originally released in 1990, are widely regarded as dated and clunky, with many reviewers acknowledging their simplicity and basic quality. While some players appreciate the retro aesthetic and find the gameplay enjoyable despite the graphics, others believe that modern updates could significantly enhance the game's appeal. Overall, the consensus is that while the graphics may not meet contemporary standards, they do not detract from the overall enjoyment of the game.
“Even the sound and graphics hold up in a genuine-quality-retro way.”
“Though its simple graphics, it's a great game.”
“The game is really well done and I still play it often to this day although at this point the graphics are dated (made in 1990) but once you get used to it, it's a lot of fun.”
“Despite the now very clunky graphics, still a solid game.”
“Be warned though this game was made in 1990 and the graphics and interface will show.”

The gameplay is solid and features great mechanics, although they can be challenging to learn initially. While the graphics may not match those of other grand strategy games like Hearts of Iron IV, this does not detract from the overall gameplay experience. The trailer also fails to effectively showcase the gameplay elements.
“The mechanics are great, though not easy to learn right away.”
“Admittedly, I cut it some slack because I grew up with it, but, honestly, it doesn't affect the gameplay, which is solid.”

The victory music in the game has received high praise, with many users stating that it is so enjoyable that it justifies the game's price on its own.
“The victory music alone is worth the asking price.”
