An enjoyable flash-back to the past, reminiscent of classic strategy games from the 80s.
Offers a variety of scenarios and historical battles, providing multiple ways to achieve victory.
Easy to learn and well-researched, making it a great introduction to the real-time strategy genre.

Graphics are crude and the game lacks mouse support, relying solely on clunky keyboard controls.
The save function is virtually unusable without specific hardware, making it difficult to save progress.
The game can be confusing due to its non-intuitive controls and the need to refer to an external manual for victory conditions.
