  • Engaging and fun gameplay with a strong empire management theme and immersive atmosphere reflecting a declining empire.
  • Developer is highly active, responsive, and regularly releases patches and updates to improve the game.
  • Good foundational mechanics and complexity that appeal to grand strategy fans, with potential for growth and expansion.
  • Performance issues including stuttering, lag, and crashes significantly impact the experience, especially at higher speeds or longer play sessions.
  • UI and interface are overly complex, confusing, and lack sufficient quality-of-life features or tutorials, making management cumbersome.
  • Bugs such as stuck armies, repetitive and scripted war events, unclear diplomatic and economic systems, and unbalanced difficulty diminish the gameplay quality.
  • optimization
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Optimization reviews are mixed, with some users experiencing smooth performance after recent fixes, while others report stuttering, crashes, and lag, especially at higher speeds. The UI also receives criticism for being laggy and convoluted. Overall, performance has improved but still needs further refinement.

    • “After reading some other reviews, I was a little skeptical of the performance and bugs, but really sinking my teeth into this game was one of the best decisions I've recently made!”
    • “Looks like performance issues got fixed.”
    • “I've had no performance issues playing on laptop with Ryzen 8845HS.”
    • “The performance is terrible, and the UI, most of which doesn’t seem to work, is laggy and convoluted.”
    • “Performance at higher speeds drops off a little bit and the game starts stuttering.”
    • “Performance is horrible at the moment.”
  • gameplay
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay offers a compelling and challenging experience centered on managing an empire in decline, with a well-balanced system that punishes overly aggressive strategies. It features a unique blend of mechanics reminiscent of other grand strategy games, providing a fresh and engaging twist. However, it lacks some quality of life improvements, which can make the learning curve feel steep.

    • “Core gameplay is very good, with a lot of interesting ideas in the game, and a nice change of pace after playing Paradox games for years.”
    • “Too aggressive gameplay is punished well, and the feeling of a falling empire is well reflected in the gameplay.”
    • “Not much quality of life mechanics implemented.”
    • “Gameplay feels like something between EU5 and Imperator from Paradox.”
    • “The general gameplay loop and concept of managing an empire in decline against stacking odds is a lot of fun and keeps you on your toes.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Grinding in the game is considered tedious, especially due to the lack of filters for important traits like religion and the fast game speed that makes managing numerous cities and individual upgrades feel overwhelming. However, the events system is praised for adding engagement without becoming repetitive.

    • “6 cities hate it when the governor is of a different religion, but there is no way to filter by religion making it a tedious process to find one of the same religion if you have one.”
    • “I do think that the game speed is too fast, even on one speed, and building stuff is really tedious because of how many cities there are. I would prefer more general upgrades, maybe something like town specializations or districts, instead of dozens of upgrades for each town.”
  • atmosphere
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere is richly complex, effectively immersing players in the experience of a declining empire. This depth enhances the game's overall sense of immersion and engagement.

    • “A lot of complexity that favors immersion into the atmosphere of a falling empire.”
  • story
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story effectively immerses players in managing a non-Roman empire, with the tutorial providing a helpful introduction to the narrative. Playing the tutorial is recommended to avoid confusion and better understand the game's context.

  • graphics
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users note potential performance issues with the game's graphics, though some with high-end hardware like the 7900XTX do not experience problems. It's recommended to test the game with a grand campaign launch to assess if your PC can handle the graphics smoothly.

  • stability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game currently experiences bugs and stuttering issues, impacting stability, but users appreciate the developer's progress and are hopeful for future updates to improve performance.
