    • “Definitely not something you can learn in a day. The graphics look great, and the game runs smoothly.”
    • “Very cool game, definitely very hard to master, especially for beginners like me. There's a lot of content, and it's definitely on a new level from the last game (Acropolis: The Archaic Age). The graphics make it so chill and quiet that I eventually fell in love with it.”
