  • A good military strategy game set in an interesting era, offering a rewarding experience for those interested in the Thirty Years' War.
  • The tutorial is excellent, making it accessible for newcomers to AGEOD games, while providing depth for experienced players.
  • The game features a complex and detailed wargame system that accurately depicts the historical context of the Thirty Years' War.
  • The game crashes frequently, leading to corrupted save files and making it nearly unplayable.
  • The user interface feels clunky and unresponsive, contributing to a frustrating gameplay experience.
  • Many players report that the game feels unfinished and lacks essential features, such as proper unit descriptions and a polished tutorial.
  • graphics
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are described as decent and functional, with a well-designed map, but they lack polish and fancy animations. However, the game's frequent crashes and bugs significantly detract from the overall experience, leading to frustration among players.

    • “The map is well done and the graphics are decent enough, although strictly functional.”
    • “The graphics and sound are not top-notch, but the biggest flaw is that you must continually keep saving your progress because the game keeps crashing. This really angered me: how can Ageod release a game that is so buggy and crashes all the time without fixing it with patches? They make customers pay 27 euros for such an amateurish product that is really bad. So now be warned about this game; it is running extremely buggy, which is why I can't recommend it.”

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is deeply engaging, particularly for fans of historical wargames, as it offers rich content related to the Thirty Years' War. Players must invest time and patience to master the complex mechanics, but those who enjoy deep strategy will find the experience both challenging and rewarding.

    • “I am very interested in historical games, and this game has a lot of historic content about the Thirty Years' War. The concept is very interesting, and as a wargame, it requires you to learn a lot about the game mechanics. I don't mind this because it is rewarding to learn and understand how to play the game. You need to muster a fair degree of patience and time to grasp the mechanics, but it is an interesting and rewarding experience. If you love deep strategy games like I do, this game really delivers a challenging but rewarding experience.”

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, with frequent crashes prompting players to save their progress constantly. This has led to frustration among users, who criticize the developers for releasing a buggy product without adequate patches, ultimately deeming it unworthy of its price.

    • “The graphics and sound are not top-notch, but the biggest flaw is that you must continually keep saving your progress because the game keeps crashing. This really angered me: how can Ageod release a game that is so buggy and crashing all the time without fixing it with patches? They make customers pay 27 euros for such an amateurish product that is really bad. Be warned about this game; it is running extremely buggy, which is why I can't recommend it.”

    The game is well-optimized, offering good performance without any reported bugs or crashes, making it a solid choice for fans of Ageod and the historical period it covers.

    • “If you are familiar with Ageod already, you have to get this game, as there are not many games covering the time period. The performance of the game is very good, and I haven't encountered any bugs or crashes yet.”
  • music
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is praised as splendid, contributing positively to the overall experience, while the game's visuals are also noted for their quality. Despite minor historical inaccuracies, the soundtrack stands out as a highlight for players.

    • “The music is splendid; the game looks very good, and even a nitpicker like me could not find anything wrong historically, save the missing French.”
    • “The soundtrack perfectly complements the gameplay, enhancing the overall experience and immersing you in the game's world.”
    • “Each track is beautifully composed, making the music one of the standout features of the game.”
