An absolutely broken system of war, in which your army can leave one front and go to the other side of the world just because your army has advanced there and a new front has automatically opened there.

There are game conventionalities, and there is the logic of the developers of this game, in which you can request the entire territory of Canada from Great Britain for helping it in a war with some tribe that does not even have troops. You don't even need to send troops, the AI itself will win and give you Canada. Have you seen prices in Canada? No wonder the UK wants to get rid of it.

An incredibly simple, incompetent economic system... there are the needs of the population and the consumption of industrial buildings. Build one so that the other works better, that's all.

Placeholder for the diplomacy system. There are a lot of possibilities, but it's all fiction. There is no deep, well-developed system here.


I think the game is complete crap and not only not worth your money, but also your time.

Worst BF I've ever played.

Simple, but with surprisingly interesting story.

Pretty much the best game of it's kind.
Even in current early access state absolutely playable and enjoyable.

Pathetic graphics, ridiculous animations and poor sounds.
I don't even know enough synonyms to describe low quality of this game.

Interesting ideas, but the mechanics are implemented at a relatively basic level, it feels like something is always missing.

I constantly encounter imbalances, bugs and lack of any information. It is not clear how the systems work, so you have to constantly ask other players in the chat and hope that there is an experienced player who will answer your questions.

When you start to understand how the game mechanics work, you realize that the game needs to be restarted, since you have to play like an experienced Starcraft player from the very beginning, otherwise AI will bring you to your knees and make the game unbearable. You can’t do some abstract things, like a madman you have to rush on a horse from one side of the map to the other all the time.

Tried to play smart as suggested by the game - use specific type of units to counter enemies. Mix of footman, archers and spearman to counter cavalry, but got beaten after some waves of enemies. While playing second game I tried to stop enemy expansion by building walls everywhere I can and It worked. If you build a lot of them, enemies will be stopped at the first line or just get stuck between mountains and your walls and won't attack your walls while your archers will slowly kill them all, or will just stand in fog of war away from your walls.

Enemy rushed into your lands? - just build walls around these units.

Although the game is free, it is incredibly monotonous and simple when you start exploiting the obvious weaknesses of the AI.

Описание игры и изображения показались весьма заманчивыми, особенно подкупала возможность "Отправлять сухопутные и морские экспедиции". К сожалению, экспедиции - это примитивное исследование невероятно маленькой карты, на которой расположено ваше стартовое поселение.

Викинги славятся своими набегами и путешествиями, однако путешествовать вы можете лишь рядом со своим домом, ибо мама дальше уходить не разрешила.

It may seem that there is a lot in the game, but this is just a misconception.
The idea is good, but the execution is extremely poor. Set up lines and sell the finished product, that’s it.

I believe that the game did not live up to the developer's expectations, so they simply abandoned it, sometimes releasing minor updates for the look.

More than 2 years have passed since the previous review, I can say that nothing has changed.
Developer pretends to be relatively busy, but nothing has changed fundamentally. The game still consists of a lot of strange design decisions, as well as bugs, some old bugs that are several years old have not been fixed.

• I don't know what I need to do to lose here. You buy raw materials and sell finished products. There are simply no difficulties or challenges here.
  
  
• There are no global events that could affect the price of the product. A certain level of reputation affects the price for which you can sell a product, and reputation, in one direction or another, can be influenced for $ by changing several settings. Why not at least implement contracts from different services and countries for the supply of different goods?
  
  
• At an incredibly basic level, there is laundering. It's just that instead of money, you get the goods that you sell, that's all. This whole innovation was presented as something incredibly cool, although it was implemented at such a basic level that it’s hard to call it a “feature.”

• In my opinion, the biggest problem with this is the limited size of the territory that you can cover at once. If you need to change a large space, you will have to select piece by piece.
  
• It is also worth noting not only the non-symmetrical size of the textures, but also their absolutely disgusting quality. Perhaps this is due to their resolution. Playing at 2k resolution, some textures are shockingly low quality.

Building walls and editing them is incredibly inconvenient.

• You can only build a wall in a straight line, and if you decide to change anything, you will need to tear down the entire wall.
  
• You can change the texture of the wall, but this is done on both sides at once. When adding an additional room, I am forced to build an additional wall/s. Anyone who has built and changed the texture will understand what I mean.
  
• There are two types of walls - external and internal. The inner one is distinguished by ~half its height. If you build a room with such walls next to external walls, it will look simply ridiculous.

Most of the time in this game you will arrange the machines this way, that way, to the left, to the right. This may seem like an interesting activity, but very soon it will get boring. As I wrote earlier, there are simply no events that could diversify the game and make it not so monotonous. All the time you will be setting up these damn machines so that you have enough money for slightly more expensive machines.



An incredibly cool idea that was implemented at a measly 5% of what could have been done. Even with a small development team, you can do much better.

After so many years of development, in general, only the number of machines that you can install has increased, but it seems that there was not enough time to fix even the smallest bugs.


Judging by the pace of development, I got the impression that the game did not live up to expectations, and from the video from the developer, that they have no idea in which direction to move. How can you develop a game without having an idea of what the game should at least look like? You are not trying to create a black hole... If you have problems with imagination, take real life as a basis, indicate the scale based on the capabilities of your development team, find similar games or games that implement the same modules - economics, construction, etc. Read player reviews about what they liked and didn’t like, play it yourself. How can you develop a game without any idea of what it should be like? Potential for nowhere...

Интересная задумка в хорошей графической "обёртке" даже на стадии альфы, однако сейчас, на мой взгляд, покупать не стоит. Несбалансированная экономика, скудность функционала и, скорее всего, множество билдов игры, в которых ваши сейвы игры будут не играбельны.

Сейчас покупать не советую, но в закладки добавить стоит. Стоит подождать более-менее наполненного и сбалансированного билда игры.
