This is my original review posted to Steam on July 16, 2020, with 7.2 hours logged at time of review. I’ve since put in over 1,000 hours.
I’ve only played this game a short time, and only in Single Player, so I’m going to focus on that section only.
First, I tried the maps that are “Free this week.” They were prison layout maps, and were a nice change from the commonly known world map of the board game origin. The cost to play each game is 5 tokens, and you get around 200 to start. By the time the game is over, you’ve already gained back 2 or 3 tokens, since they give you 1 every 20–30 minutes of being in game.
The AI opponents don’t seem to have too much of a change in strategy from Easy to Expert, and I’ve already defeated 5 AI on Expert mode. That said, I still love this game — the only downside to playing it on a physical game board was moving the pieces, and the dice knocking pieces off countries, not having enough room on each country for your troops.
Now that it is online, I really enjoy the challenge and strategy this game provides. The interface and speed of the controls and game is awesome!
Verdict: Recommended — 1,012.2 hrs on record
