US Steam price, checked 1 h ago
A budget Total War-style musket-era battler wrapped in a roguelike army-building campaign with deep regiment customization. Skip it if you want strategic depth, varied maps or smart AI.
Great for
Fans of Empire/Napoleon Total War and Battle Brothers who like building and customizing an army in short runs
Main risk
Battles and maps become repetitive and the AI is easily exploited, which feels thin for the price
