The verdict
A free, simple Risk-like turn-based conquest game with light economy and diplomacy, fun solo or with friends. Skip it if you want depth, a good AI, or all maps without paying.
Great for
Casual strategy fans who like Risk-style conquest, short sessions and playing with friends
Main risk
Most maps and multiplayer hosting need coins or paid DLC, and the game is shallow and repetitive.
