The verdict
A slower Ultimate General-style Napoleonic tactics game with fun formations, good visuals and optimization, but weak AI and only ~10 battles. Skip it if you want polished AI or lots of content now.
Great for
Ultimate General fans and Napoleonic tactics lovers who accept Early Access jank and want to support its growth
Main risk
Passive AI and bad pathfinding, with only about 10 missions at a price some find high
What players love
