How it feels

A slow, methodical wargame that recreates the grim strategic maneuvering of a 19th-century civil war.

What players say

Players praise the rare Taiping Rebellion setting, but the game is riddled with bugs that corrupt saves, cause cards to become unplayable, and let AI troops teleport behind lines. Reviews split on whether the clever event system and strategic depth outweigh the broken victory triggers and endless mopping-up of teleporting enemy remnants.
