How it feels
A slow, thoughtful wargame where you methodically maneuver troops on a hex grid, taking time to plan each move.

What players say
Players praise the unique blend of turn-based strategy and realistic Chinese terrain, with deep mechanics like terrain-based combat and an economy system where inflation and population matter. However, the learning curve is steep, the game has performance and bug issues, and some worry development has stalled.
