It feels like commanding units in a tense, historically-grounded simulation where every squad movement and tactical choice carries weight.

What players say
Players praise the grand campaign and realistic combined-arms combat, but say the AI struggles and the user interface does not scale well above 1080p. Multiplayer connections are unreliable, and most recommend waiting for a sale.
