Pretty fun game, BUT... This is not a "total war competitor" as many people have praised it. The campaign is enjoyable but 9 hrs in and its already decently repetitive. The battles are fun and challenging, but again, 9 hrs in and the battles are getting pretty repetitive. I will continue to play this game as I am genuinely enjoying it, but I feel the price was too high. This is a very low budget game selling itself as a mid-range product. I recommend waiting until the game is on sale before picking it up. If this game was sold for 1/2 the posted price, then I would give it a 9/10. With the price $30+ I'll give it a 6/10

This is amazing to see, a developer that gave a workshop and is deploying free content. I STRONGLY encourage the developers to release paid DLCs to support this game further. It has such a huge amount of potential, way to go! Creative Assembly should be ashamed to let their Total War historical games (outside of ancient times) be forgotten. The only "con" I'd say is the battles can feel a little repetitive over time, terrain sort of makes a difference, but visually it's all plains & flat lands. And you're limited to 5 Corps(?) divisions(?) only, so don't think you can make 50 battalion Serf Armies, that is not going to happen. Overall I'd recommend it as a HUGE Empire & Shogun Total War player.

This is technically a negative review, but posted as a positive one — because I want this game, and games like it, to succeed and continue to develop. I’ve fully achived Pax Britannica and tested all core systems before writing this. Pros Excellent setting and scale. Impressive attention to authenticity. Cons & Suggestions 1) Inventory System – excessive and tedious Feels more like a looter shooter than a strategy game. In mid-to-late game, managing 5 brigades × 4 units × 8+2 slots = 200 equipment positions is absurd. Losing a unit means losing all its gear, forcing another collection grind. I spent more time managing items than commanding armies. Suggested improvements: 10 shared inventory slots per brigade. Sorting/rearranging by rarity. Autosell button. Settlement stores should share a unified budget/stock cap to avoid micromanaging multiple merchants. 2) Predictable AI behavior AI always performs the same frontal assault if unable to flank. Even worse, sacrificing your general provokes a suicidal charge. Needs variety and tactical depth. 3) Ineffective generals Currently a boring, tedious unit — without meaningful impact on gameplay, besides suicide charge to exploit AI. 4) Infantry dominance Five infantry brigades outperform any army composition. Artillery and cavalry feel underpowered. 5) Unit behavior and micro-management Sharpshooters require too much manual control — they should retreat automatically. “Hold position” should function as a toggleable stance, not a full manual babysit. Right now, historical tactics are mostly cosmetic roleplay, not practical strategy. Summary Master of Command is an amazing concept with huge potential, but current systems — especially inventory and AI — drag the experience down. I genuinely hope the team continues refining it, because there’s a great game buried under the clutter. Thank you for the hard work and vision — I’ll happily revisit after future updates.

this is a good game, and this is important because total war has been able to get away with being excruciatingly mediocre for so long because there isn't enough competition against them in the space. you should buy this game.
