10/10 Stars. Great Strategy! Great QOL layout HUD and Graphics! Great Story! I have been thinking of playing this game time and time again for thirteen years already, I don't know how its been so long since I have opened it! I have played this game offline on my laptop because I know there have been over 8.3 hours put in. I just played a half hour now and I am over halfway through the campaign.

I used to play this when I was very young. I would invite my neighbor's friends to my house and play with my brother. I have a lot of memories with this game. I bought it again and installed it to relive my childhood memories.

Absolutely phenomenal strategy game, one of the best I have ever played. Each individual mechanic is beautifully simple and easy to both understand and execute, the game's depth comes from combining different mechanics to overcome your opponents. I played this for dozens of hours back in the Xbox 360 days, I cannot recommend it enough. Still holds up as a well-designed game, all these years later! Stages are very bite-sized and easy to play in short sittings, while the whole single player campaign can take several hours to complete. It grows in complexity and challenge, with the grand finale making you feel truly tested as you fight with the odds stacked against you. My favorite feature: each faction can only move 5 units in a turn. This keeps the action moving quickly and smoothly, and it also keeps things fair by forcing you to play smart instead of just relying on numbers. Having more troops will give you more reach, but it won't give you an advantage beyond that; if you want to win, you need to use your troops effectively. Smart plays are rewarded, use all the tricks at your arsenal and do not be afraid to fight dirty!
