6 of 209 sampled reviews raised it
It builds on classic Cossacks (same engine, basically just nicer looking sprites and effects) but lifts the musket/arrow/melee relation to the next level: Firearms load much slower, but every unit now has a moral value and gunfire impacts it much harder than arrows.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
5 of 209 sampled reviews raised it
Sound design reinforces the immersion with musket volleys, cavalry charges, and the ambient noise of busy settlements, helping convey the chaos of pre-industrial warfare.
