The overall mechanics and interface feel exactly like CK2 so if you've played that game you will find yourself slipping easily into this game.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
22 of 184 sampled reviews raised it
People draw comparison with Crusader Kings, and it's correct to an extent, but I would say the game is even more similar to King of Dragon Pass, because events and narrative sub-plots are the best Star Dynasties has to offer.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
9 of 184 sampled reviews raised it
I like a steep learning curve, I like random curve balls and I do enjoy events even if I have seen them before because they are generic enough that they could happen to multiple characters without it seeming odd.
