It's certainly a very worthy spiritual successor to Fleet Command from the old days, and while it has nowhere near the complexity and depth in terms of managing large scenarios compared to, say, CMO/CMANO - what it does have is graphics, and it has those in spades.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Tutorial missions were great, taught the principles of gameplay very well and gave you what you needed to get into real missions, which have a good difficulty ramp.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The campaign does a great job at easing you into the gameplay loop and story and then suddenly at mission 5, I had to fight a Kirov-class missile cruiser with its 300 nautical mile range anti-ship missiles with my ragtag fleet of Australian destroyers and frigates whose harpoons only reach 65 nautical miles.
Linux compatibility
Players who bring up Linux compatibility mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It works on Linux, it has amazing mods, it has a mission editor.
