Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The multiplayer mode is so much fun, the fluidity of the gameplay is flawless (you're being able to draw custom paths for the troops and to select them by hand and not by an automated action like in most games of this kind, the animations and the graphics are quite humble but in the end they're aesthetically pleasing and not making me wanna gouge my eyes out like the graphics in HoI4... ), the tactical/planning aspect of the game is perfect.. it's not unnecessarily complicated yet extremely demanding and quite realistic.. thus very rewarding once you figure it all out.

There's not much music, but the opening/title screen theme is nice, and the sound effects in gameplay are realistic.
