I want to add also, that the game has PBEM++ (Play by Email with Slitherine server) like many recent turn based strategy by Slitherine, and you must try it, here is where the replayability of the game increase drastically.

Another great thing I've discovered is that while the graphics are not that great, the game runs great even on integrated graphic cards (tested on intel hd 4000, 60FPS in 1920x1080).
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
7 of 105 sampled reviews raised it
Don't expect cutting-edge graphics, but the game is both easy to learn and challenging to master, and has kept me entertained through multiple playthroughs of the same scenarios.
