13 of 81 sampled reviews raised it
The campaign, once you get the hang of, can be very satisfying and open ended to play, as you can make and break historical alliances at will, either reliving the historical progression or completely subverting it.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
9 of 81 sampled reviews raised it
The game takes it to whole new level in the campaign mode.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
7 of 81 sampled reviews raised it
The Seven Years War's combat system will be very familiar to those who played the Scourge of War and the Take Command series, and those who already like those games will surely enjoy the realism options and the interesting historical setting for this game.
