Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
37 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Slightly different mechanics to traditional Cossacks with troops having morale and able to be routed when their morale drops, there are also other interesting mechanics with different formations of soldiers actually making a difference (not sure if they did or didn't in the other Cossacks).
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This combination of turn-based grand strategy and real-time tactical combat creates a compelling loop.
Graphics

21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The sound design complements the visuals with musket fire, cannon blasts, and era-appropriate musical themes that underscore the historical atmosphere.
