Empire Architect is a promising game with a lot of depth, with some features inspired by the grand strategy genre, and an always evolving gameplay, with a lot of updates and bugfixes made by a developer who really cares for his creation and the community.

Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
9 of 123 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are smooth, soft on your Gpu/Cpu, if the difficulty is turned up it can be challenging.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
7 of 123 sampled reviews raised it
+For a game where having stellar graphics was obviously not the focus during development, buildings are decorated quite nicely, they show a definite attention to detail.
