Victoria: Empire Under The Sun/ Revolutions (PC) Game Review

Описание

So here's a personal favourite of mine, Victoria. This is quite simply a proper strategy game. Paradox have been making these types of games for many years (e.g. Europa Universalis and Hearts of Iron) but, to me, this one is the best. It is an economic game at heart but don't let that put you off because as unlikely as it sounds, building railroads, factories, setting tarrifs and converting "pops" has never been more fun. It is far more in depth than the average strategy game and truly puts the Total War series (which despite how my review might sound I actually like given that I have all their games bar the most recent Empire TW) - at least its strategy element - to shame.

If you love strategy this really is a MUST BUY. The fact that you can take the Papal States or Ecuador or Burma and turn them into the next economic powerhouse is just such a cool thing. The diplomacy has many great options such as swapping techs, territory, claims and setting defensive alliances or alliances which exclude attacking certain countries.

Simply put this is the whole package and whats more there's a pretty busy online community and great modding potentiality with this game (I know because I've actually tried my hand at it). As always, feel free to put down your views on this game or ask questions about it.
