This game is a lot of fun! The mini battles are incredibly satisfying and it's fun to mow down the enemy and relieve some stress. The gameplay is pretty easy to pickup but also you can replay it a lot without getting bored. Also the music is awesome.

The game provides zero tutorial and the interface is completely broken. I was unable to change the settings to select an ai difficulty or map. I continued to click around with different buttons hoping I could actually play or do something. I do not understand the positive reviews; this has to be one of the worst executed games that I have come across with respect to a lack of tutorial, unable to customize or select any settings including the ai difficulty, and the basic gameplay that seems to copy risk, (can't tell since there isn't any rules or guidelines), with horrible colors and graphics.

Fun take on classic risk board game, fun minigame between rounds that help change up the way reinforcments are spread around the map. Art style is cozy. Hope more game modes get added.
