Funny for some time but doesnt seem to complicated
Too light. One play through is all it takes to understand all that the game offers. A second play through would be too much of the same for me.
Interesting concept. I wouldn't make assassin able to move between guards so easily. Although, the game says that it has a "Single-player" mode, it only has two stages for training only. This is not what "Single-player" means. On top of it, doing the "training" keeps telling me i had enough training and i should go play online and create an account which i'm somewhat "pressured" to do so. I am not interested in creating an account. I've paid for the game, i want to be able to enjoy the game and certainly do not want to receive any products publicity of any kind if this is what creating an account means. The game would be good if we would have a single player as promise and had a lot more stages to play on as well as different difficulties (more assassins for instance, use a citizen to make believe he is bad...get some ideas there)... Also, a camera rotation would be better; Top view isn't the best but side view doesn't allow us to see the square behind a building. Someone said the game was bland, maybe this is what it is. To give an example, 20 some years ago someone came in Starcraft and created a Cat-Mice game, then someone else made it Cat-Mice-Flea game... then a lo…
Simply not enjoyable. Basic and bland. Not every board game translates well to the digital medium.
Conceptually pretty neat, but unfortunately I am always having to re-learn the game every time I play.
