Players praise NationWar2's ambitious grand strategy concept with deep historical setting and systemic complexity similar to Europa Universalis IV, but are severely frustrated by the lack of development support, with complaints of over a year without updates suggesting the game may be abandoned. Common gameplay frustrations include poor vassal control mechanics and difficulty managing military tactics, though some players find it rewarding despite its rough, passion-project presentation.
