Strategic War in Europe

IN A WORD: MAYBE IN SHORT: OF A SIMILAR NATURE TO: Hearts of Iron. WHAT TO EXPECT: Basic turn-based gameplay. Limited research, diplomacy & infrastructure. Clunky GUI. Dated graphics.

A decent entry level strategy game. While not as deep as games such as Hearts of Iron, it offers a fair amount of depth. Things like research and diplomacy are in the game, but not so detailed or timed consumer that they take away from the game. If you are looking for something fun that can be played in a few sittings then consider Strategic war in Europe. Key points of the game Unit types: The types of units...

The game has the feel like the old avalon hill "Rise and Decline of the 3rd Riech" which was an alltime favorite. However, the game is an unfished product. Bugs are pretty common, but also crashes on a regular basis. The naval system, is pretty much broken and or the map data is corrupt. Play wise, I would highly recommend this game, but its still one or two patches away from a finished product. Can't recommend it...

This game is very much in need of patches. there is so many little bugs along with some real big one's. It's almost like it's a half finished beta. If it ever gets fixed it's going to be a outstanding game but for now don't buy it. Oh and if you do buy it, save your game alot as it crashes,,,,,,,alot.

I must agree with others on here. As much as I wanted to like this game I cannot. I read that this game was published in 2012. It is hard to beleive.

The tutoral is just a bunch of pop up windows that you need to read. I also had a problem with...

I like this game. It's a simple to learn game with plenty of tactics involved. I'd consider Strategic War in Europe a good introduction into the Grand Strategy genre. There's a decent variety of units, all of which can either be leveled through battles, or you can spend extra in training them so that they come out at the level you want. There's a basic research and diplomacy which I found a bit disappointing, but I...
