I love the steampunk/industrial feel of this game. In a lot of ways, it is like a mashup of Red Faction, Bioshock and Serious Sam, can't wait to jump back in!

Stupid fun :) Fine graphics for a $5 dollar game and a fun, surprisingly expansive multiplayer experience.

I played the beejeezus out of Rome: Total War and a fair amount of Medieval : Total War and both of those games resonate as strong and fond moments in my mind.

This game is the same, but ten times more rewarding and addictive. The AI on Very Hard and Legendary (especially legendary) is ruthless, which is great because the aforementioned Total War games I've played were a bit tedious and easy for me (can't seem to remember what difficultly I played on though.....hm :P).

The graphics and animations are slick and an added bonus to the feel of total immersion that the game tries, and mostly succeeds, at really fleshing out in the actual whole gaming experience. From the campaign map, with the simulatenously ennervating (because it's fucking hard on the hardest levels) and wholly satisfying (because it feels right) way the economic and diplomatic intrigue plays out, to the excellent and rewarding battles the military (on both sea and land) components offer. Worth the $25 I payed def..
