The removal of the dynasty system from 5, is and will remain to be a major disappointment/

Taking into consider one man made this game by himself you've got to give him credit, I've found a few little bugs here and there that I'm sure are easily fixable, I.e

When you create a new vassal and create a custom civilisation for it, for some reason it won't let you name it so you cannot create a custom vassal since without a name you can't continue.

Other than that this game is a massive improvement over it's mobile predecessor.

I'd also like to point out two things I'd like to see added to this title,

1 - When forming a union with other countries I would love to be able to customize the flag, ruins the flag when it just cuts up into 4 nations.

2 - The ability to rename Alliances, the default random alliance names generated are cool but I would like to be able to change it for my own immersion.

This is a turn-based risk style game and comparing it to most AAA strategy games is just completely unfair, take it as it is then it's fantastic for what was promised. I've had fun so far attempting to conquer England as Scoltand, forging allies with France and Norway because on my own I wasn't strong enough.

For the price tag of £4 and a single developer this has topped my list of purchased games this year, I look forward to spending many more hours in this game.

I highly recommend this game to anyone who played the original on mobile and enjoyed it, you will certainly love this addition.

Well done, Lukász.

Finally, Splinter Cell decided to take a step back to its roots, it's not perfect but as mentioned, step in the right direction.

8/10 Would smash again.

Start of as feeble human in scary wasteland, discover major tragedies that have effected life, start to fear for the future of mankind.

Find a suit of power armor, destroy everything in sight, become overlord of the wasteland, forget about saving mankind.

10/10 Would smash again.

Build. Frustration. Sadness. Mourning. Satisfaction. Win.

(Would rate 10/10, but there is no freeplay mode after completion)
