    Europa Universalis V: Fate of the Phoenix is by no means essential to the enjoyment of this grand strategy game, but those with an interest in the Byzantine Empire in particular will be very pleased with what’s on offer in this Immersion Pack.

    On the basis of the shifted gameplay loop involving racing against the clock, Fate of the Phoenix presents a more hectic, difficult, yet rewarding way to play Europa Universalis V.

    The Europa Universalis V: Fate of the Phoenix immersion pack adds distinctive new features and flavor to the Byzantine Empire, making a challenging, undesirable empire more enticing for players to explore. However, for anyone not up to the substantial challenge, there isn’t much left to hold onto.
