    The game is interesting and challenging. the AI is very well programmed: it uses various tactics and maneuvering to beat you. The game is polished and runs very well on an average machine. The only minor problem is that sometimes matches take 1,5 or 2 hours to finish. My personal mark is 82/100. Timegate, you have done a good work!

    Beware, the game secretly installs malware - SecuROM. It is likely to cause problems with your computer and is almost impossible to remove.

    If you like less control and more automation, this is the game for you. Kohan II is all about strategy and pretty much nothing else. You have little to no base control and your troop composition is pre-designed. For the most part, the game plays itself for you. Don't expect your typical RTS. In their effort to limit micromanagement, they have totally stripped away the variety and If you like less control and more automation, this is the game for you.

Don't expect your typical RTS. In their effort to limit micromanagement, they have totally stripped away the variety and style associated with successful RTS games. Their developer said, "If you don't like it, don't buy it." Unfortunately, I didn't take his advice. Don't make my mistake.… Expand

    This is an average RTS The first 2 of the Kohan series were great. In this version the creators backed away from the strategic elements by adding addditional unneccesary graphic detail to units and towns which reduced overall map visiblity (can't see as many units).

Added city detail and reduced city plancement locations further reduced the strategic elements that made KIS and KAG unique and successful games. The lack of improvments to the multiplayer matching system were also a disappointment. Still the company and resource model are still very strong.. my advice. Buy Kohan Arihimans Gift instead… Expand

    Played in 2015 - Seems to have aged poorly compared other rts games, especially the classics. Visually OK, and probably worth a play if you enjoy this genre, but don't expect anything timeless

    It plays similarly to the original yet has so much more to it that makes it unquestionably different. The resulting game has a great design, and it offers plenty of depth and complexity.

    The simple interface system works well, the controls are flawless, the graphics aren't too shabby and the gameplay provides a good balance of management and action.

    While other games coming out might be flashier and bigger and badder and all that crap, what it really comes down to is good strategy and in that aspect Kohan II really nails it.
