    If you like games on a grand strategy level (for example you mostly use auto battles in total war) this game is quite interesting. It offers theatre not often portrayed in games (east europe/russia) at an interesting time period (baltic crusades).

It offers theatre not often portrayed in games (east europe/russia) at an interesting time period (baltic crusades). It has interesting and balanced game mechanics that will please players who like the overview map level of strategy, managing armies, diplomacy and economy. The main problems are: you have to find things out on your own. Tutorial is weak (even broken), no manual and a small community to rely on for answers. If you dont have the patience to learn the game by trial and error stay away. The lack of aggregating menus really hurts this game as well. Something as simply as an overview of how much you make and spend per month across all regions does not exist. Instead you have to micromanage each region and keep an eye everywhere at all times. This is frustrating and too much work. Finally you have to play the game in the lowest speed (there is a menu option to slow the game even further) otherwise you can't keep track of enemy movement. Before you even know you where at war you get a pop-up telling you about a lost town! Again the problem of having to keep an eye on everything at the same time and micromanage. If you have the patience or are a control freak you may end up enjoying the game. Also it is often on sale so it won't leave you feeling like you wasted money if you buy it at 75% off.… Expand

    After a long frustrating learning curve patient players will enjoy the high strategic-depth and complexity.

    Russian developers are said to make very difficult and unapproachable games, totally missing the international market. Reign: Conflict of Nations is an impressive proof. If you haven't thought of invading Jaroslawl with Latvia, you're better of with the Total War series.

    With only a few shortcomings, Reign is a good excuse to get familiar with the grand strategy sub-genre.
