This game is absolutely phenomenal, but be warned you will get sucked in for countless hours. It's very hard and unforgiving so not for everyone. However if you like a challenge, do it.

In a nutshell, this a game with deep turn based combat though at first glance it doesn't seem that way. The gear is very well balanced and somethings do better than others against some situations. There is a wide range of different character backgrounds, traits, and random skills they are good at leading to a very large range is quality of the men you hire. Also the map is random every time you play and 3 different endgames making each playthrough pretty different.

57 hours in at the point of posting this and I’ve restarted... well lost track of the number of times. I've had several great runs though up till this point and each of them very memorable. Well worth even full retail.

EDIT: LOL wow I wrote that at 52 hours… and now have more than 280 hours clocked on this gem. Everything in this review holds true through all the of the expansions. The latest expansion is very well done adding a load more content to the game while not tipping it’s balance at all. The game is still soul crushingly brutal and we love it for that, keep up the wonderful work Overhype.
