This game truly poses a conundrum to me:

Is this game filled to the brim with game-breaking bugs? Yes, it is! Does it have the worst pathfinding I've ever seen in a strategy game? Sure! And does the "AI" barely deserve the "I" for "intelligence" in its name, because it does one brainless decision after the other? Definitely!

Yet do I still love to play this game despite all of its flaws? Absolutely!

I'm not exactly sure why this is. Maybe it's the enormous scale of the map which covers almost half of the Earth - the largest the series has ever had. Or maybe it's the game's atmosphere? Seeing lines of disciplined musketmen shooting at one another or big warships exchanging broadsides on the high seas? Or maybe it's the music? The Main Theme still gives me chills after all these years.

While "Empire - Total War" never truly lived up to its ambitions it still managed to find a special place in my heart.

Just don't....

Adventure Capitalist is a huge waste of time that is impossible to complete unless you spend huge amounts of money on microtransactions or play the game literally for centuries.

• charming art style
  
• addictive gameplay
  
• fast progression in the early game

• almost no strategy involved
  
• progression slows down significantly later on
  
• new end game content takes literally centuries to complete unless you spend real money or cheat by changing your system time
  
• same issues with the moon

Please save yourself the time and avoid this game.
