Neither the Steam version I own, nor this version are working. Yes I did install PhysX (restarts of my PC inculded), copied the PhysXLoader64.dll over, I tried different versions of compatibility mode, start as administrator, check on DirectX, start from the folder directly etc. The only difference between both versions is, that the GOG game gives me a start picture, while I get nothing at all on the Steam version. This is the first game on GOG that I can't run.

5 stars for the beautiful art, the nice sounds 5 stars for the gameplay that is really interesting, it's a board game style game with some ressource management a bit of tactics involved, some random stuff, unique enough to everything else I have played to stand on its own. It worked without any problems on Windows 10 and will also work on older PCs, since it doesn't need a high end machine. 2 stars for the very short single player campaign that is more of a long tutorial with a huge spike in difficulty after the first three maps. To make this clear, the single player content is fine, the little "story" was enough to keep me going, but for about 15 € (normal price) that is not enough. Especially if you are not much interested in multiplayer mode. I took my time with the game, had to try a while to get over the difficulty spike and was done in about 20 hours. I will probably not open the game again, which is sad. There is a "tweak your games" mode and an online mode, which are not much of interest for me, but might for you and help to get a better deal than I feel that I got. If you want a comparison, then I would compare this a bit to "A Druid's Duel" that has a much longer single player campain though. All in all and since I got the game reduced on Winter Sale I am fine with my purchase. If you have someone that can play the game with you in its multiplayer mode than it can be nice to kill each others gangs and steal stuff in front of the others nose. I wasn't able to test this feature yet though.
