Imperialism, is still a game I ve meticilously kept in my harddrive over a decade. Whenever I felt my history glands started working and I wanted to feel the power in my hands, I would start a game, if i wanted an easy smashing I would choose England, be a rich bastard, and enjoy it mightily when I can literally buy off every country. Or I can choose Russia, for a long and hard campaign, and have fun when you roll your tanks over London... I am not gonna tell about how it achieves these.. Just buy and enjoy.
This game, at least this first installment, in my opinion is a true successor of Panger General series. Yes it is real time, and yes timing of a click is sometimes important, and yes, sometimes things depend on more luck than what, but still, when you see you have positioned ur anti tank properly, when you realize german 88 flak is indeed a superior weapon , when you see your artillery mopping enemy artillery down, when you feel invincible while clicking your Maus tank towards hell, then you realize this game is REALLY about immersion. Its cruel, its hard, but when you get a knack of the strategy its an immense pleasure. I recommend heartily.
I didnt play the game yet. I dont need to. I bought it, i will play it. But I did, and will support GOG guys all the time. People who do their job with amateur spirits like this should ALWAYS be supported.
