Veterans: Napoleonic Wars is MUCH better than its demo!
I was really looking forward to the strategy game Veterans: Napoleonic Wars. Then I played the demo in May, and my enthusiasm kind of died. It was terrible. It wasn’t so much that the UI was unfinished, but rather the overall gameplay - and as I mentioned in my video, there was still a huge amount of work to be done on it. And as if that weren’t enough for the developers to deal with, just a few days later the game literally vanished from Steam because they were accused of copying the Ultimate General series. It was eventually resolved, but I have to note that when you look at the gameplay footage, there’s a certain logic to it. The developers, however, pressed on and released another demo, which I also had on my hard drive, but… due to a lack of time, I didn’t even open it up - though, to be honest, it’s not like I really felt like playing it anyway. A few days ago, though, I received a third email granting early access to the first release. Well, at that point, I just HAD to give it a try.
More in my early access review!
