Reviews

“When I purchased it I was a bit intrigued about this game. After a few hours of playing it, I am still intrigued about this game.”
Real and Simulated Wars

“Empire: Total War stares in disbelief, as a single man slaps its face with a glove. It feels as futile as the Prussian guard's assault at Kolín. But the bayonet is firmly fixed, and the face underneath the grenadier's hat shows determination: Oliver Keppelmüller's strategy game, The Seven Years War (1756-1763) doesn't fawn before bigger titles.”
The Pelit (2/16) - biggest gaming magazine Finland

“In an era where developers are pushed by corporate concerns, gamers – especially those interested in understudied topics – should embrace this game and use it as a model for the path our hobby should take.”
