True its to word, death or glory delivers great tactical challenges, and performs great!
There is however one problem, if you have installed this game, without patching, it will give you a lot of problems; performance, bugs etc. Download the latest patch, and all those problems are gone.
Translation is okay, but it is accented, if you want an authentic feel, buy the Russian version if there is one. If you are interesting in the 12th/13th century, this one is good to add to your collection, though there are obviously some good alternatives...
