Victoria: An Empire Under the Sun

Im going to keep this short. This game is about empire building in the 19th century. You can choose almost any country and start to expand your control, or in some cases just stuggle to survive. For any of you who ... Read Full Review

Probably the steepest learning curve i've ever seen, but if you put enough into it, you'll get a lot out of it.

If you're familiar with other Paradox titles, such as Europa Universalis or Hearts of Iron, you know that they have a reputation for creating deep, rewarding gameplay that makes you think long term rather than the short,... Read Full Review

Wonderful (if you have the time)

This game is easily my favorite strategy game made by paradox, and pretty much all other companies. I have been playing the Europa Universalis games and I truly love them and I thought they were the best games out there... Read Full Review

Good game I really liked this game, but after spending so many hours playing it gets repatative. waiting for a sequell..

Quality Strategy Game - but may be for Historians only...

Quality strategy game that follows on chronologically from it’s forerunner Europa Universalis II. This game focuses on the late 19th and early 20th century, and has basically the same game engine and interface as EUII, b... Read Full Review

This game is pretty good like its counterpart Hearts of Iron the game is basically about taking the world and as much as you can in a certain time expansion limit. Well they did a little too much remodeling of this game ... Read Full Review

There are aspects of "Victoria" that could use work. It doesn't have a tutorial, the manual is totally inadequate, and it's very, very complicated. I pick up most games quickly, yet "Victoria" took me over a day to final... Read Full Review
