"It’s a great new take on the genre, and offers a fun game that’s easy to learn, but with lots of depth and tactical reasoning. It feels like a more Tactical version of Risk and is a lot of fun to play."

"So often do conflicts begin unprovoked that it is nearly impossible to always be in a position to preemptively deal with a threat before damage is inflicted"

"Path of War is more similar to board games like Risk or chess than with traditional turn-based strategy games. Lucky for you, the artificial intelligence is so good that it is just as fun as the aforementioned games"

"It's one of the best strategy turn based, hex games on a site but it's like a endless tutorial and can be much better if fixed a bit more and add stuff like infantry and other stuff, but its still a fun game with lots of variables that make it a true strategy game."
