Great game nonetheless. The game Sucks!. A product of love by a single-person developer. Gotta love the effort, but I cannot recommend this game.Its goal is admirable: to be a Total War/Scourge of War hybrid that provides more tactical depth than the former and includes a strategic/operational layer that the latter doesn't. And it does so with a period of history that has not been the subject of many PC games- The Seven Years War.However, the execution is not good. It's currently unstable. I had crashes in both the battle and strategic maps. And the stratAI came across as a comatose. My biggest problem, though, was the game's incredibly complex and unintuitve economic engine. It seems geared towards economics graduates or MBA students rather than players interested in an 18th grand strategy/tactical wargame. Why would I want to bother with setting "selling points" and "profit margins" in a wargame? I don't.Also, the game doesn't really assist with its steep learning curve. The manual is rather useless. The tool tip aids are incomplete with lots of misspellings and awkward grammar due to the developer speaking English as a 2nd language. And even the "Let's Play" youtube clips are not helpful. The one player who is regularly posting them seems absolutely clueless as to many of the game's facets.I fiddled around with it for two hours before deleting it. Maybe there is a good game hidden there somewhere, but I don't have the patience to dig through the unintuitive interface, poor documentation, and CTDs to find it. AGEOD's Wars in America or Rise of Prussia do much better with the subject material at the operational level. And Scourge of War tactical battles are infinitely superior. It'd be great if someone could combine the two, but The Seven Years War isn't that game.. A brilliant little strategy game for fans of games like the Scourge of War series, and to a degree, Total War. It's a good mix of those two series' and with a few more updates and some tweaking should be a truly fantastic strategy title. The campaign is fairly easy to get to grips with and does a fine job of providing a campaign experience, the battles themselves however are the meat of the game imo. thousands of little sprites cover HUGE battlefields to recreate the spectacul;ar battles of the time period and they allow you to fine control every regiment, or move entire divisions with ease. Not for someone looking for an arcade title, if you want a decent strategy game, with more realistic battles than Total War, look no further.. This game could have been fantastic, but there are some UI issues, along with constant crashing and bugs. Hopefully they fix these issues in their next game on the Civil War; another time period that is intriguing and has been done well in recent years.. yes this game is like total war but there are some crucial differences,-of course one man cannot provide the same graphics as creative assembly but this is already the only negativ difference, allthough it should be mentioned that the graphics are amazing for a one man project-this game is a rts: no round-based movement exploits like in total war, so army movement on the campaign map is also part of stretegic gameplay as it should be, no helplessly watching armies taking your undefended cities-logistics are part of warfare in this game, interrupt enemy supply lines and make sure your supply trains will reach your armies, overcrowding a region with too many soldiers also may lead to supply shortages-this game has an ecomonic system, that is worthy being called an economic system-to occupy a region is not the same as to conquer it-etc.second, this game is a scenario with variablle start dates to select, comparable to the heart of iron series, the earlist start date is 1750, as mentioned it covers a scenario and not an epoche like the total war sereies or paradox titlesthere are also some scenario battlesregarding economics, on first sight it may be hard to understand the economic parts of the game, but who did understand every aspect of a paradox title after half an hour play time?no, there is no need for neverending micro management, it is an economic system you have to balance, develop and adjust to your country's needsabout bugs, i bought the game in january 2016, the dev is constantly updating the game and all of the reported bugs in other reviews or in the steam forum are fixed, sometimes there are some new bugs coming along with new features, but given to the limited recources of the dev it's not that big issue as those bugs will be fixed anyway as soon as the bugs are reporteda few words to the dev Oliver Keppelmüller, he's constantly working on this game, listens to the community feedback and is open for ideasi can fully recommend this game for players who like in depth strategy games, because this game combines aspects of existing strategy games to a new subgenre of strategygames, that hopefully will succeedSry for my english as it is not my native language. good game, more of a complex strategy game, that goes in great detail, of every aspect on and of the battlefield.. The Seven Years War is a very fun historical game. The battles are intense, but take tactical ability to win. The Grand Campaign allows for greater nation planning, while trying to conquer enemy land to expand your great Empire. Army management is necesary to win the war. The campaigns are also very historical as you try to complete the historical nations goals and try to come out as one of the victorious nations in the Seven Years War. There are fun historical battles to recreate, or you can attempt to win as the historical loser of the battle. The economic mechanics seem like an afterthought to the player, but they can still be enjoyable to play around with. The variaty of playable nations is one of the best parts of the game, because of the historical roleplay and the changing objectives that freshen the game up when you are bored with one nation. Magnificent game with lots of potential!This game does not only expand the TW-style Grand Campaign mechanics by a whole economic dimension, but also managed to grant a really immersive in-battle-experience. Furthermore the developer (Singular!) manages to improve the game and fix minor errors in a marvelous amount of time. I am anxious for the DLC :)A must have for Strategy-fans!. As others have mentioned, So many bugs but this game has the potential to be great! Very hard to understand but love the concept. Game needs still some devlopment but untill all the problems are ironed out i think this should still be in beta. If i knew it had so many issues i wouldn't have bought it.
