Aggression – Reign Over Europe is the latest
strategy title from developer Lesta Studio. Focusing on both World Wars,
Aggression is a pretty ambitious historical strategy game. The game also allows
you to change the course of world history, depending on how you play it. Fans of
the strategy genre and history buffs alike should have cause to keep an eye out
for Aggression when it hits the PC.
The game covers a lot of ground, covering a
forty-year span from 1910 to 1950, thereby encompassing both World Wars. You’ll
deal with diplomacy as well as warfare, setting up alliances with other European
nations, as well as building up your technology within your cities.
One way that Aggression differs itself from other
strategy titles is the openness of the campaign. You’ll be able to select
between four different European nations (France, Russia, England, and Germany),
each with their own boons and chances for outside help from other nations like
Italy and Spain. Since the game’s campaign takes place over a longer period of
time than many historical strategy games, you’ll be able to have some serious
effects on the course of history during World War I and II. You’ll also be able
to enlist the help of famous people like Albert Einstein to help you in your
pursuits, as well, adding a nice touch to the game’s universe.
Graphically, the game is pretty much on par with
the majority of strategy games on the market. The interface is pretty clean and
easy to navigate, and the environments are nice and colorful. The game won’t tax
your PC too much, but does the job nicely.
Aggression – Reign Over Europe should be pretty
familiar for fans of the strategy genre, but the various campaign elements and
branching gameplay should appeal to those looking for something expansive and a
bit different.
