World War One is a 2008 strategy video game published by Ascaron Entertainment for Microsoft Windows.[1]

Reception

[edit]

GamesRadar awarded World War One 7 out of 10, highlighting the vast game map of Europe, and the depth of diplomatic, economic and political options. The text-based tutorial was criticised, as was the slow AI and dull, uninformative combat results.[2] IGN commented that "whatever joys might be found in the setting or the game design are still obscured by incomplete documentation, a clumsy interface and a number of bugs".[3] IT Reviews said the game had a "user-unfriendly interface, an impenetrable tutorial and a constant desire to crash and burn".[4]
