Angry users gave the game negative reviews with comments like “Rome SJW Edition,” and “I play a game to escape from radical political agenda’s, not embrace them.

This response from the developer is despite the game getting review-bombed on Steam, meaning it has received a sudden insurgence of negative reviews, despite the fact that the game’s release date was in 2013.

The factions which are an exception to the 10% to 15% rate are due to “cultural differences during the time the game is set.”
