The game is also notorious for its massive and still-growing number of Steam achievments to unlock. The basic gameplay feels-at least to me– like a mix between Total War (the video game) and Risk (the board game) but in real-time strategy form. Many nations, especially the more prominent ones, feature unique gameplay mechanics and events which allow the player to either follow the course of history or take control and make their nation their own. The game begins in the year 1444 and runs until 1821, but it also has bookmarks which can allow you to start your game in a number of historically significant years from throughout the time in between the end dates. In fact, Paradox’s team is still developing the game and updates it regularly, so it’s actually gotten much more enjoyable over the years.Ī shory summary for those new to the game: in Europa Universalis IV, you can select any nation in the world and lead them to war or victory as you see fit. I can wholeheartedly say that it’s my favorite game in terms of both enjoyment and time played, and it’s not aged at all since I’ve begun playing it. To be perfectly honest, I’m surprised at myself for not having made an EU4 post sooner than this. EU4 is a game which continues to impress me even after pouring endless hours into it over the past few years. Forget the likes of Civilization or Total War.
Nearly 4 years after its August 2013 release, Europa Universalis IV is still at the pinnacle of the grand strategy genre.
