A neat feature in the game allows you to achieve points after each map. Using these points allows you to unlock additional units for the game, which can be used when you have a market on the map. In addition to characters you can also unlock additional maps for you to play wirelessly against all of your friends.

When it comes down to it, the game is put together very well. Everything flows from turn to turn, and the objectives are nicely outlined. The characters are quite unique which allows you to have free rein over the level of strategy you wish to use to conquer your opponents. The game also supports the multi-card play which allows you to play against up to three other people on the DS, so long as they also have the game. It is even more enjoyable playing against someone else, rather than just the computer, so if you can not only buy the game, but also get your friends to do it as well. All and all, Captain Gordon gives this game... a B+.
