Gameplay and Mechanics
Politon offers two different turn mechanics: Standard and Arena. The game features 4 unit types, 3 building types, and hex grid maps waiting to be conquered. The unit types are arranged from weakest to strongest: Peasant, Militia, Baron, and Knight. Each hex grid allows placing one unit or building, and each unit has one movement point per turn. To afford the cost of units and their maintenance, you must expand your territory and strengthen your economy by building Farms. You can opt to place Outposts or Watchtowers to form defensive lines. Enhance your economy by collecting resources from the terrain or strategically spreading your influence by waiting for a few turns. The joy of victory lies in achieving the highest score or eliminating all your opponents, depending on the game mode.

TL;DR - 8,5/10. It is ideal for a fun and entertaining time at this price.
- Stylized graphics! A huge turn on for me.
- It resembles a simplified version of 4x Grand Strategy.
- Easy to learn, hard to master.
- Ideal for those who complain about the length of other games of the 4x genre.
- Some balance problems and lack of strategy variety can be boring. But I believe devs are gonna work on this.
- Casual and competitive game mods.

I have been looking for a game like Politon for a long time. Game graphics are amazing and multiplayer mode is very successful. Also its good not to need a strong pc to play.

Easy to understand, hard to master.
Do you have a job that uses your brain power? Are you a student who in spare time usually needs a mental rest? Did you just broke from your long-time girlfriend and are so depressed that you cannot focus on too many details in famous games such as Civilization or Europa U. but still want to enjoy a game from time to time to relieve? Are you a parent who needs to work and do housework and plan the future and the present for your children? Do you want a break from your social activities that might have used your social energy? THEN THIS GAME IS FOR YOU!
Simple mechanics and the turn based system makes this game suitable for people who just do not want to put a lot of mental effort for a game. There must be a balance of course, since no effort can be boring. I believe that this game has a pretty good balance for a large set of players. The simple mechanics enable player to consider every detail and take actions acoordingly; however, it is also possible to play without considering (or even knowing) every detail too.
The turn order puts a thrill because you can never know what the enemy will do and you need to guess before taking actions if the enemy's actions in a turn has more priority than you. For example you can try to attack a enemy soldier but he may be planning to move it to some other tile so that your attack will turn into a movement...
