Game Vortex writes: "East India Company is an acquired taste. I know the same can be said about most games, but here, if you don't "get it" you probably won't like it.
Overall the game looks great, but isn't without some drawbacks. The game plays out through port, tactical and combat views, each with their own visual look. Planning out routes looks more like Civilization, while port view is mainly run-through menus. Combat is the more visually impressive of the three and features nicely detailed ships and some really cool combat FX. Other than the loading screens, which happen way too often, the only major visual drawback is menu design. Information isn't always "at your fingertips" and requires some digging."

I tried to like East India Company, but I just couldn't get into it, I found the ship battles a pain to play through and the grand strategy wasn't my cup of tea really. Sounds like they may have made some improvements though!
