Ace Gamez: East India Company Review

Ace Gamez:

There’s enough to like about East India Company to recommend it to those that prefer the economic trading aspect of strategy games to the combat, but while it’s all competent enough, I often found my mind drifting back to Empire: Total War – probably because even though its trading and ship combat aspect aren’t quite as in depth, it offers a vast amount of other options to play with. East India Company just feels too limited in scope and design; the fact that land battles are omitted (the real EIC did engage in a few themselves) is also a crushing blow. More options and variety would certainly have been welcome here; without them, East India Company is a fun if largely unremarkable experience.
