When you join another player's game, you have to wait 1-3 minutes to join just to find out that you've spawned as the team that has 10 troops and 4 territories left. I can't believe they're charging money for this game. When you join another player's game, you have to wait Online play is absolute garbage. It will most likely not be the case, but an extention of this game would be welcome. I had higher expectations of this, but playing this basic game is still a nice thrill. The balanced AI goes further with invading than most people would do but is furthermore tactical enough to invade one area to disturb others from having whole continents so that player get less troops next round, playing agains AI is challenging enough for the average player. The AI is average and has 3 modes, balanced, defensive and agressive. And I think, when you publish a digital version of a boardgame, there should be some extra variables in expend of the boardgame and it should at least have a campaign mode. The game has great graphics and a nice futuristic theme but as a game it's really BASIC. My point is that a game from the year 2000 has all this extra game-variables, while this new Switch game has almost none of this, and I think this is a missed opportunity. And last but not least there was a "tournament" mode which could be seen as a basic campaign mode. In the options menu of Risk II you could also set the value of cards, distribution of territories by auction and winning by occupying a percentage of the world map instead of 100% world domination. You also have the option to include some islands like Hawaii (link between Japan and East America) and New Zealand. In Risk II you could play with 8 players, and there was a game-mode called "same time" in which players choose their attacks simultaneously and get battles with multiple fronts and have border-battles. I have to compare this Risk to the computer-version Risk II from the year 2000 (!), and I have to conclude that there is an absence of game modes, playing rules and multiple soundtracks. The hologram style is nicely done and overall playing one game is exiting, the game is worth those €20,00 but that's about it.
