but never released. Reception The game got 5 out of 5 stars in Dragon. Computer Gaming World in 1991 praised Powermonger as "simply superb ... a joy to play". Reviewing the Amiga version, CGW favorably cited its graphics and realism, but criticized its unusually strict copy protection and the need to load a saved game twice to return to the previous state. In a 1993 survey of strategy games set pre 20th-century, the magazine gave the game three stars out of five. Reviewing the Sega CD version, GamePro criticized the graphics, commenting that "the maps are so pixelated that you can barely see what's going on or who's who. After going through lots of slow strategy, a nice visual payoff of your decisions being executed would've really added to the FunFactor." However, they gave the game an overall recommendation based on its slow-paced strategy gameplay. Electronic Gaming Monthly gave Powermonger an overall score of 6.6 out of 10 from five reviewers, who praised the high detail of the simulation. Powermonger won Computer Gaming World'''s 1991 Strategy Game of the Year award, and was ranked the 32nd best game of all time by Amiga Power''.
