GDN writes: "For the Glory spans from 1419 – 1820 providing us with a historic version of events from almost all of the cultures and dynasties from the time. But in this version things don't always have to go as they did in history. For The Glory puts history in your hands and lets you mold the world to your shape and change history for the better. Depending on how well you handle the situations put before you. Compared to EUII, which this game feels like an expansion to, the UI has been greatly improved offering useful tool tips and new icons which make things slightly easier."
SquareGo: "Paradox Interactive have been creating historical strategy games for the PC since 1998. They are most famous for three major series; Hearts of Iron, Victoria and Europa Universalis. To say that they are improving steadily with each game may sound daft, but given that their original model of "Europa Universalis" was an incredibly well detailed and in-depth experience, I hope you might understand my full meaning of improvement a little better."
Gamekult: As For The Glory is a derivative of Europa Universalis II, first recall what the principle of this series inspired by the eponymous boardgame. The player finds himself catapulted to the head of a nation in the early fifteenth century and must have it survive for about 400 years through the great historical events that have turned upside down this time
Armchair General writes: "Ambitious games beg for mods and sequels. Paradox's Europa Universalis series is in its third incarnation with another expansion, Heir to the Throne, released in December 2009. What, then, is For the Glory? Is this a stand-alone add-on or a newer version of the older Europa Universalis II? The answer is that it's a product that is more than a mega-patch but less than a new game."
