Free Risk Game - Review of Free Full PC Download Version of Hasbro's Risk Game

This review of the full version free risk game download includes details of how it is played and where to get a full downloadable PC version. The popular classic board game is a world domination strategy competition, where the board is a map of the world separated into territories. The main aim is to use your troops to take over all the territories and basically dominate the map with your army. The computer adaptation is an excellent reproduction. And with the extra benefits of playing this electronic version, makes it well worth downloading.
 
In this free Risk game adaptation, you begin with naming your General and choosing 2 opponents to play against. Either other people playing on the same PC or computer controlled (AI) generals. There are 16 different generals to choose from, all named after famous generals from history. They are each given a rating, so if you are newbie you'd opt for a general with a 1 star rating for 'easy' level whilst once you've had more practise you may want tougher opposition and so you can choose a general with a 5 star rating.
 
Just like the board game, all the players are given the same amount of troops which you will distribute around the board map within the territories you own. But in this version there are 2 modes; you can choose to share out the countries using the classic board method called the Territory Claim mode or the Random Deal mode which is where you allow the PC to share out the territories.
 
Once all the players' armies have been placed on the map, you start the game. The aim is to dominate the world map, which you do by trying to overtake each opposing army that is in a neighbouring territory to yours.
 
You start your turn by choosing which bordering territory you want to attack, making sure you have at least two groups of armies in the territory you are attacking from. The fight for the territory begins. This is done by both the attacker and defender rolling the dice, which is done graphically by clicking on 'roll' to roll the dice. Whoever gets the highest number on the dice wins that battle, which results in knocking out one of the loser's army. The attacker can choose to roll again until they completely defeat the defenders armies or until the attacker runs out of armies (remember that the attacker must have a minimum of 2 armies in the attacking country).
 
You can choose to attack a number of countries within your go and once you have finished, it is the next players turn to make attacks to try and take over countries. Like the original you get reinforcements if you own a whole continent and collect bonus cards which you can then trade in for extra cavalry, infantry or artillery.
 
The additional benefits to playing this full version free Risk game on your PC include:

  • You can play against the computer with AI generals - so you can play it whenever you want
  • There is background music, sound effects, voice-overs for the AI generals and animation that enhance and make the game more fun
  • You can speed up the setting of the armies, by choosing the Random deal mode
  • You can get a full version download of this free Risk game, not just a trial version so you can play unlimited Risk games on your PC
  • It's great to play for a bit of nostalgia for fans of the original
  • With the 16 AI generals you can choose the level of difficulty of each of the games, with a choice of easy (1 star) to hard (5 stars) ranked General opponents each named after a famous general from history such as Napoleon and Wellington!

This computer adaptation of one of the most popular board games is easy to pick up, fun to play and has some well thought out extras. As you can get a free Risk game full version download, it is a great choice and definitely worth downloading especially for sentimental board gaming fans and strategy gamers.
