I only played the one with Pokemon, but it was a pretty solid strategy game. Is this coming to the US?

 

That game and this game is not going to be similar.

Remember Civilization V? Remove technological progression, complex construction / unit management and such from it. Then in that place, put Hero management simulator.

Entire game's difficulty hinges on having more skilled and talented officers under your boots than having better resource pool. So you will spent majority of game play on micro managing what your officers are supposed to do, their happiness, training, and loyalty. (Depending on the game.)

Also, they will allow you to create custom officer that you can use to become a new power, or just added as an extra officer you could use.

Depending on which entry in the series you play, it has different focus. Sphere of Influence focuses on Diplomacy, and nerfed management and combat aspect. Kinda forces on you though. On higher difficulty, enemies will cheat blatantly, like gaining twice as more resource than you do - making direct combat very difficult. (I didn't exactly played it, but I know someone who does. But this opinion is based on version without PK.)
