The reviews all seem pretty recent...is this version a new game? And how does it compare to regular version?

Yes it's a new game. The game was released in August 2016. The game play is different from the original. For example the game includes different types of soldiers(Calvary, archers and siege weapons) your army is purchased through a currency system instead of collecting cards and the addition of a supply line which adds a separate strategy to the game play. The attack bs defense has also been modified. It is no longer on a 3 dice system. The battles vary based on different types of army units as well as the amount of Jesé units. For example if you have 4 Calvary units, you roll 4 dice to attack. I highly recommend this game to fans of risk. It is a fresh approach to the classic game and look forward to future civilizations they may add.

How does this compare to castle risk from the mid 80's-early 90's?

I think this is a better game; if for no other reason than Castle Risk actually started as a separate game but they had so much success with Risk that they "jammed" the Risk aspects into the Castle game and while it was ok it was still a jam. This is really a risk plus based in Europe.
