Absolutely NOTHING like UGCW, its a pathetic attempt at replicating the better game. Units do no damage, the noise of gunfire feels like a random dudes first attempt at a game. The AI sucks, and i wouldnt buy if it was $1, it would still feel like a scam. Worst investment, i could barely get out of concord before the problems thrived. My ai troops wouldnt move where i needed, they wouldnt heal, and overall. Feels like a waste of time and money.
i have played this game since it was announced. It is a great game, it is a hard game, it is a complete game. Yes the company closed, but its not abandonware, its not broken. i love this game
Game abandoned mid development, not worth your time or money.
I want to like this game so much more than I actually do - it's so close to greatness but just lands on the wrong side of completely enraging. I think the AV presentation is fantastic - particularly the visuals, it really can look like an 18th century oil painting at times in battles. The music's dreadful though, which is a bit of a shame. The battles themselves are engaging but not particularly deep - it's really just a numbers game in the end (if you're not going up against the redcoats at an approx 2:1 advantage, don't even bother). The real problem is, most of what the game has to offer is locked behind what I found to be a completely frustrating, utterly opaque and overly-ambitious campaign layer. This game clearly had this ambitious scope way beyond its means, was left tragically undercooked, and is absolutely dreadful at telling you how any of the systems operate or interact with one another. It's adequate at telling you [i]how[/i] to do things, but gives little to no indication of why you should, or what to balance, until it's far too late. I even used cheats to give myself essentially infinite money, ammo and guns, just so I could bypass all these systems which I'd tried and repeatedly failed to understand before being completely wiped out on previous campaign restarts. And even then, my campaign was brought to an abrupt and unsatisfying end when I was told my General Washington had "been dismissed". Why? How? I was winning! Why did my reputation suddenly slash by 2/3rds right before I apparently failed? What even is reputation in this game?! Outside of the campaign, you've got historical battles and skirmishes; the former are mostly laughably unbalanced - yes I'm sure by design but, they feel unbalanced to the point of never being playtested - and then the latter simply doesn't function correctly. And the absolute worst part of all of it is it's completely abandoned; all it needed was a little longer in the early access oven. Devastating end to the UG series - this could've really been the jewel in the crown but it's not even a diamond in the rough. It's borderline unplayable
Pretty good game for what it is, the bones are there for something great.
A total downgrade from Ultimate General Civil War and Ultimate Admiral Age of Sail. While the campaign map is an interesting feature up front, it overcomplicates the game with the amount of things you have to balance while also constantly moving armies around. Paired with there being no tutorial other than through videos, it makes learning the game frustrating and more of a trial and error period in the first map in New England.
Like many, I got this game expecting it to be a successor of sorts to the amazing UG ACW. It unfortunately is not. It's an unfinished game, not worth whatever they are charging for it; regardless of how great a sale. Wish I could have my time, including in early access, back. Such a disappointment after how much I love, and still play, ACW.
This is a great game! Worth every penny! Very challenging with formidable AI. I like the historic, economic, War Strategy facets. The economic strategy component presents a challenge no other war game provides. The grand map and battles are very fun! I've won with the USA on Normal and Hard, and GB on Normal thus far. There is always room for improvement, but this is the best of the Ultimate General Games to date. I hope someone picks this up and develops it further. I also look forward to a remake of UGCW in similar format.
Well, it turned out to be his masterpiece. Thanks Darth.
