Ratings and reviews

The game is fun, but it freezes a lot during the opponent's turn. It's annoying because I have to close it and restart it, then resume game to keep playing. It usually does this a few times per game. If it wasn't for this, I would have no complaints. All of the hexgames I have installed do this. It's unfortunate and hopefully this can be fixed.

Excellent game, smooth mechanics, enjoyable yet easy to use with a fun level of challenge I was looking for. The reason why I did not give it four or five stars though is you have to pay to play anymore than the first campaign. I understand the need to have some content for sale, but disappointed I couldn't play one or two more for free. 🤷‍♂️

I don't really like how every "campaign" so to speak, is $2.99. Then again, each Hex Games civil war game is $10 (I think) on steam. But for a mobile app it's amazing, I'm a big fan of the board games Civil War: 1862 is based off of. I just really wish you didn't have to pay for every "campaign" or whatever it is.
