Ratings and reviews

Decent game, similar to the Bull Run simulation on Amazon. Lost a star with the multiple crashes when trying to run the tutorial on Android 9. Lost another two stars when I played the first campaign and found the other 9 campaigns are pay to play. TL;DR glitchy tutorial, 2 f2p, 18 p2p, good game play

Gameplay is fun but it's impossible to win. You have to be perfect and even then reinforcing armies come up and just massacre your troops.

VERY unrealistic gameplay, as your troops miss a good 90% of shots they take and the enemy does bayonet charges 90% of the time, but if these were fixed, I would rate 5 star
