Civil War: 1863 reviews and comments

Translated by
Microsoft from Italian
The game costs more than usual, but it's a lot of fun, I'd improve the tactic, it would be logical to benefit those who defend themselves behind protective walls. Missing detailed instructions, the tutorial is just enough and does not explain everything. You have to learn by playing... That said, I am not regretting the purchase

It is a very fun game, simple in mechanisms but quite challenging to play. The ability to play against a real opponent greatly increases replayability. The expense is nothing at all excessive. The only regret is that in terms of historical research, different battles could be included. Still Good

Visually pleasing wargame. Attack and defense functions wide enough to allow the implementation of strategies, but not too much to remain simple and not be taken head. Very good to unpack in the subway after work. I look forward to new campaigns! Develop a few more campaigns with naval support please!

I love these Types of Games, easy to learn and after a few Rounds there's also the strategic Touch. What I still lack: Units take over for next Fight and strategic Map. The Predecessor Tank Battle: 1944 also has Class, but does not come up with this Variant. What bothers me a bit is the prices for more cards, currently £0.79

Well done Strategy game! Those who used to like "Civil War Generals" or "Gettysburg" will feel immediately comfortable with "Civil War." Inviting, liquid Graphics and Operation. Has everything Necessary and no Superfluous. I Would like to see iOS games like this. Of course, the Depth and Detail of "Total War" cannot be achieved on an IPad. A top Game that runs stable and provides entertaining Entertainment.

What was looking for the iPad. Wonder that there is no more such Strategy games. Very nicely done. Anyone who has Fun playing at such should definitely buy it, even more so for the Price. From my Point of view, however, there is still a lot of Potential upwards, such as Troop upgrades or a Button for train withdrawal (have unfortunately changed me and since you can't save, you can't load An old Game stand either). Unfortunately, the Game is not particularly extensive. More Campaigns can be re-purchased for this, but this makes the Game more expensive again. That's why only 4 Stars.
