We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Strategy players interested in 17th- and 18th-century battles

Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a modern or non-historical setting may bounce off the 17th- and 18th-century focus.
- Players looking for a small-scale game centered on a single campaign may find the five-campaign structure too broad.
- Players seeking role-playing, puzzle, or turn-based squad gameplay will not find those stated formats here.
Our take on Cossacks: Art of War
The bounce point is the historical campaign structure: players who want a different era may disengage as soon as the 17th- and 18th-century setting becomes central. Those seeking a narrower single-campaign experience may also stop at the five-campaign expansion.
