Grand Tactician: The Civil War (1861-1865) Reviews

Simply the greatest Civil War game in history. Nothing else is close.

We cannot change the hearts of the people of the South, but we can make war so terrible that they will realize the fact that however brave and gallant and devoted to their country still they are mortal and should exhaust all peaceful remedies before they fly to war.

Respected Sir , Your Game is great and I love to play it. My only wish is can you make a game on Indian Rebellion of 1857 that is also known as First War of Indian Independence against East India Company during 1857.

It's a bit of a learning curve but if you are interested in ACW or history in general I highly recommend!

I want to love this game, truly. It has everything you need, from managing your nation, to command of an army in the field. BUT IT IS BEYOND COMPLICATED, WITH NO TUTORIAL TO SHOW YOU HOW TO PLAY. Its asinine.

I've played a lot of Civil War games over the past 30 years, and this is easily one of the best. So much detail! I love being able to decide which types of weapons to build, purchase, and equip. It's also really cool to have a grand strategy map in addition to being able to fight individual battles (which, I should note, you can auto-resolve if you'd rather focus exclusively on grand strategy). It's well balanced, with both sides facing their own set of challenges and opportunities. You can win while playing with either side, but neither one is too easy. I'm consistently blown away by the attention to detail. It's clear that the developers put in countless hours of diligent work to make this game entertaining, immersive, and historically accurate. Definitely recommend it highly. And thanks to the developers for creating such a masterpiece!

The most comprehensive and enjoyable ACW strategy game ever made.

Great game. It takes time to get good but it is very realistic. Alot to manage but if you like long strategy games, this is a good one.

campaign is pretty good, the readiness system can be extremely frustrating and slow the pace to a crawl though. I can't recommend this after seeing the pathfinding in tactical battles though, other civil war games handle the actual battles way better.

The concept and certain aspects of the game are innovative, interesting and keep me wanting to play. Although the bugs that occur during battles are very annoying, persistent and will lead you to be just angry at the developers of this game. The game has been out for 4 years and I have looked at online forums that are 3 or 4 years old with other players complaining about the same issues that I'm having. So it appears that the developers are not working on fixing the multiple issues with this game, which is a shame because it would be enjoyable if not for the battle simulations being unplayable.
