Ultimate General: Gettysburg Critic Reviews

A refreshingly crisp and astutely focused look at one of the greatest 19th century battles.

I found this to be a very fun and unique take on the genre.

Ultimate General: Gettysburg works surprisingly well as a game, but could use some oomph and chrome, as war is too clinical.

Strategy games aren’t normally on the top of my to-play list, but I liked this game. Ultimate General: Gettysburg does a great job of being simple enough for anyone to learn in a short sitting, but deep enough to keep you learning and perfecting your tactics deep into subsequent playthroughs.

A real-time strategy game more for the armchair general than the real-time strategy gamer.

Ultimate General: Gettysburg is a prêt-à-porter RTS, very easy to pick up but difficult to master and quite varied despite the apparent monotony of the single setting available. The tablet derivative movement system is a major flaw, but for 12 euros on Steam, you can live with it and smell musket powder for months.

Perfect strategy, suitable either for demanding old school turn-based strategy lovers, or for RTS fans spoiled by the user-friendly controls. A bit limited selection of scenarios and not-so-good artillery controlling are the only flaws spoiling the great game.

Even though Ultimate General: Gettysburg offers just one historical event, there is enough variety to make your next play-through different than the previous one.
