An online shooter taking place during the American Civil War. The game was developed by Campfire Games, for which War of Rights is the debut project. The developers introduced a number of historic campaigns that allow us to choose a side, as well as our duties on the battlefield – we can assume the role of a frontline soldier, or a general who controls the whole battle from the headquarters. The player who chooses the role of a commander stays in the base and makes strategic decisions that have to go through the whole chain of command in real time until they reach the captains of the individual regiments. Frontline commanders can either comply and execute the order, or incite a mutiny and act as they see fit. The battles take place in authentic locations, while soldiers of both Union and Confederacy use the same weapons and wear the same uniforms that were used during the conflict.

Brother against Brother: The Drawing of the Sword
April 16, 2015
Strategy, Multiplayer, PBeM, Singleplayer, Turn-based, American Civil War, 19th Century.
A turn-based strategy game developed by Western Civilization Software. As the title suggests, the game focuses on the American Civil War, during which brothers often had to turn against each other when the Confederate States declared war upon the northern states, devastating the United States of America. The action of this game is set at the initial stages of the American Civil War, allowing players to participate in the events such as the First Battle of Bull Run, the Battle of Wilson's Creek (1861), the Battle of Mill Springs and the Battle of Williamsburg (1862). Apart from the large campaigns, the game delivers a number of smaller scenarios, including the hypothetical ones presenting an alternative course of events. Battles take place on huge maps covering the area of 50 square miles, divided into 75-yard hexagons. A single turn corresponds to 24 hours in real time. Brother against Brother: The Drawing of the Sword builds on realism – regiments have their unique skills that made them famous during the Civil War. Apart from the units’ stats and player’s tactical decisions, the battle is affected by the amount of supplies, changing weather conditions, and the smoke suspended over the battlefield.
Ironclads 2: American Civil War
August 2, 2015
Strategy, Singleplayer, Ships, Turn-based, American Civil War.
The second installment in the series of marine strategy games developed by Totem Games. After a series of spin-offs, the developers decided to return to the series’ roots, setting the action during the American Civil War. The plot of the game evokes a rather obscure episode of the war, the Battle of Mobile Bay. The authors decided to employ a “what-if” scenario, in which Confederacy has successfully reached out to Austrian government in an attempt to strengthen their navy. The deal went through, and the Union forces are met with a formidable enemy. Ironclads 2: American Civil War uses a similar gameplay model to the one found in the Total War series – turn-based planning on a strategic map with real-time clashes supported by an active pause. The game offers challenges such as hunting ships, hiding in ports while awaiting for supplies, blocking trade routes, and open sea battles. As per series’ tradition, the authors have prepared faithful recreations of the ships of the era, including their technical parameters and armament.

The Tide Turns is a highly complex title, characterized by historical consistency. The battles employ real units, while the course of each encounter is influenced by landform or soldiers’ morale.
