Cossacks in America
Right, so after GSC tried their best to please West/Europe with their very Slavic RTS game
They tried to do that again but now to please even more Western groups
Some things never change...but it kinda worked, people still love this game. Some like it because of nostalgia, others for kinda unique setting. And also gameplay
Dated 2D with technical problems
Playing this on modern systems is rough. You need to find some render patches or else the game can be laggy...or in reverse - super speedy.
And even with patches - it still has a lot of problems. Its playable but yeah, keep this in mind.
For the visuals, everything is 2D, units, buildings, props. Its 2003 everybody and I think Generals already came out and also Warcraft 3 dominated and Im pretty sure most RTS games were already 3D by this point so yeah.
No matter how nice or realistic you look - you're still dated and jank.
Gutted Cossacks and Kinda Historical events
Just like in Cossacks, 6 resources to gather, you build a base, train armies and try to attack
There are less nations (like a half of them are europeans or american colonists and other half - Indians who are gonna be your worst nightmare - and yes, they play mostly identically)
Less artillery, cavalry is weird, your best bet are shooting footmen for Normal Nations and Zerg Rush Tactic for Indians (Since they can burn buildings and Euro nations can capture them and stay inside whilst shooting)
Upgrades are dumbed down and kinda boring, ships...I dont even remember them so yeah.
Also, they added kinda weird moral system - basically, if you're troops kill a lot and winning - enemy troops start running all around the map whilst screaming and abandoning their squads.
Also shooting is done from scratch - so its way less effective than in cossacks (on long range) but holy moly try to blast indians up close - mein gott.
For the story campaigns - historic events like:
Columbus campaign
Indian butchery as conquistadors
7 Years War (both sides)
Indian butchery as USA (both sides actually)
independence war (both sides)
Also single missions, skirmish and online story battles and such
Missions overall are mostly alright, mostly quite easy and sometimes boring and I dont think I had any problems with glitches. Storytelling is done through walls of texts (just like I do reviews) so It also can be quite boring.
Other Features
Music is fine, you have themes for each nation, here's an example
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nMznRCt2ZM&list=PLE3636E2AAE5F5E55&index=7
As I've said earlier, there are several nations that plays identical. Some just have unique units, others dont and so on.
Playing as Euros is pain, because how slow they train and how costly they are. But in the late game - its homicide time
As Indians - guilty pleasure, you can feel this dumb barbaric force that can topple castles by stupid brute force and sheer numbers.
Still, both sides can feel very tedious and repetative. After I've beaten each mission - I felt burnt out completely. Just too much of doing the same over and over.
The maps design is quite good, but after like 4 or 5 missions you'll stop looking at details.
Still....its a negative
Yeah, the game is kinda fun once you learn it
But it lacks in variety, missions sometimes feel the same
And of course, just making it work properly - is something I've always hated in old games.
If you like this game - power to you and have a nice day. But if you've never played...think twice before buying this.
