Fight on 48 historical maps tracing the events who took place between 1914 and 1918.
Spirit of War: The Great War invites you to take part in battles 2 months apart. Between each of these battles, a summary of the events written and documented by Julien Hervieux, an historian specialized in WWI, is available to the player.
In order to defeat the enemy troops, two possibilities: Capturing the Head Quarter or eliminating all the troops. Each of the player’s units can be moved, healed and swelled to be victorious.
Battles take place on fixed size maps built on hex cases. Each of these cases constitute a different kind of terrain that impacts the advance of the troops in different ways: roads, plains or forests all come with their own bonus or malus.
At the beginning of the game, only a few units are available. These units will grow bigger and bigger while new troops will appear at the same dates they appeared during the actual war.
Two captivating campaigns including 24 maps each are playable.

It's a remake of histline 1914-18. There's games that are spiritual successors, and then there's games like this. It's straight up the same game with different maps. This version is obviously worse, but histline is always good, so I got it.
The graphics do not do the game any favors, and that's the only thing the devs changed. AI is not that great either. I'd say play histline instead. There are no differences in gameplay.
The thing that mildly annoyed me is that the devs seem to be implying that their game is entirely unique in the trailer by using "new" and "indie". Reskinning and re-releasing a game from 1992 does not make it "new" or "indie".
Is this the most bugged game of all time? It could be so good, but the bugs make it almost unplayable - I can't believe it was ever tested thoroughly. Units that were in supply cars before saving a game disappear upon loading again, game becomes unresponsive - so you can't even save your position, sometimes you can't attack an enemy - this prevents you from completing the final mission, I could go on.....
Good strategy war game with all the forces you need.
You can generate forces in your bases if you generate enough cash as the game goes on, but if that gets too easy, you can play the game without generating forces, now you do have a battle on your hands.
Recommend for all ages. I am 75 !!!!!
Very similar to Bluebyte's Historyline 1914-18 The Great War. Would recommend if you were a fan of the original!
It's quite entertaining, but the gameplay isn't quite as good as the Battle Isle original, and the AI needs a real boost to make it more of a challenge.
However the game is seriously let down by a serious bug in the DE campaign that means it cannot be finished after October 1917, the next campaign refuses to complete loading, and there ia a bizarre graphical problem with the October 1917 campaign which copies some of your units into the bottom left had hex, and knocks all your units promotions back to one chevron! There's no way to get rid of all the units stuffed in the corner hex, believe me, I've tried!
It's been reported several times, and the team promised to fix it 3 years ago. A great shame.
The Allied campaign is fine.
Pros:
Easy to pick up and play. If you've played a hex turn-based strategy game before, you'll be right at home. The history texts are interesting to read. 48 scenarios to beat, which kept me busy for many hours.
Cons:
Game is buggy as hell. Sometimes your production list won't work (scrolling). Sometimes levels don't load. You'll have enemy units try to capture a building using their cavalry but it'll get stuck in a walking animation and you'll have to reload your game to continue and hope it doesn't make the same move again. The game can freeze when you capture enemy HQ so save before you do so, just in case. The game also seems unfinished. There should be titles on the buildings when you click on them. If you click on a factory it should say "Factory" and on a "Barn" well...you get the point. There is no text on there, it's strange. The A.I. is very, very weak. Most of the time you can make a straight beeline to their HQ and win. The A.I. doesn't leave a few units back home to defend so it's too easy to use this strategy.
Summary:
Despite the fact that my "cons" side is larger, I still enjoyed my time with Spirit of War and recommened it to strategy fans. Just make sure you get it on sale. The devs don't deserve full price for this because they haven't fixed the level loading bug which would let us finish the German campaign.
initially, the game looked good; even it is almost copy of history line 1914-1918 (in fact i prayed it is a good copy). it has fashion type graphics and principally, the playability is good, challenging and requires a bit of a wit to win in later scenarios. so, why do i quit playing it and do not recommend it? besides lousy unit descriptions (e.g. no range defined for ranged units), it is problematic rules for movement of encircled units (they move too much), imperfect encircling rules generally (there are possible setting which i evaluated as encirclement, but they in fact are not), no apparent terrain rules (except movement points loss) + useless railroads (i have factory connected to rails and i cannot place a newly built train on it). these small imperfections make the otherwise good game unplayable for me.
I loved the original game history line. I was so excited when they brought out this version of the game. the game has alot of bugs but the worst one is that on the german side level 22 won't load. how can they sell a game that you can't even finish. very sad. Steve
This is an interesting game that plays sort-of like a Facebook game with small figures you move and position to try and defeat your enemies... and survive their counterattacks.
Would suggest getting this on discount, but aside from that, it is a decent game.
Not a patch on Historyline. Small maps. Different turn based system. In historyline trench warefare and long attritional battles happened naturally. SOW is fun for a short while and then you realise it isn't getting any more complicated as you progress through the campaign. Too small. Too simple. AI throws itself at you hopelessly getting wiped out and then you walk over and win an empty battle field. Or just make more planes than the AI and you win every time.
Still strangely pleasant.
Game unfortunately crashes too often.
Great game ! I would have loved playing it on my tablet but apparently what is not possible. Anyone who enjoyed/enjoys the good old'e Amiga game "Historyline 1914-18" will also enjoy this game
I enjoyed this game a lot but some people who would rather have a fast-pasted shooting game may not like t as much. This game can be tricky in some levels but if you keep trying new strategies you can persevere. I also like the historical dialog at the start of the game and each level. I would recommend this game to gamers who like strategy and history like myself.
I would absolutely say buy it if its on sale and its worth your money at $9.99
Good game, enjoyed it. Remember me olds Panzer General games. The game AI is not hard enough but enough for fun. 8/10 for a game of this size
Excellent little war game
Easy to learn and full of subtleties, the first maps are relatively easy but the difficulty increases with the variety of units.
For me a good value for money, relatively long game time for cheap price.
Isnt too bad, reminds me off a game i used to play on amiga but its slipped my mind currently, the amiga game was much better tho, this is, perhaps too simple, isnt jaw dropping, isn't shit, is just a game to play when you get bored and want something quick to play
A notable game in that it actually attempts to educate the player with a summary of the main points of World War One, so thats quite fun! learning something while playing... however the gameplay itself is a bit dull and tired, there really is nothing innovative here and its a standard hex battle game lacking polish. Annoying little things like the screen not centering upon unit selection, the maps all looking almost exactly the same in each scenario, the A.I not being particularly smart, and sadly the occasional game crash made me decide to uninstall this and concentrate on other things as time is too precious a resource! This game is okay, its 6/10, but given its price and basic gameplay, there are better hex based strategy games out there.
This is History Line 1914-1918 remade. Which is wonderful.
AI needs some work. Doesn't seem to be using its cash to buy more troops.
But still a great fun game.
This game is really well done. It's sin is the lack of a skirmish mode right on the menu. It could previoulsy reward the player with that sensation of fast satisfaction that us, players of strategy games, have when defeating an AI. After all I believe in the team that made it and that they are going to make it possible in the future. It's a beautiful game, and EVERYONE that's a fan of Advance Wars and its alike games should buy it!! I recommend!
Took a chance on it. I like Miniatures games and this is a mini's game simulation complete with a tabletop.
It's a WWI era turn based combat game, similar to Advance Wars for you younger guys. The intro makes War World 1 history acctually sound interesting, and the game play was pretty easy to understand.
Could use a little QA work. There's some language issues with the tutorial screen. I suspect the devs do not speak english as thier native langauge.
TL;DR: Not bad, worth $10.
