War of Rights

Gameplay is undeniable refined. Although it heavily leans on its player base. Which has been impacted by negative connotations (racism) surrounding one of the factions in the game confederates.

In my experience playing the game (204 hours thus far), I have not encounter any more or less racism than what I would experience in other multiplayer games (such as the major titles, COD, etc). And from what I have seen, the admins and community do not tolerate it.

If you are purchasing this game outside of the US, be wary of timezones. As the Server population fluctuates (from 300 - 0 pop in a few hours) limiting mass multiplayer events for people who are unable to conform to certain time zones.

The majority of the player base is made up of role players, history nerds, and strategists. Being one of those game that is easy to learn, but hard to master. Rewarding team cooperation over traditional fps run and gun tactics.

Be ready for banter and diverse people, memes, pure chaos and goofy moments.

I would highly recommend this game.

Alright, buckle up, soldier, because War of Rights is here, and it’s like if someone took your grandpa’s history lessons, made them way more intense, and then forced you to relive them while being shot at by a guy in a funny hat. Welcome to the Civil War… but with more running and less strategy.

Graphics:
This game looks like someone actually cared about getting the uniforms just right. It's like a history book came to life and said, “Let’s make these cannons look way too real, and let’s also throw in some really sad-looking horses for good measure.” If you’ve ever wanted to walk through an authentic battlefield where the dirt looks real, the trees are all meticulously placed, and the sheer number of buttons on your uniform will make you question your life choices, this is the game for you.

Gameplay:
Picture this: you’re standing in a line of soldiers, wearing a uniform that weighs more than your hopes and dreams, staring at the enemy, wondering if you’ll survive the next 30 seconds. Spoiler alert: you won’t. War of Rights is all about tactics, teamwork, and… dying. A lot. You’ll spend more time running across open fields yelling “FOR THE UNION!” than you will actually shooting your enemies. But when you do get a shot off, it’s like winning the lottery, except instead of money, you get the satisfaction of maybe hitting someone in the leg and making them fall down dramatically.

Combat:
Ah yes, combat. You’ll spend half your life trying to reload your musket, and the other half wondering if you’re even holding it correctly. The reload animation takes about as long as an old-timey soap opera, so you’ll have plenty of time to reflect on your life choices while your character fumbles with gunpowder and a ball. And let’s talk about the sound of firing a musket: it’s like BOOM, and then, for a moment, you question whether you’ve just witnessed a small earthquake. It’s the audio equivalent of a slap to the face followed by an existential crisis.

The Community:
This game has the most dedicated Civil War reenactors you’ll ever meet. Some people are so hardcore, they probably sleep in their uniforms and wake up shouting “Charge!” There are moments where you’ll be charging the enemy in perfect formation, only to have someone scream at you to "get into line, damn it" because apparently, you’ve violated some sacred musket-wielding rule. Honestly, I’ve never felt so disrespected and simultaneously proud of my new “civil war cosplay” friends.

The Strategy:
If you’re someone who enjoys a good game of chess, War of Rights will have you feeling like you’re living in a very slow-motion version of chess, where you can’t even see the opponent’s pieces, and everyone is constantly moving and screaming. You’ll spend more time organizing formations than actually getting into combat. And when you finally do face the enemy, you’ll remember: “Oh right, I’m still holding a musket from 1863, not an assault rifle from Call of Duty.”

Final Verdict:
War of Rights is like if the Civil War was a game, except no one really wins, and the "fun" parts are mostly dying in large groups. It’s a brutal experience that will make you think, “Why am I doing this?” at least 50 times per session. But if you’re into a history lesson that comes with way too much blood, crying horses, and misfiring muskets, then sign up for War of Rights.

10/10 would die in formation again.

great game and if you dont get recruited in the first two weeks of playing then you dont play enough

every single server has fatass woke cunts that read like Michael Obama, Kamala DEI, and the entire democratic party

Very realistic. I recommend joining a regiment within the community to further enhance your immersion.

very very fun game small but dedicated player base. Mostly due to being a more niche time period and conflict. very vibrant and fun community overall and a great game

Realy good game but can be racist and judge where your from

learned more about american history playing this game then i did in school.

This is the best military game I've ever played. I've played titles like Arma, Squad, and Ground Branch before, nothing compares to this. This game rewards following orders, playing as a team, and is powered by an awesome community. The feeling of playing in a 350-500 player server is completely unique in gaming.

Want to be a regular soldier, ready to be sacrificed at the whims of your commander? This is your game.
Want to operate artillery and dictate the outcome of an engagement with accurate fire and coordination with commanders? This is your game.
Want to lead a company of loyal soldiers into brutal battles? This is your game.
Want to break the enemy line with a bayonet charge? This is your game.

Great community, immersive graphics and gameplay, and few if any bugs - remarkable for an early access, niche title like this. I am instantly hooked, and am looking forward to seeing the road ahead for this exciting title. Would recommend if you are interested in the Civil War period, or in 19th century infantry tactics.

V FOR VIOLENCE!

DAYS NEVER FINISHED, MASTER GOT ME WORKING. SOMEDAY MASTER SET ME FREE

To preface my review I want you to understand I have 1777 hrs. Not only that, but I am VERY active in the WOR community and I frequently talk to the devs. I have helped develop and create 2 regiments for this game. I am also very aware of the games mechanics and design. Along with my hours I am a very frequent player of this game. Now that my credibility has been wrote out I will get to the review part for ya!

This game was born out of passion. The developers truly respect the history of the US Civil War. If you are looking for another fun shooting game to play with a team, or you just want to see another war from the past this game is a must buy. The dev team Campfire Games continuously update the game to improve every aspect of what it has to offer. The devs also are very socially active with the community. On the WOR(War of Rights} discord server they allow you to write to them bug reports and create suggestion forums for them to read and review. They DO actually read them and they always try to give feedback to good suggestions. If you want a game that is truly created for YOU the player I without a doubt in my mind suggest you play War of Rights. It is worth its price tag. (tbh its price should be higher} Hopefully you find this review helpful and I implore you to review the latest YouTube videos and give this game a shot!

Steps for fun in WoR
1: Buy game
2: Go to 10thus.org
3: Join the Discord
4: Have fun and kick fat slaver ass

AS the game progressed I noticed that only long time player get to play ranking officers they block other players from playing those even if you unlock or are good at it. Also admin in servers favor certian players and allow them to kill lower level players and do nothing but ban the guys that complian or take matters into there own hands. Player named RONDO has purposely teamkilled low level players once in each game for fun and has been cuaght making fun of a player with downsyndrome and team killing him and admin lets him and bans people for speaking up. Do Not Buy this game.....

This game definitely isn't for everyone. By god its definitely for me.
This game is very team based, and the community is really decent around it. I joined a regiment, and if you think you might want this game i'd recommend that. pubs are a fun mashup but organized events are completely different.

nothing like it exists elsewhere for the realism and scale of civil war battle

Game is full of trolls. racists, and incels. Not only is the community shitty, but the gameplay is dull and the controls are clunky. After an hour I felt like I was owed monetary compensation for how shitty that experience was. Classic example of the never ending "early access" dog shit that games do these days.

Unique game mechanics make this one great. Community is good, unless you have a problem with some good ole boys.

Probably best American Civil War game released so far, realistic, with great community and devs listening to players.

Shitty game, too slow, unrealistically slow. If you were 80 years old with one leg and one arm I would understand. But no way someone would be this slow in a battle. Imagine IRL being slow, this is 200% slower than IRL at everything. From running, walking, jumping a small fence to aiming, firing, everything. Every movement your arms and legs do is so slow it takes all the fun out of it.

Dead game, hasn't been a good or substantial update in forever... what fucking failures.

War of Rights is an excellent game that includes great battles and strategy. I hope it moves forward to include more if not all of the battles waged during the Civil War. I would recommend this to anyone.

At this point, I don't even care about the game's content.

Why in the good God damn does this game, every single time I play it, make it so that any time I ALT+TAB, or any time I die, or any time I access a menu, I can't click on any damn thing? What the fuck is wrong with this game? Nothing I do fixes it!

How in the hell do you have a game that is out for this long with such shitty ass glitches like this? It is so infuriating! This is "back alleys of Hyderabad, drinking shit water straight out of the Ganges without filtering or boiling, bobs and vagene" level programming.

Seven. YEARS. You've had this game out.

I really wanted to like this game, but I can't recommend it. You spend most of the time not doing anything. You fire one volley, then everyone runs away while you are reloading and you die. Or you wait 70 seconds spawn in, load your weapon, everyone runs away, and then you die from a enemy charge, wait 70 seconds to spawn in, repeat. Don't even get me started on the team killing. Cool concept of a game, a lot of people love it, but this just isn't fun for me.

Mechanics need polishing, ie. not being able to break or cancel the bayonet animation, and it is painful to rank up. I played most of my time before ranks were added and it has taken many games just to get to lvl 5. The player base is fairly obnoxious too, I get its a mil-sim but being a condescending ass to people who don't have the same experience as someone with 100+ hours is 30% of the comms in this game. If your looking for a civil war mil-sim this is the best one out there for sure but I don't recommend it until they make ranking up easier or more enjoyable or until the community becomes more tolerable.

It is genuinely hard to not enjoy this game. Beautiful graphics and rather simple shooting and melee mechanics make it simple to learn but tough to master. If you are into the line battle games with purely chaotic and sometimes overwhelming with explosions and gunfire.. pick this game up and come join the fight.

Best Game.

Love this game, hope they add more type of guns and maybe a gatling gun for the arty squad

Will recommnend this game 500 %

If you like team play and American Civil War history this is the game for you. With all of the period accurate units and weaponry, you'll feel like you've traveled into the past and be fighting to save the Union or stand up for your states rights as a Confederate. What I personally like about War of Rights, is you only gain experience through team play being in formation, skirmishing, and out of line. You wont see how many kills you have gotten and you must work your way up through the levels to make rank. So all in all I love it and enjoy War of Rights.

this game is absolutely a must have! the devs did a great one with this one !!! plus all the updates on the way the game will continue to grow!

Amazing game.
However, public matches aren't as great. I do highly recommend joining a regiment, as you will then be able to participate in massive, organized, private battles. Definitely look to join one, such as 1stMD :)
Fun, chaotic game when you have an organized group such as through regiments.

I absolutely love this game, the community is really stinkin fun and funny the gameplay is awesome and exciting, and it has taught me more about the american civil war.

10/10 Game

Game is pretty fun when servers have around 150+ players. There are some absolute dumb asses in the game, but you can identify them easily by the amount of downvotes they have. Most of them are just kids seeking attention or just mentally retarded, the community just ignores them or just straight up tks them.

Definitely a social game just based on how much communication matters and to keep people invested. Devs still need to add quite a few QoL features, but the dev team is pretty small. Definitely worth a pick up on a sale, might not be worth full price for some as the game will probably be in EA for a very, very long time. Devs actually play the game and check things out though.

9/10 game. just wish there was more players on. The dev team and the"actually" community is super great and helpful. just know when you join the CSA in a public lobby you are going be in for a treat. if you are wanting to play the game just ask for help from your team and that the game is usually has more players on at 7 or 8PM-12 eastern time and weekends

If you love Holdfast or Isonzo, you'll enjoy this. Plenty of regiments doing re-enactment style drills, as well as plenty of zany roleplayers whipping out accents and period parlance to make each session a hilarious blast.

The immersion is outstanding the graphics are also outstanding the roles are great and the maps that resemble actually battles is also great so most defiantly suggest this game

A lot of these so called "realistic" games often leave fun to a handful of seconds each map and become walking simulators.
War of Rights does a great job of keeping this to an absolute minimum. The map size is great for this type of gameplay and doesn't make you run around for half an hour to get somewhere useful.
And the game is REALLY easy to get into. just watch a tutorial and see how the aiming and stamina works and you're basically good to go. Even without knowing the orders like "about face" or so most of these commands are really simple and it's very easy to get a unit of random people to fight as a team. The flag-bearer mechanic is also the best respawn location mechanic I've seen so far in a shooter. It really improves teamplay when somebody has to go out of their way to pick up the flag to let the team respawn.

I've not seen it done this easily in any other shooter.

But the downright best part of the game is the community. I just bought the game. I didn't know what buck and ball was or how to affix my bayonet. But the ingame officer corps - and dare I say NCO corps even more so makes this game what it is. You can instantly tell how good this round is gonna be when you hear an NCO repeat his officers orders to you 24 times and everybody falls in line.

Very good format. User-friendly gameplay and also very historically accurate. Seems like the closest I can come to going back in time and actually fighting in the Civil War myself.

the game does appear to be historically accurate and fun

Immersive civil war game. Plenty of fun banter and camaraderie on both sides. Tactics have shifted in the past year from boring generals playing cautiously to fun generals prioritizing charges (the absolute best part of the game). Very unique community on each side and plenty of very experienced players (especially in the artillery). Still very welcoming to new players

DO NOT BUY. Have you ever been new to a shooter that has team killing in it? Have you ever accidentally killed a few allies by mistake in a game with servers over 300 players as a new player? Well I got news for you. There is only one active server in this game. It typically has 180-280ish players on it. If you team killed 3 people in say, a two hour time span, you will be banned from the only active server for 6 hours and not longer able to play the game for the rest of the day. If you do it again, it doubles the time banned. STAY AWAY!

Very realistic and unique game, love the community and everything about the game by far my favourite game of all time

I wanted to like this game and gave it several chances, but I can't recommend it. My main problem is you spend most of the time not doing anything. You fire one volley, then everyone run away while you are reloading. It makes me just want to tk the company commander and leave. The moral system just gets in the way of playing the game. The second a melee breaks out, your screen is black and white and the teamkills begin.

just simply put its fun and the details are great

Such a unique game. No other game has capture the reality of war quite like this, especially with this time period in mind. Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!

Very Recommended, very social, nice lads, sometimes blatant racism (normally roleplay joking), and overall fun on either side, winning or losing. 9.5/10

The game has great potential, the actual game concept is fun and immersive. Sadly, the player base is not quite large enough, every time I play there is the same weirdo in-game RPing while shouting southern slurs.

There is one server that everyone joins, with even that server being left half-full most of the time. Would I pay 24,99 again? Probably not. This time it's a thumbs down...

Flipped a cannon, then stole the Confederate artillery. Peak gameplay.

This is lowkey the best powder game on the market.

PROS
- Unmatched atmosphere. Lighting, sounds and smoke are flawless.
- Great multiplayer experience. Under the right guide, a company can be lethal.
- Potential endless replayability.
- Hilarious voice chat moments with people spamming the Imperial March during a deployment.

CONS
- Very few players nowadays, it's a niche title
- Blatant racism is part of the CSA gameplay
- Slow on updates

Fun game but completely abandoned by the incompetent devs. Terrible performance and awkward controls.

This game is so cool! If your looking for a game where there is a chain of command, epic line battles where gargantuan volleys are fired, charges where everyone is screaming down their mics and dying, this it it, Buy it!

no other game in this style comes close to the level of quality this game has. very, very fun. great community albeit a bit much at times.
