    I can't advise anyone to buy this game. After 15 years nothing changed, except graphics (bull*hit).
    Poor campaning quests, AI in skirmish mode so weak (moves units from his base to yours through direct line)
    So, you want to pay 12$ for distorted nostalgie?

    Only new graphics, just remaster. Old gameplay. Maybe its good for **** but NOT GOOD FOR ANOTHER PEOPLE. go to trashcan.
    Devs, write games for current time, not for 2007. its not classic, its trash.

    Do not be fooled, it is not a stand alone game. More like a remake of the firs Cossaks. I got this game as a present from my girlfriend, but i was very dissappointed. Why? Bellow are pros and cons.

    - Graphics are just not good anymore    … Expand

    It doesn't seem like a good reboot, remake or whatever. It seems like they took Cossacks 1 and made it compatible with newer operating systems adding more resolution options as a bonus. If you are a big fan of Cossacks than this game is a good and easy way to play it once more, but for someone that never played Cossacks and thought this game would be a great way to get to know with theIt doesn't seem like a good reboot, remake or whatever.

    Хороший ремейк. Графика слабая. Мультиплеер интересный наиграл больше 100 часов из-за него. Цена большая для этой игре. Сюжет очень скучный, я чуть не заснул. Музыка так себе, звуки получше первой части и второй, но недотягивает.Хороший ремейк. Графика слабая. Мультиплеер интересный наиграл больше 100 часов из-за него. Цена большая для этой игре.

    I enjoyed Cossacks 2 and played it quite extensively few years back. I mostly turned to Cossacks 3 due to hardware problems with running its prequel. It seems, that apart from graphics, virtually nothing has changed, as some earlier reviews mention, even bugs from part 2 and poor AI (having bought the DLC which was supposed to enhance it).

    It is a reasonable choice for those who miss Cossacks 2 (haven't played first part) or want to try a different kind of RTS, but I would recommend waiting for a sale. I don't think it is worth its market price, especially including DLCs.    … Expand

    Если Вам нравится постоянный спавн юнитов и отправка их в бой, то Вам сюда. Для любителей большей вариативности эта игра вряд ли понравится

    Cossacks 3 is a combination of war, economy, army developing, building and upgrading. This RTS gameplay promises to return old fans in the golden ages of the genre and give newcomers a unique experience.

    I do not recommend starting the series with these games. You can't call this game a remake of Cossacks 1, they just improved the graphics. This game is nothing special. I think the fan will definitely like it, but if you are a new player you will probably be bored. I will hope that this emotional project will show itself.

    Childhood fairy-tale might not return, but some popular games may even in their full glory. Unfortunately, also with issues in the game's unpolished code, dysbalanced units balance and half-breed campaign.

    In my opinion only masochists could possibly enjoy this game with its horrible AI, annoying micromanagement, chaotic battles and absurd difficulty level. [12/2016, p.60]

    An old game that seems proud of it, with an old school real time strategy gameplay that will appeal to fans of the genre and a high difficulty that makes it a title for seasoned users.
