    A great strategy game with a good level of graphics. It was very interesting to play.

    Дуже гарна гра, всім рекомендую. Пам'ятаю, як грав в першу частину дитиною. Ностальгія прям пробирає до кісток.

    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.

    чесно кажучи деякі тупі англомовні європейці мене просто шокують. так, гра важка, але вона на те і стратегія щоби не бути легкою. загалом 10

    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.

    Хорошая и уникальная стратегия для нашего времени, я нигде не видел таких массивных боёв, где тебе также предстоит развивать свой город, экономику и изучать новые технологии. Большое кол-во фракций, разные настройки карт, но есть минус в том, что сердюков так и не пофиксилиХорошая и уникальная стратегия для нашего времени, я нигде не видел таких массивных боёв, где тебе также предстоит развивать свой город, экономику и изучать новые технологии.

    + most of the bugs got fixed
    + challenging missions with the right planning
    + unlike other strategies, your units are using most of the resources to fight (food, gold, coal and iron)
    + a lot of units
    - poor enemy AI

    this game is so awesome, because it is... я бл не знаю как на английском написать, поэтому скажу, что игра интересная, увлекательная, багов нет, графон сойдёт, в конце концов вы же не ожидали уровень графики скажем рдр2, так что вот.

    Excellent RTS game. HD version of Cossacks Back to War. So many buildings, nations, units, research options... Multiplayer is fantastic. Recommended for old rts gamers.

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

    I don’t know why many didn’t like the Cossacks 3. Though the game doesn’t shine with graphics, it takes its atmosphere and combat mechanics. In the absence of other competitors, this is probably the best relatively new game in the strategy genre.

    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).

    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.

    tbh pretty good, i'm super happy that all they did was revamp cossacks 1 , cossacks 2 was a failure. nothing was wrong with the old game. Devs needa learn from this more. "if it ain't broke, just optimise it." Addictive on LAN. Love the Unlimited popcap unlike many other RTS games today. The free form wall building is also fun to build cities.

    Historically unaccurate, ugly graphically, disrespectfully for customers, boring mechanically, outdated conceptually and stupid overall!

    Don't buy it!

    If you like the old cossacks thhis game is the same and is awesome. If you need best graphics for enjoy the games this is not your game. If you like games like cossacks europena wars you will enjoy the game.

    1 No Mans Sky
    2 Mafia 3
    3 Cossacks 3

    this game is really bad, from each point of view, even no point to itemize, the overall quality even worse than in freeware - 0 A.D.

    Cossacks 3 game. Actually, Cossacks 1 a bad remaster.

    Graphics belongs to 2005, gameplay belongs to 1998, overall quality belongs to 310 BC.

    ... I can't recommend this bullsh*t, unless you've spend the last 17 years in stasis.

    Looking for a good strategy game? You are in the wrong place!

    Cossacks 1 + bugs + sudden crashes + outdated visual + false advertising = Cossacks 3

    Low budget bugged poor looking crap from the unperceptive eastern european developer.

    Better play Age of Empires III. In any case AOE III much better choice that THIS and quite same price.

    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.

    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.
