    Cossacks 3 is a good RTS with a lot of addictive features. It's historically correct, the background music is excellent and it simply is an amazing game without adding too many distractions.

    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.

    Cossacks 3 is the comeback of GSC Game World and brings back the player at the time of the old RTS, but the AI has some serious problems.

    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.

    Cossacks 3 has a lot of good ideas but the AI has some serious problems that ruin the experience.

    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]

    Yes, it's finally here. Released too quick and some start up bugs? Who cares, it's here, and GSC is right on top of things, fixing them bugsYes, it's finally here. Released too quick and some start up bugs? Who cares, it's here, and GSC is right on top of things, fixing them bugs and listening to their fans. This remake looks better yet feels the same, it could have used some more speed, but that's only noticeable during "Peace Time". You can Attack straight away, or use this P.T. to build a massive economy and massive force and fight a battle that can last for hours, blasting away at 3000-4000 enemy units with carefully handled Cannons. There is no other game out there where you can feel that much like an army commander and in control. If your battles are short, then you just haven't found your match. NO, not a "no artillery" game where you both just camp on a hill with your gunners, but skillful positioning and use of Cannons to take that hill, climb over it, and close in on the enemy's base.… 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 systemsIt 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 the series I won't recommend it.… Expand

    Terrible, terrible optimisation for that pretty bad graphic (worst than 8-years old Red Alert 3). Bad AI compare to ANY Total war game. ITerrible, terrible optimisation for that pretty bad graphic (worst than 8-years old Red Alert 3). Bad AI compare to ANY Total war game. I recommend that game only if you want some nostalgic feelings if you play Cossacks 2 back in the 2005. IgorDyx said that it's a remake, but it's not. And Starcraft 2 compare to Starcraft made a big leap not only in a graphics but in a gameplay and story. And that guy also give the Thief 2014 8/10 so it's must something wrong with his sense of reality.… Expand
