I still remember when I got the game, it was an accident... My friend gave me a demo cd with a bunch of games on it and cossacks: back to war was one of em. I kept play that one demo mission again and again... I think STILL this is the best strategy game of all time, it amazes me how you can control thousands, big cities and navy fleets. And it takes hundreds of hours to finish the game because there is so much missions in it and of course an editor too. And this strategy game is unique because the game mechanics are so different than most of the other strategy games, you dont have to rush for resources, there is always a few mine places around you where you can get the resources from. But it takes a long time to upgrade yourself and meanwhile you have to defend yourself too and thats why almost all of the missions takes 2-3 hours to finish, so this makes you feel like you are in a real hardcore war I think. I had so much epic battles in this game

Great game! The enemy AI is very basic, repeats the same patterns all the time, and your soldiers are absolutely brainless, so you must keep an eye on all of them; But still - absolutely one of my RTS favourites. And thanks to the timeless isometric visualls it's aging gracefully :) Edit: About 100 hours later, I must say - this game is dangerously addicting, one afternoon I just wanted to see if it works on my new pc, and then when I finally lifted my ass from the chair it was already 2pm. On the positive side, it distracted me from my other addictions, so Im pretty much optimisitic about the whole expierience :)

I have been playing this game for probably a decade now. You can choose many modes of playing like the campaign or conquest. You can choose also many countries to play for the conquest mode. You are free to build buildings where you want if you have enough ressources. You can also play online with other real players. The graphisms are actually quiet good and the music is just awesome. I can't get tired off playing this game.

July 2024

I have spent thousands of hours on this game over the past 20 years. with only a small amount of it on Steam itself. No matter where I go, what happens, Cossacks: Back To War will always be there to hold me close and get me through the tough times. Whether you're sending fire archers to destroy a Cathedral, or a Frigate to straight up murder a ferry full of people, it never fails to please the gnawing desire for real time strategy violence. Who needs a modern RTS when it was perfected in 2002 by a group of Ukrainian game developers? Especially when it somehow still works on Windows 11? Buy this game, love it, cherish it, gift it to your friends and loved ones. I will see you all at the Victory stats screen at the end.

June 2024

This game is still brilliant, it's almost like an accelerated simulation of a certain phase of our civilization. The nostalgia hits hard with this one. This game is a must have for anyone who loves great RTS in general.
