If you love strategy games on the iPad, do I have a deal for you. Ultimate General: Gettysburg ($3.99), the real time strategy game by Game Labs, is now $3.99, down from $7.99. The game is in soft-launch currently, but the U.S. is one of the soft-launch territories, so many of you should be able to get it. If you haven’t heard of the game, which is a crime if you enjoy wargames even a bit, Ultimate General was originally developed for the PC and later ported to the iPad.
In the game, you can play as either side of the Civil War during the defining battle of Gettysburg in a series of 10 missions for each side and at two difficulty levels. Even though the iPad version lacks the multiplayer mode and the dynamic campaign from the PC version, the game is still a joy to play and is probably one of the prettiest wargames on the tablet right now (I often use this game to demonstrate my iPad’s capabilities to non-gamers).
So, if you are into wargames, you should definitely get this game even if nineteenth-century warfare isn’t really your thing.
Though unfortunate, I agree with all aspects of this review. I was very excited to give this a crack when I saw it in the upcoming forums but was terribly disappointed within a couple hours of playing.
Linear gameplay, broken English, poor graphics and... Yeah... Everything that Shaun said is brutally spot on.
The highlight of this game is Shaun's review as it referenced my hometown ( :
I agree with everytjing here... I might have given even less than 2 stars... Lol.
This game is seriously terrible.
Wish i would hack some apps before buying, to not regret wasting like this :/
Too bad. I got excited in the forums and bought as well. Looked so promising, assumed it would be insta-buy. Oh well, back to Pike and Shot.
Thanks for the warning! I thought it looked promising. But I've got so much I'm playing atm anyway.
