This remake puts a modern spin on the classic 1990 tactical title." www.ign.com “This game is a mix of Age of Empires and the Oregon Trail, but with a heck of a lot more action.” “[…] See for yourself how great this iPhone/iPad game is ! ” www.1greatapp.com “A revival in the truest sense, Bluecoats keeps the best elements of the original, replaces parts that begged for overhaul, and wraps the altered formula in a much prettier package. If I had to choose one version to show off as an example of the true potential of genre mashups, it would undoubtedly be this one.” “If you’re generally a fan of strategy games and have at least a passing interest in action, you’ll find lots to love in Bluecoats’ three-way mashup. The game’s greatest failing is simply that it lets you jump in on normal difficulty — it’s utterly clear that you need to move up the challenge ladder starting from the very bottom.” www.ifanzine.com “For small sessions it does a solid job of making you think on your feet. The iOS version makes far more sense to buy than the PC, and iPad owners will probably get the best out of it. The mini games certainly make for an unusually mixed strategy experience, just make sure not to get too good at the shooting and turn the difficulty up!” www.capsulecomputers.com ___________________________________________ In the colorful strategy game The Bluecoats - North vs South, you play the head of one of the armies of the Civil War. Your aim is to conquer American territory ! This is a remastered version of the game that was released in 1990, with improved graphics and user-friendliness that are up to current standards. ¤ Head up the Yankees or the Confederates, and destroy your enemy! ¤ Taking up positions, capturing states, assaulting and capturing enemy forts, attacking trains and protecting your railroads ... ¤ Capture the port to use the reinforcements coming from Europe. ¤ Protect yourself from storms ¤ Be wary of those Indians in the war and those Mexican bandits ... if you don't, you'll be in trouble! To come out in one piece, you'll have to master taking turns, armed battles in real time, 1 against 30 shoot-outs, and horseback train chases. ___________________________________________ ¤ FOLLOW US ¤MICROIDS:ON TWITTER.COM/MICROIDS_OFFON FACEBOOK.COM/MICROIDSANUMAN INTERACTIVE:ON TWITTER.COM/ANUMANI ON FACEBOOK.COM/ANUMAN.FRON ANUMAN-INTERACTIVE.COMYou have a technical issue?

It was all about blowing up the central bridge with your cannon. Or getting your cavalry to the enemy cannon sharpish for an easy win. Raid a for was good to, bit of knife chucking SpikeGuy Well-Known Member May 8, 2012 532 0 16 #10 SpikeGuy, May 11, 2012 I spent so many hours of this game on the Amiga version. I would only really be interested if it's multiplayer because I'd love to kill my sibling with this again. sizzlakalonji Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze Apr 16, 2009 5,712 1 0 Indiana, USA #11 sizzlakalonji, May 11, 2012 This would be a lot of fun if it wasn't for the near constant crashing on my iPad 2. It's non-jb, newest firmware, and I can't even get halfway through a game before it crashes. This is basically unplayable for me at this point. Real shame.

I'm playing somewhere that doesn't let me access GC. I'm going to try later, and report back once I have access to GC. Gabriel.Voyager Well-Known Member Sep 16, 2009 173 0 0 IT Consultant Turin - Italy #15 Gabriel.Voyager, May 11, 2012 I was always connected, but i see that there is a bug with the achievements BazookaTime Well-Known Member Sep 30, 2009 5,340 1 36 Kansas http://www.paulmcraelind.com #16 BazookaTime, May 11, 2012 Any type of multiplayer? CygnetSeven Well-Known Member Feb 6, 2010 7,596 33 48 #17 CygnetSeven, May 11, 2012 Go in airport mode and try it. If it stops crashing it's probably GC. sizzlakalonji Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze Apr 16, 2009 5,712 1 0 Indiana, USA #18 sizzlakalonji, May 11, 2012 It was indeed a GC issue. Once I got back to wifi, I was able to finish a game. putermcgee Well-Known Member Jun 4, 2010 619 2 18 Seattle #19 putermcgee, May 12, 2012 saw this on appshopper and immediately added it to my watch list. this game was the bomb on the nes (and the arcade...unless that was some other game). I'd just like to see how this one pans out after these reported gc bugs. and now I can't help but wish for this kind of game adapter to japan's eating states period. Falldj Active Member Apr 14, 2011 39 0 0 #20 Falldj, May 12, 2012 There are 2 different versions on the app store. One is $3 and the other is $5. What're the differences?
