## Most critical reviews (5 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2017-11-03*

Game claims to offer 18 maps, lots of scenarios 

In fact there are 3 maps, what there is is ok but you’ve finished with it after one day

Waste of money in my opinion

### 2/5 — Other games are better

*2016-12-22*

You basically have two armies standing across from each other and despite their elaborate descrption of strategy of each battle the largest army wins no matter what strategy you try to employ.

### 3/5 — Not Bad but Some Missed Opportunities

*2021-09-22*

While I did have fun with the game itself, I felt there were many missed opportunities regarding scenarios and and certain factions. I found the Egyptian battles quite fun and unique compared to the usual Macedonian and Roman scenarios. I’d honestly be interested in seeing an Ancient Battles game set exclusively in Biblical times (Like, Babylonia and Ancient Egypt, just as examples). 

Overall though not bad.

### 3/5 — Always one step from greatness.

*2017-08-31*

I tried the Cannae battle and had some good fun with it. Usual Hexwar Ancients issues - no real unit facing rules and the maps "just fit" the units on the field.

Hexwar guys - I realize that you're stuck on unit facing rules etc until you go to the C&C Ancients engine - but until then - can you please make your maps with room to maneuver on the flanks?

Fans would be a lot happier to employ maneuver rather than throwing armies directly at each other.  Thanks

### 3/5 — Somewhat Disappointed

*2016-04-30*

Don't know what I was thinking. A traditional computerized board game. Charging anything more than $3-4 is over priced in my opinion. Nothing novel or progressive here though seems competently done.
