### 3/5 — Hundred Years was better

*2021-11-17*

This game isn’t bad, but it’s not as unique as the other medieval titles. It’s more like a glorified game of chess, as both sides use the same units an tend to have similar combat strength. I found much of the 100 years war to be intriguing on account of the different strengths France and England have. Here though, not much to say. 

Still a solid game, but doesn’t feel as interesting as the other titles you’ve made so far.

### 3/5 — Wars of The Roses

*2019-08-22*

Great game...until you get to Bosworth!
Won over the Stanley Family, totally destroyed Richmond’s army (none of the left) and it won’t end the battle with a registered win. Is there a bug that needs updating?

### 5/5 — Love the history and the simplicity

*2018-09-08*

Really enjoying the game.

### 4/5 — Great

*2015-12-28*

Excellent strategy game and very historically accurate with both the scenarios and units. Definitely a good series to learn about if going for a History major. Might I just point out some minor spelling errors such as "Men at Arns".  Great work HexWar 👍🏻

### 5/5 — Another great wargame from Hexwar!

*2015-07-27*

Really enjoying this one. I like the wide variance in capabilities of the different units.

### 4/5 — App crashes

*2015-07-12*

During fighting flight as a yorkist the game crashes the instant a farm is captured. Great game up to that point.

### 4/5 — Upgrade

*2015-07-10*

I applaud Hexwar for their numerous historical games but I feel they need an upgrade soon, graphically and sound effects.....the horse 'whinny' is irritating!
