About This Game

Spirit of War: The Great War is a turn-based strategy game set during World War I. Lead troups of the Triple Entente or Triple Alliance army and relive World War I greatest battles. Drawing inspiration from board games classics, Spirit of War: The Great War offers a unique arcade/strategy gameplay.

Fight on 48 historical maps tracing the events who took place between 1914 and 1918.

Spirit of War: The Great War invites you to take part in battles 2 months apart. Between each of these battles, a summary of the events written and documented by Julien Hervieux, an historian specialized in WWI, is available to the player.

In order to defeat the enemy troops, two possibilities: Capturing the Head Quarter or eliminating all the troops. Each of the player’s units can be moved, healed and swelled to be victorious.

Battles take place on fixed size maps built on hex cases. Each of these cases constitute a different kind of terrain that impacts the advance of the troops in different ways: roads, plains or forests all come with their own bonus or malus.

At the beginning of the game, only a few units are available. These units will grow bigger and bigger while new troops will appear at the same dates they appeared during the actual war.
Two captivating campaigns including 24 maps each are playable.

Took a chance on it. I like Miniatures games and this is a mini's game simulation complete with a tabletop. It's a WWI era turn based combat game, similar to Advance Wars for you younger guys. The intro makes War World 1 history acctually sound interesting, and the game play was pretty easy to understand. Could use a little QA work. There's some language issues with the tutorial screen. I suspect the devs do not speak english as thier native langauge. TL;DR: Not bad, worth $10.

A notable game in that it actually attempts to educate the player with a summary of the main points of World War One, so thats quite fun! learning something while playing... however the gameplay itself is a bit dull and tired, there really is nothing innovative here and its a standard hex battle game lacking polish. Annoying little things like the screen not centering upon unit selection, the maps all looking almost exactly the same in each scenario, the A.I not being particularly smart, and sadly the occasional game crash made me decide to uninstall this and concentrate on other things as time is too precious a resource! This game is okay, its 6/10, but given its price and basic gameplay, there are better hex based strategy games out there.

This is History Line 1914-1918 remade. Which is wonderful. AI needs some work. Doesn't seem to be using its cash to buy more troops. But still a great fun game.

[h1] Excellent little war game[/h1] Easy to learn and full of subtleties, the first maps are relatively easy but the difficulty increases with the variety of units. For me a good value for money, relatively long game time for cheap price.

Good game, enjoyed it. Remember me olds Panzer General games. The game AI is not hard enough but enough for fun. 8/10 for a game of this size

This game is really well done. It's sin is the lack of a skirmish mode right on the menu. It could previoulsy reward the player with that sensation of fast satisfaction that us, players of strategy games, have when defeating an AI. After all I believe in the team that made it and that they are going to make it possible in the future. It's a beautiful game, and EVERYONE that's a fan of Advance Wars and its alike games should buy it!! I recommend!

Isnt too bad, reminds me off a game i used to play on amiga but its slipped my mind currently, the amiga game was much better tho, this is, perhaps too simple, isnt jaw dropping, isn't shit, is just a game to play when you get bored and want something quick to play

I loved the original game history line. I was so excited when they brought out this version of the game. the game has alot of bugs but the worst one is that on the german side level 22 won't load. how can they sell a game that you can't even finish. very sad. Steve

I enjoyed this game a lot but some people who would rather have a fast-pasted shooting game may not like t as much. This game can be tricky in some levels but if you keep trying new strategies you can persevere. I also like the historical dialog at the start of the game and each level. I would recommend this game to gamers who like strategy and history like myself. I would absolutely say buy it if its on sale and its worth your money at $9.99

Is this the most bugged game of all time? It could be so good, but the bugs make it almost unplayable - I can't believe it was ever tested thoroughly. Units that were in supply cars before saving a game disappear upon loading again, game becomes unresponsive - so you can't even save your position, sometimes you can't attack an enemy - this prevents you from completing the final mission, I could go on.....
