It’s been a long time coming. A lot of waiting… and then some. I remember buying the first Cossacks for no reason really, the back of the box looked cool to me, and that was it. The rest is history. Cossacks was always a solid RTS game to play, and always fun to play online, despite my obvious suckage at it due to getting the game later than anyone else. No matter, I got Cossacks II before anyone else, and while the veterans are still outgunning me, I’m able to hold my own a lot better this time around.
Cossacks II enters a genre of war games that not nearly enough people are willing to enter. I think somewhere out there in the world people desire to fight the battles of the 19th century. These battles shaped our world as we know it today, and are among the most important wars in the history of the world, and yet very few games are willing to tackle the time period. Rather, they tackle World War II, and lately Vietnam has been attempted, but failed. Cossacks II is one of the few games, if not the only game available to you right now with combat in the 19th century. So if that’s what you’re looking for, well you need not look any further than this one…
