Choose Your Side And Take To The Board In Battlefields Civil War
Battlefields Civil War, a new board game application, provides iOS gamers with a turn-based strategy gaming experience for the iPad that’s centered around the events of the U.S. Civil War. Gamers can choose their side – Union or Confederate – and engage in six historic battles across a number of different locations.
You can pick up Battlefields Civil War for $3.99, and it’s optimized for the iPad (and iPad mini) only. It is, however, designed specifically for Apple’s iOS, publisher The Bitstreamers explains in the app’s release notes, and this means that both graphics and controls should look and feel great in the application.
After iOS gamers have chosen their side, the six battles available in the game are The Battle of Bull Run, Brandy Station, Chickamauga, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, and Shiloh. Here’s a complete list of Battlefields Civil War’s features, as outlined by The Bitstreamers:
- Play against online opponents through Game Center (turn based two player game)
- Pass and play (2 players) or vs. computer AI (1 player)
- Historic unit names (on/off)
- Fog of War (on/off)
- A choice between numerical based and textual based gameplay
- 3 zoomlevels - strategic/tactical/operational
- In-game statistics
- Tutorial, instructions and in-game help
- Upload high scores to Game Center Leaderboard
- Save game/resume
- Retina optimized in-game graphics
