User Reviews

Players praise Civil War: 1863 for its simple, addictive hex-based strategy, ability to play either side, and rich historical flavor with varied scenarios. However, multiple reviews cluster around technical and monetization flaws: updates often wipe or fail to restore purchased content and can push repurchase; bugs such as freezes and missing UI elements undermine play; and balance tendencies sometimes favor the defender. Some content removals also frustrate fans. Overall the concept shines, but persistent update-related issues and stability problems severely dampen the experience.

Pros

Easy to learn and highly addictive hex-based wartime strategy.
Ability to play as either side and a rich historical mode with many scenarios.
Strong tactical depth with lots of scenario variations.
Beautiful graphics and polished, nostalgic presentation.
Reasonably priced with a satisfying classic-wargame feel.

Cons

Updates frequently erase or fail to restore previously purchased content.
Updates remove or force repurchase of content, seen as a revenue grab.
Bugs and glitches after updates cause crashes, freezes, or unplayable states.
Balance issues, notably defender-favored gameplay and inconsistent play balance.
Content removals (e.g., flags) and other changes break immersion and trust.

Recent reviews

With the update I can no longer see or restore scenarios I have paid for.

purchased the full 1863 game. Updates took away access to more than half of what I had purchased. I see many other customers with the same issue yet no response. A legit app would require a nominal fee sometimes with a major update. Hunted Cow Games apparently thinks we should pay full price for what we already purchased for a game that seems basically the same as the earlier version. I suggest we all contact Apple and let them know we’ve been ripped off. sadly, I would give the game five stars if they didn’t attempt a shameless revenue grab.
