Features & Capabilities

Ultimate General: Gettysburg is a tactical wargame that lets you command thousands of soldiers as Union or Confederate generals during the Battle of Gettysburg. It features a unique hand-drawn map, morale mechanics, innovative pause-and-plan controls, and smart AI that challenges you at higher difficulties.

With a 10-mission campaign, the game emphasizes realistic terrain, line of sight, and historically accurate forces and leaders. Units can act autonomously, while you pause to draw orders with drag-to-move controls. The tablet-optimized interface preserves the depth of the PC version for on-the-go play, including Retina display readiness.

User Reviews

Reviews generally praise the game for solid, accessible strategy and a strong Civil War ambiance, with multiple battles offering replayability. However, multiple reviewers cite significant mobile usability problems on iPhone, stagnant development and iOS compatibility issues, and occasional AI/behavior glitches. Players also express a wish for more customization options and content. Overall, it’s a beloved but aging mobile port that could shine with updates addressing UI, AI, and new content.
Pros
  • Solid strategic depth and accessible gameplay that stays true to its Civil War roots.
  • Rich Civil War historical flavor and atmosphere that appeals to history buffs.
Cons
  • Poor mobile UI/readability on iPhone (small fonts, cramped interface, not full screen).
  • Not updated/unsupported on the latest iOS versions (last update many years ago; some reports of incompatibility).
  • AI and unit behavior can be unreliable (firing issues, pathing glitches, inconsistent responses).
  • Limited customization/content options (desire for custom battles, brigades naming, more campaigns).
Recent reviews
Thanks for wasting my money everyone with the good reviews. I suppose it could be a good game but it’s way too small on an iPhone and you can’t zoom in enough. Very frustrating.
