With God’s help, fight for the glory of Svea Rike!
The king, Carolus XI is dead, the royal castle is in ashes and the people of Sweden are starving to death in the harsh winter. With bloodshed, the enemies of Sweden are now concluding an attack alliance. Russia, Denmark and Saxony-Poland are waiting to attack the Swedish borders. The new fifteen-year-old King, Carolus XII stands alone with the fate of the kingdom in his hands.
In Great Battles of Carolus XII, the player will experience battles such as:
- The Battle of Pühhajoggi 1700
- The Battle of Narva 1700
- The Battle of Gemauerthof 1705
- The Battle of Fraustadt 1706
- The Siege of Veprik 1709
Each battle lasts about 30-60 minutes. The player gets to command the Swedish army. The infantry, cavalry and artillery of the army deal different amounts of damage to each other:
- An artillery volley will be effective against infantry, pikemen and cavalry because of their tight formations. However, artillery won’t deal much damage against other artillery because they are much harder to hit than tightly packed formations of men.
- An infantry volley will be less effective against an artillery unit. It will only deal 50% of its actual firepower because of the less tight artillery formations.
- A bayonet charge will be effective against infantry and artillery but will only deal a third of its damage against cavalry or pikemen. Note that the "bayonet charge" ability also has a cooldown and cannot be used every round.
- A cavalry charge will be effective against all units except for pikemen. Cavalry can only deal 75% of their damage against pikemen.
- A pike charge will be very effective against infantry and quite effective against artillery and other pikemen. A pike charge will be less effective against cavalry because it is a very mobile unit.
There are more great battles coming in future updates!

Very nice artistic style. The historical map is a masterpiece.
Also the scope of the game is very nice.
But you really should add at least a small manual and PLEASE stop the camera from
jumping from unit to unit as it is fatiguing and annoying, especially during the enemy turn.
Really looking forward to the completion of this title.

PROS
+ simple graphics
+ easy to learn, hard to master
+ price
+ easy concept, for me better than Great Battles
CONS
- no settings (music disable, resolution settings, nothing)
- no save function - if you have no more time or game crash you have no chance to continue battle
- no minimap
- only a little content
- no army builder
- no "undo movement" button
- no "next unit" button
- infantry and grenadiers looks the same
BUG
* after winning battle "Continue" button does not work
Conclusion 6/10. It is fun for 5 Euro, but missing some basic functions.
Editor will be awesome!

A gorgeous, stylized wargame that was apparently made with heart and love for to your business.
Beautiful Swedish language, which I, unfortunately, I can only appreciate the melodic sound. But I can, as a understanding Russian language Ukrainian, appreciate the Russian language, which is well recreated here.
Several leaders, troop types, lots of battles, intuitive options in battle. All this makes the game unique and entertaining.
I hope that I can allocate enough time here to immerse myself in the atmosphere of battles and try my hand. Thank you and good luck in the future!
