SGS We The People

I've been playing wargames for many years and this has been a most frustrating experience. I really wanted to like this game but the control interface is painfully bad. Half the time units wont move where you want them to, refuse to fight enemy in the same region or are simply impossible to control in any meaningful manner, and does the game tell you where you are going wrong..... no, nothing in the way of feedback or guidance... very frustrating. Have tried two different scenarios to learn the game but have now given up until it gets a dramatic improvement. The first scenario was an obvious win for the British (me) and achieved all of the stated objectives, but, at game end the result was announced as a draw 33-3 - obviously a bug that should really have been picked up in testing. In the second game my forces flatly refused to move North and advance on Quebec. It appeared as though one enemy unit, in the same region as my major stack, was stopping forward movement, but I could find no way to move on, nor fight this enemy unit. This went on for around five turns until game end when the result was again declared a draw. Altogether, a deeply flawed game that I would love to re…

This is my first SGS game. I have spent over 3 hours on it and I have no idea how to play the game. The tutorials are for people who know the system. There are no useful YouTube play through videos you can follow-along with. I have heard if I bought another game that is easier, I could figure this out. Why not create proper documentation? How much money do I have to spend to learn how to play this game. My advice: if you don't know the system, pass on this game.

I was looking forward to playing this game and learning the mechanics. But I guess this game isn't for me. The manual is spread out across several small tutorials available on a web page but in game, the mechanics just didn't click for me. A lot of mechanics are not explained well in-game with no pop up hints or anything else to help you figure out how things are working. Combat happens quickly and I have no idea if I am succeeding or getting my butt kicked. Other users seems to have figure most of the mechanics but I guess this game just wasn't for me. Some sound-effects in game would have lent some semblance of familiarity with other strategy games. eg. such as having a sound play when clicking on a unit. Devs seemed to have had some roadmap laid out after release but feels like a lot of bugs have not been addressed and probably won't be at this point.

Buggy, clunky, and unfinished game with an AI that is passive and clueless. The card system is broken with many cards not working. Movement is clunky and frustrating. Hard to tell if the unit is going to move or just stay still. The game manual is worthless and seems to be written for SGS games in general. The game does have nice looking graphics if you can get past the inconsistent gameplay. This game isn't even in early access, apparently never playtested as the developer is constantly trying to explain away the poor condition of the game. Avoid this purchase at all costs!

Great foundation and artwork but the AI -on which most interaction in SGS games hinges on- is anything but a piece of masterful art. It's subpar at best and pretty terrible at worst. Anyone with some experience with strategy games will easily beat the AI without much sweat.

I was looking forward to this game. I love this era of history and I love strategy games. However, when I entered the game, it immediately asked me for a registration key. Steam doesn't provide one, and support was only able to tell me to contact the publisher's support. They were not able to provide one either, just something about maybe a file being blocked. In short, I couldn't play it, and was forced to ask for a refund.
