About Battles of the Ancient World
The ‘Battles of the Ancient World’ game system is a tactical simulation of some of the greatest and most important battles from 1457 B.C. to 378 A.D.. Each scenario features one of these great battles and players may play as either side. Each unit in the game represents an actual unit that participated in the battle, each with an actual strength between 250 and 1,200 men. The map represents the actual terrain over which each battle was fought. The game has been designed to ensure maximum playability and historical accuracy, in that order. There are over 55 different units across all the missions, ranging from elite Roman Legionaries, to Persian Scythed Chariots. Each unit has its own unique ability that you need to take advantage of in order to win each battle.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Take it for what it is. Try and get it on a deal. Imagine you're not playing a video game but rather a very light war-boardgame on your laptop/pc; that is essentially what it is. Don't bother playing without historical mode turned on, and don't bother playing casual. I see a bunch of bad reviews and I really suspect these are from people not playing in historical mode and/or just in casual lol. It's good and satisfies my autism. Well done devs: a game that does what it says on the tin!3 found this helpful
Simple but fun game. I play this on my windows tablet (easy to play without a mouse). It's just to relax and don't expect some serious wargaming experience. I think it's also available for mobile phones.3 found this helpful
Easy to play hex based game. You don't have to spend time to 'build your empire'. Just straight into battle.2 found this helpful
An enjoyable, but rather "lite" wargame.1 found this helpful
No progression system or ongoing story. Just separate battles that don't tie together at all. Probably good if you're really into this type of strategy game or you're a history buff. Otherwise, it doesn't offer much.1 found this helpful
Not a bad game, but it's not going to beat Field of Glory 2 which is probably the standard now
