What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Wars of the Roses is praised by players for its accessibility and simplicity as a tactical hex wargame, with some appreciating its historical accuracy, though others note it lacks historical detail in maps and troops. Common complaints center on technical issues including crashes that developers don't address, an unintuitive interface with poor save/load functionality, and AI balance problems that make playing non-historical sides frustratingly difficult. Most players suggest waiting for fixes or approaching with caution given the stability and support concerns.

As a newcomer i found this game quite easy to master and started off using tutorials and using the causal mode. After a week all was well then the game crashes and will not reload. Steam are not helpful at all sending back standard e mails stating they will not refund as i have played over two hours! Surely if a game is not working its not my fault, but the software. So much for consumer rights and Steams customer service attitude, it stinks in my view. HexWar Games have so far not replied to my requests. So all in all a decent game but lots of problems and apparently no one is bothered. Would like any advice?

Enjoyable, but perhaps rather "lite", tactical hex wargame. Some good features, but maybe the maps and troops aren't as historically accurate as they might have been.

The problem with this game is that if you don't play as the historical winning side its impossible to defeat the AI. Trying to win the St Albans as the Lancastrians is nigh impossible.

Easy to play, historically accurate
Not recommended Oct 30, 2024
Fairly simple game with a terrible interface. Game play isn't the negative, it's the lack of info and the poor way of saving & loading. Can't recommend overall.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
