_____________ PRESS REVIEWS _____________

"What better subject for a French studio to make a strategy game about than the US civil war? This remake puts a modern spin on the classic 1990 tactical title."
www.ign.com

“This game is a mix of Age of Empires and the Oregon Trail, but with a heck of a lot more action.”
“[…] See for yourself how great this iPhone/iPad game is ! ”
www.1greatapp.com

“A revival in the truest sense, Bluecoats keeps the best elements of the original, replaces parts that begged for overhaul, and wraps the altered formula in a much prettier package. If I had to choose one version to show off as an example of the true potential of genre mashups, it would undoubtedly be this one.”
“If you’re generally a fan of strategy games and have at least a passing interest in action, you’ll find lots to love in Bluecoats’ three-way mashup. The game’s greatest failing is simply that it lets you jump in on normal difficulty — it’s utterly clear that you need to move up the challenge ladder starting from the very bottom.”

“For small sessions it does a solid job of making you think on your feet. The iOS version makes far more sense to buy than the PC, and iPad owners will probably get the best out of it. The mini games certainly make for an unusually mixed strategy experience, just make sure not to get too good at the shooting and turn the difficulty up!”

Pros and cons of The Bluecoats - North vs South app for iPhone and iPad

The Bluecoats - North vs South app good for

I remember playing this game in my childhood, it was fun then and this remake is fun now. Thank you.

Its a very nice game, I remember the Amiga 500 version, but this version is better a its beautiful.

I love this game I played this on Nintendo years ago never thought I would ever see it again its very addictive and the game play is just as I remember Im glad to be playing it again and you cant beat the price

I played it on my computer and it was cool so I went around looking for it on my phone and here it is

So happy to have found this and how close to the original it has been kept

Great game! Ive seen better civil war games, but with some improvements it could be the best civil war game ever!

Some bad moments

When I was playing it I started off the enemy as weak. Then when I decided to up the difficulty the battles were unfair. The placement I got at first was horrible so they could always take away my cav. But basically the A.I is very unbalanced in the game

Not a great remake of the old Amiga North and South game. The visuals are good but the whole thing feels a little clunky plus it is very shallow for a $3.99 priced game. Theyve even neglected to include the most fun parts of the old game such as being able to blow up bridges and destroy enemy forces as they retreated. All in all not worth the money. Maybe at 99 cents it would get a better rating.

I cant play this on my iPad (1st gen.) anymore. It says I can play it on iPad 2 or using the latest device

HELP ! I paid for the app but not the download! AIUTO Ho pagato lapp ma non la scarica!

In my opinion this is an awesome throwback to the original north and south and the fort and train missions are way cooler!

I love this game! My aunt bought this for me years and years ago for the original Nintendo, and this game is just as fun now as it was back then. I have even gotten my wife and kids to play this game and they love it as well!
