Reviews
- The Wargamer "Chariots of War has much to recommend it. It combines keen attention to historical detail with a solid and respectable turn-based strategy game engine to produce a wargame with epic scope that has strong replay value and is both accessible and fun."
- AceGames "I myself found it hard to stop playing; I kept thinking "oh just one more turn" and before I knew it another hour had passed."
- Deaf Gamers "I feel that Chariots of War would make an ideal game for anyone looking to get into the turn-based strategy genre as it doesn't come on too strong but it still shows how addictive TBS gaming can be"
- GameZone "I was quickly addicted to it, and played it A LOT, especially over the past couple of days. As I stated before, if you are a fan of those global conquest games either on PC or in board game fashion, you will probably get into this title and have loads of fun with it."
- BoomTown "Chariots of War is an immensely deep game and is extremely playable and addictive. Once you load it up you’ll wonder where the last three hours went when you next look at the clock." "Playing Chariots of War was an unusual experience for me. I wasn't immediately taken by this turn based strategy title; instead, Chariots grew on me as I came to appreciate design elements that I wasn't comfortable with when I first played it. The more I played Chariots, the more I enjoyed it. "
