Released on Steam on September 20, 2016, Cossacks 3 is a remake of the 2000 game Cossacks: European Wars. The developers at GSC Game World have implemented several improvements while maintaining a similar gameplay experience.

The game features 20 nations and five campaigns set in Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries. Depending on the campaign you choose, you can liberate Turin from the French, defeat the Ottomans at the Battle of Khotyn, or repel the English rebels at Edgehill. The number of units on the battlefield can reach up to 32,000, so you'll need to use strategy to win battles, whether on land or at sea.

Aside from the combat mechanics, you'll also need to manage your cities, with over 220 buildings and 100 technologies available. Nevertheless, keep an eye on your prosperity and assign your villagers to various tasks to make sure you have enough resources.

The graphics engine has been reworked with improved effects, animations, and environments. In addition, the game emphasizes resource management. And if you want, you can play with up to eight players in online battles or against the AI.

Players have praised the game's improvements and left positive reviews on Steam. However, some report optimization issues in multiplayer mode, while others criticize the balance of some campaigns. Despite this, it is rated “Very Positive” with 82% positive reviews out of 16,092 reviews.

As a result, if you're interested in this game, it is priced at $6.79 instead of $19.99 until August 24, 2026, according to SteamDB. DLCs are also currently on sale on Steam.
