Our Expert Score

84/100

Rebels and Redcoats Gold is a masterclass in tactical wargaming for the American Revolutionary War. For fans of the hex-and-counter style, this is a dream come true on mobile. It strikes a fine balance between accessibility and deep strategy. You really have to respect the period's limitations—musket ranges, troop morale, and the importance of bayonet charges are all modeled with impressive accuracy. Winning a battle here feels like a genuine achievement because the AI is quite competent and won't just let you walk over them.

The 'Gold' edition content makes it a very meaty package. Having access to campaigns like Bunker Hill and Saratoga in one go provides hours of historical immersion. The interface is clean, making it easy to manage units even on a smaller screen. If you enjoy games like Civil War: 1863, this is a mandatory addition to your library. It’s a serious game for people who love history and strategy in equal measure.

Various bug fixes


Rebels and Redcoats Gold recreates the battlefields of the American Revolutionary War. The war began in 1775 when the American colonies rebelled against the British Empire, declaring their independence in 1776. In the following years, Britain tried to end the revolt and recapture the American territories. The rebels however had support from Europe, with France and Spain later joining the war as allies to their cause. A decisive American victory at Yorktown in 1781 broke the British resolve and was a catalyst in starting peace negotiations. The war ended in 1783 with the signing of the Treaty of Paris and global recognition of the sovereignty of the United States.
