“Great game. I enjoy the community and teamwork a lot more than the actual gameplay. Highly recommended if you can find a group of guys to play with regularly. DOWN WITH THE EAGLE!”
“War of Rights is a BIG Multiplayer game. Exactly what you'd expect from a game about lining up to shoot each other. It's realism is so on point that 80% of players are legitimately racist on the south side. True, but…”
“War of Rights is one of the best games i've played. Most people in the Community are pretty nice, met some good friends on the Game. Even if u just chill in a nearly empty lobby there is allways someone you can talk…”

“Cant give an honest review of the game because all the full servers are password protected with no access for casual players. I just want to play a game, not join some clan with requirements on how often i need to play”
“This game is fun for a few hours if you enjoy the tactics, history, and combat of the time period. The way the point capping works is kind of lame and usually results in very weird, unsatisfying battles over the point…”
