I want to like Libertad O Muerte!, as it’s the only game with a focus on this area during the revolutions. I want to, but I don’t. It is a game without much depth or substance, with the only variables coming from random cards or the player deciding to move his troops into a specific province. I could see it possibly being a better time when playing hot seat or over PBEM as the AI doesn’t feel as if it has a soul.There isn’t enough character here to overcome the game’s shortcomings. I hope that it sees future updates to cut down on the fluff and adds more options for player agency, but until then, I can’t recommend it at this time.

Good game, highly recommended, easily playable in four hours. It accurately simulates the gritty, mob style warfare that defines the Spanish Civil War, produces games that are real nail biters and has the best Chief of Staff AI I’ve ever served with. What could be better? Well given the software firms involved how about a mashup between this game and Espagne 1936, allowing battles on the strategic map to be played out in a Headquarters tactical environment?
