Pixel Soldiers: Bull Run

This game, called Pixel Soldiers, allows players to engage in battles across 19th century North America. It is designed for both wargamers and casual gamers, making it easy to play but difficult to master. The game is set 50 years after the previous Pixel Soldiers game, Pixel Soldiers: Waterloo.

Players can participate in Union and Confederate campaigns, with historical scenarios leading up to the Battle of First Manassas (Bull Run) in the east and Wilson's Creek in the west. There are also other maps available to play in sandbox mode, such as Philippi, Rich Mountain, Mathias Point, Blackburn's Ford, Matthews Hill, Henry Hill, and more.

The game features a variety of units and weapons, each with their own unique uniforms. Players can command their armies with ease, but must also use in-depth strategy to be successful. They can play against an AI opponent or another player on the same device. The game also includes a morale system, where units may go into disorder or break and run depending on their morale after taking casualties.

Players must use the terrain to their advantage, such as keeping vulnerable units behind ridges or hiding them in trees. They can also use artillery for long range fire support or risk placing them near the enemy for more effective canister shot. The game also includes rifled and smoothbore cannon. Players must also strategically place their cavalry and infantry units, using skirmishers to delay and disrupt enemy attacks and riflemen for accurate fire support.

The game offers multiple ways to win, whether players choose to push their troops forward and seize the initiative or set up a defensive line and await reinforcements. The controls are simple, with players tapping to select and move or attack units. There is also a tutorial available for new players.
