Campfire Games founders Mads Larsen and Emil Hansen began developing War of Rights in 2012,[1] and successfully raised US$118,000 on Kickstarter three years later.[2] They released an early access version on 3 December 2018,[1] and added the ability to fire artillery in 2020.[3]

Setting and gameplay

The game is set during the Maryland campaign of the American Civil War, including the Battle of Antietam.[4] It includes detailed recreations of period uniforms, weapons, and artillery. The game is multiplayer only, featuring up to 300 participants per match. The game emphasizes realism, including a chain of command and tactical formations with players receiving positive benefits for following orders and maintaining formation.[3][5]
