    Return of the legendary Cossacks! The sequel of the award winning strategy series.

    Cossacks 3 is a rare combination of war, economy, army developing, building and upgrading that couldn’t be found in any game for the last 15 years. This deep RTS gameplay will return old fans in the golden ages of the genre and give newcomers a unique experience.

    This remake of the classic game, that originally launched in 2000, contains all of the elements that distinguish the successful Cossacks games and combines them with contemporary 3D-graphics. Cossacks 3 provides the player with infinite tactical options, including not only the construction of buildings, the production of raw materials, but also the broad selection of various units and the influence of the landscape.



    Twelve nations, 70 different unit types, 100 research opportunities, and over 140 different historical buildings are available to the player. Besides the battles ashore, players can build an armada and attack their enemies at sea. Cossacks 3 offers five historic single player-campaigns and up to eight players can fight each other in multiplayer-mode on one map. The player can forge alliances with or against others as well as challenge the computer. Randomly generated maps provide endless variations and can be adapted to the gamer’s needs.



    • Grandiose battles of up to 16,000 soldiers on the battlefield
    • 12 playable nations
    • 100 research opportunities
    • 140 different historic buildings
    • Battles ashore and at sea
    • Five singleplayer historical campaigns
    • Infinite variations of battles on randomly generated maps

    Note: This game may require additional serial key for multiplayer mode. In case it is not automatically generated in your GOG library (open it via website → select the game → More → Serial Keys), please reach out to our Support team.

    Classic RTS

    This review will be a bit sentimental, but here's how it goes: the game is great, if you know what to expect. It's a remake of good old Cossacks: B2W, so obviously it uses some "old-school" RTS mechanics, which are completely lost in our day and age. Is it a good or a bad thing? Can't say. If you want relive those golden times of strategies - get this game, it's a pretty decent rework. Some buildings look pretty fantastic in 3D. If you've missed those days, but want to get a peek - give it a try. From the looks of it, the game is actively supported and has a lively community, so it's your best chance right now.

    Awesome game but...

    This game feels like playing the good old Cossacks with better graphics and multiplayer at proper speed. However it does not support LAN and devs said it will not be supported. I hope they change their mind in the future. https://steamcommunity.com/app/333420/discussions/0/360670708778998241/#c360670708794090632

    Multiplayer is not DRM-free

    This is a decent sequel to the original game. It is very similar but with slightly improved graphics, so not much work has been put into it. Gameplay is almost exactly the same. Nonetheless, the original game was fun and so is this one. The worst aspect of this game is that Multiplayer requires internet registration and may only be played on official servers. LAN is not supported. This basically a form of DRM. This was not the case with the first and second release so this is a step backwards.

    No LAN, no party

    You can't say there's no DRM and than make it that you can only go online to play multiplayer, even locally. It IS a form of DRM. This is true even for other games on GOG, like Necropolis and Deserts of Kharak. Please fix this.

    pricey dlc

    Good game but the DLC costs too much for what you get. The removal of the deluxe upgrade was dissapointing and as of now I dont recommend buying this game as the full experience is not worth the asking price. Get on at least 50% discount
