Description
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.

Very good!

Cossacks 3 is awesome. The sound of hundreds of muskets firing never gets old. This era and setting are criminally unexplored in video gaming. + Beautiful and clear graphics. Compare this to other modern rts games where everything is brown and filled with special effects so you have no clue what's even going on. + Economy and army are reasonably easy to manage. + Good music + 17th century French dragoon, Polish winged hussar, Swiss Jaeger - Exploding buildings. The most frustrating part of Cossacks 3 is that every single building is filled to the brim with TNT! If you conquer an enemy base carelessly, you will lose over half your army to exploding buildings, especially mines. What were they thinking?? Mines OP! - Campaigns are unchallenging, boring and buggy. The story and writing is good though. - Download that cannons fire automatically mod in steam workshop, it is mandatory. With an army of 3000 soldiers and an economy to manage, do you really want to micromanage every single cannon shot? - Attack move command feels clunky Online everybody seems to agree that none of the DLC is worth buying.

Good old Cossacks

I used to play this game (DOS version) on the times when it's gameplay was new and popular and I was young. So I rate it 5. For you the experience may differ.
