Gameplay

ZuluWar! is a computer wargame that simulates the Anglo-Zulu War from a strategic level. The player may control either the British Empire or Zulu Kingdom.[2]

Development

ZuluWar! was designed by Jeff Lapkoff and Dennis Bishop for Incredible Simulations,[1] a company owned by Lapkoff.[3] It follows the design trend in Lapkoff's earlier work, such as Custer's Last Command and Defend the Alamo, of focusing on losing battles.[2][3] It was the first computer wargame dedicated to the Anglo-Zulu War released since the 1980s,[2] and Lapkoff's first game developed for Microsoft Windows.[3]
