Celebrate America's Independence Day with the games actually set during the revolution

Games thrive on war. It creates inherent conflict, the force that feeds the action and momentum of so many titles. However, not all wars are equal in the eyes of publishers. I mean, we could easily list 100 games set during World War II, and modern military action has become a big trend.

But you know what you won’t find? A lot of games set during the American Revolutionary War. Of course, that’s largely because it took place in a time that predated automatic weapons (and we all know how much everyone loves their fast-paced shooters), but that doesn’t make the lack of 18th century gaming any easier to take.
