Pike and Shot is a turn-based tactical game, set in a time where musketeers “gave fire” in a duel to the death, pikemen held stolidly against enemy assaults, and cavalry charged to glory or defeat. You can take command in the greatest historical battles of the Italian Wars (1494-1559 A.D.), the Thirty Years War (1618-1648 A.D.) and the English Civil War (1642-1651 A.D.). Pike and Shot Campaigns includes the Pike and Shot base game and the Tercio to Salvo expansion.

Too janky and boring.. play Field of Glory or Sengoku Jidai instead, they're much better!
I like the setting of this game, I like the core battle gameplay, and because of it that I keep coming back to it...BUT...this game is lacking a lot of meat. Not to mention the underwhelming presentation, which can be just a budgetary limitation; this game could have done a LOT with a better campaign mode, instead of the mini campaigns. Faction selection is also a head ache in all game modes too.
BUT
The core battlefield gameplay is still fun and unique.
