The skirmish Men of War: Assault Squad 2 for PC focuses on a more squad-based management style gameplay with tactical maneuvering as opposed to full-blown, large-scale warfare. The intricate detailing of the game makes for a real-time strategy experience where nothing is off the table and variables come in the form of everything from unit inventory systems to dynamic tank armor.
Aside from its versatility, the presentation of Men of War: Assault Squad 2 is found in its earful of sound effects and visuals, capturing the chaos of constant gunfire, crumbling buildings, the clanging of steel, and the screams of your soldiers. The strategy game operates on a large scale, showcasing an overhead view of your war zone, but allowing cinematic angles, so you can get up close and personal to see every moment of the action. You can command a force of multiple unit types containing up to 1, soldiers, tanks, artillery, aircraft, and more while executing strategic attacks based on actual operations during the time.
A striking orchestra builds up the ambiance of impending destruction as you bait an enemy tank squadron for a frontal attack while preparing your ambush with a strategic flanking offense in order to capture command points and push your army to victory.
If you are up for a challenge, Hearts of Iron IV offers a complex World War II real-time strategy game that can take many hours to master but make you feel like a genius general. By C Toth. As someone who is liking this game, I will eventually stop playing as this has always been a turn off in other games. That is not to say to add more unattractive characters, but at least half the women are showing their midriff and the others are also clearly sexualized.
This is coming from a white straight male mind you. Outside of these flaws that will likely lead to my eventual exit of this game the game is overall enjoyable and it is not necessary to pay a large portion of money to still have an enjoyable time. See all positive reviews. Enjoyable but flawed Nov 25, Enjoyable game but suffers from a variety of flaws.
For starters the battle system needs improvement. The fact that any level can attack any level at any time in inherently flawed. Additionally they regularly have packages for sale.

Enjoyable could be better Sep 1, By jlwiilis. This is an enjoyable game, have been playing for a few months now. Lots of content with rotating events. I have a couple recommendations though.
This is when things really slow down and you should be able to send troops to collect all 3 types of resources at the same time rather than picking 2 of the 3. This is painfully archaic. This is a fun game and I will continue to play it, however the above listed items would enhance game play and remove some frustration with some of its short falls.
Sep 4, By npoce. So I downloaded this game thinking it was cool because of the ads. And yes it was fun but still not as fun looking as the ads. If you can make it just like the ads that will be good. I will gladly re- download the app if you can make it like the ads. They basically scam you with the ads to download the game. Another problem is the amount of money you have to spend. I mean come on. Most developers care about money anyway. Seems like this is one of those.
Please read Mar 17, By govenor plugginz the queen. Okay first is the most important. The chat filter is useless. You can say a bad word and get away with it so long as you change the letter to a different language. You can get away with that, and you can say numbers!
You can say your age, phone number, adress, etc. At least put a mute chat filter! Please do this as soon as possible! Second, the most powerful alliances are people who pay to win. Please fix this soon. Fourth, I opened up my app yesterday, to find a black screen. I shrugged it off, thinking it was just a glitch, but then I closed the app and reopened it.
Black screen. I did it again. Same thing. I updated it today, and opened it, same thing. Until then I will keep trying. When it works I will update this to say number 4 has been fixed. Thanks for you time. Not what I though Apr 4, By jgvhgghj. I got to rank 40 in the game and after that gameplay got repetitive I like the new stuff like commander types but the games unbalanced to the point where the in game groups make rule for fighting each other because commanders of all ranks can attack each other all it takes for an entire group to go up in flames is some rank 80 who decided to attack everyone below there rank and the battle reports are awful like really just a name and the battle footage I understand that this game was ported to english from the fact that the text glitches out sometimes and displays other languages and the menus are hard to understand and also get repetitive also the game is completely pay to win you can basically get to rank 60 in a single day if your willing to drop a few hundreds and if you buy vip you can buy any item in the game I was in a top group for a while the the 3 rank 80s in our group were constantly buying packs and had the power to wipe out entire clans by themselves more.
Dec 18, By Chris Volper. You can get to lvl43 in a few days for free, then you can decide whether to spend or not. Svs is a mess right now, and devs do not seem to want to fix the lag in it. If they do finally listen, I will put my original rating back.
For now, 1 is as high as this game deserves. Switched from tm to gm and they shorted me speedups. They claim their data said they game me enough, yet facts proved they didn't since I needed gems to complete the research for 3h marches. See all 3 reviews. See all 2 reviews. Great Game but a huge problem for me Nov 3, I really liked the game. The highest level player can attack the lowest. Also, I noticed I had little control on Leveling up in the beginning.
The Graphics are great, the events fun and similar to other War Games. I have no proof that would hold up in court. Also, I do spend the money daily. BUT… I was being billed twice for the same package. A little at first but became a routine problem. I contacted both Apple and In-Game Support who they said they would investigate.
Shortly after, they froze my game account so all monies I legitimately spent was lost. I cancelled that card as well and received a full refund. See all 1 reviews. Sign Up.

Fun and could be balanced rts is really a pay to win. I payed some money and dominated, but then you get matched with other pay to win ppl. The company is extremely pretentious, greedy and does not care. By Rodger This is my favorite game in the whole wide world!! One of my favorite touches to this game is that the top character u can get is a rat a mystical one too! One more thing this is not a pay to win, even thou the top rat is like 50 or bucks he can still get beet by the first level character Rudo which is pretty cool if u think about it.
This game is a more skill based game. Now we gotta talk about the power ups or perks that u can use!! Most of them are pretty okay nothing too crazy but the character that I personally hate is the Phaom which has really Op perks! The one thing that I HATE is one of his perks which scares ur units off from a designated area and then he just attacks with his entire army. Dec 28, By robin banks. Very good game. Only down side is the wait times for multiplayer, only sometimes though.
Maybe once there are more players it will be even less. Jan 12, By Malak Bryant. Crashes when opening chest and loses loot. You have to pay for the campaign which it doesn't tell you until about 5 missions in. Is very money hungry and has ads all over the place.
The worst part is losing out on chest and their contents. That's just terrible when you require the loot from chest to level up characters or your skill tree.
Best competitive rage game ever Feb 2, By CripTeC. Plus watching other players rage quit is the best feeling! Hope this helped convince you this game is a keeper!! Jan 11, By Chad Roberts.
Excellent game. Only thing keeping it from 5 stars is that finding opponents in multiplayer is sluggish and sometimes glitchy. Plays fine once a game starts, though. Review Jul 11, By Kyle Hashey. Understanding strategy and knowing player powers is key to winning a lot in the game. Also would be nice to get better chests more often, without spending money still a really really fun game but it will take me forever to unlock all characters and upgrade them all the way.
Jun 4, By mark I like this game for its multiplayer player feature and the ability to gradually unlock everyone. There is a lot of ways to make money without giving half of the game. But I do overall love and play this games multiplayer religiously. It would be a 5 with more content with at least stories of the characters and more levels or Bonus levels.
I mean there are so many characters how could some of the games campaign NOT be free? By Jkkkkll. They fixed the swipe issue on iPhone X! This game is amazing, thanks to the developers for fixing the biggest problem this game has. Amazing game, single player is lacking but the multiplayer is super competitive and deep for a small iPhone game. Highly recommended Update: had to take off a star as a warning against purchasing the campaign. They had a big update recently and released new levels of campaign so I decided to contribute and buy them only to realize the AI on higher levels is terrible.
The computer basically screenwatches you and reacts impossibly well to standard attacks, so you end up having to use cheap, trial and error tactics on just about every map. I play with people ranked near the top worldwide at the actual game and they can barely get through the first boss of the campaign since the AI is so lame to play against, requiring strategies that would be outright awful against even the biggest noob. Multiplayer is still fantastic though!
All they want is your money Mar 13, By Thetechg33k. Everything is focused around you spending real money in order to progress.
You can play multiplayer without your abilities and gems but you would more than likely lose to a skilled opponent. This needs to be fixed ASAP, the PC version of this game is nowhere as money hungry as the iOS version, on pc your abilities just have a cool down in game and you can constantly use them without having to refill gems. Devs you need to fix this money hungry aim for your game because players recognize this and you lose a significant amount of your player base due to the fact that your game is revolved around making you money.
By yoda Pay to win. The game is no longer as fun or challenging. To be competitive, you must put at least a year into the game, or hundreds of dollars. No more! It now just feels like a rip off. Many veteran players are jumping ship now. To be competitive you need about 3 million gold for passive upgrades, double that to be a pro. You also need a couple million to upgrade heroes. Every 3 hours you can unlock a chest with gold, and daily play 2 hours for 10k gold. So roughly 15k gold daily, whilst investing several hours and checking all day to open chests.
Double that to be a pro. Or neither? Stupid update So close yet so far Oct 23, By RapidfireX. So close yet so far. In a market full of uninspired mobile games that repeatedly rip each other off, MR2 provides something truly unique.
Hands down, I would rate this game in my top 3 mobile games of the year. However, this gets me to my second point, it is beyond Pay-to-Win. Ok fair, lock the campaign behind a paywall. So WHY? Why, are these skills hidden behind an energy bar? Was my favorite Aug 19, By Lazyovermatch. I really enjoyed this game in the past but it has become pay to play.
To have an edge you need to upgrade your base troops, to do this you need runes. To get runes you have to level up, to level up you need to upgrade the heroes, to upgrade the heroes you have to earn lots of gold and cards. It takes a long time to save to really upgrade your heroes. The average chest, that takes 3 hours to open, only gives gold. This is crazy. Now the as you continue to upgrade your hero abilities it becomes more and more expensive.
The only way to really advance in this game is to watch a crazy amount of adds as well as spend money on gems. A solution would be to add ways to level up that do not involve spending gold or gems. Maybe actually playing the stinking game should level you up.
I am very disappointed to see this game turn to pay to play. EDIT for latest update: nothing buy pay to play now. You have to upgrade through XP only gained by spending gold and gems. With this update you cant even choose the order to get your upgrades to support your play style. You are seriously turning a great game into trash. You need to choose, pay to play or adds not both. See All Expert Reviews. By Joseph Lopez. This is a good game in all. Exciting and brilliant defense game.
The only issue is when you start to rank higher the game will level you up with some other players that are beyond your league or level. Its a lose lose situation. Scenario, I dont have wins yet but I went up against someone with wins 50 wins in a row and a few other achievements. Im not saying I'm not any good but the levels we are up against.
Or players are cheating. Who knows more. Jan 9, By Eric Springer. Good strategy game, couldn't find a way to turn off the music and sounds Really annoying. Thier is lots to buy in game but you can earn your way through the game without buying so kudos there. By Cap Peterson. But when I watch an add to get a free chest or extra cards it's annoying as heck to not get any of it after watching the add.
It would be a 5 star review if it didn't jip me on the adds. And make me watch them for no rewards after promising them. If I get an extra card after watching an add give me my extra card!!! Fix it! Fun game but you will have to pay to compete in the higher leagues Aug 10, By Lou This is definitely a fun game to play and you can tell Zillion Wales put in a lot of time developing it. However, if you play regularly or want to get to the higher leagues, especially diamond or pro, then you will likely have to spend money to compete with the top players who spend a lot of money to upgrade their heroes.
For forging artifacts, they will also not let you choose which artifact or hero you are forging the artifact for, but they can give you a artifact you already possess.
Furthermore, even if you buy premium, you still have to watch several 30 second ads or use gems to open chests usually paying for premium on any site or app gets rid of ads. Passive skills is another way they try to get you to spend money, as you can only upgrade passive skills with gold and runes.
I used to really love this game Mar 19, By ahfkabgdsfh. So if you have extra change then I recommend this game but if u are searching for a fair platform this is not it.
Not to mention you are cross played with people who use computers or laptops so if u play on ur phone you are automatically at a disadvantage. Jan 10, By james brandt. I like the game allot it is fun but it is having connection issues.
Also another thing I don't like about it don't expect to get good unless you buy stuff. Like allot of stuff. This game will literally burn a hole in your pocket just to be on the same level as average players.
Much like every other mobile game these days. It's so annoying. Then they put you with way better people all the time I probably win one of every 4 battles. Also once you tier up the quests take you so long unless you buy more.
It's huge, complex, and through years of expansions has just kept growing. The simulation can sometimes be tough to wrap one's head around, but it's worth diving in and just seeing where alt-history takes you. Few 4X games try to challenge Civ, but Old World already had a leg up thanks designer Soren Johnson's previous relationship with the series. He was the lead designer on Civ 4, and that legacy is very apparent. But Old World is more than another take on Civ.
For one, it's set exclusively in antiquity rather than charting the course of human history, but that change in scope also allows it to focus on people as well as empires. Instead of playing an immortal ruler, you play one who really lives, getting married, having kids and eventually dying. Then you play their heir. You have courtiers, spouses, children and rivals to worry about, and with this exploration of the human side of empire-building also comes a bounty of events, plots and surprises.
You might even find yourself assassinated by a family member. There's more than a hint of Crusader Kings here. You can't have a best strategy games list without a bit of Civ. Civilization 6 is our game of choice in the series right now, especially now that it's seen a couple of expansions. The biggest change this time around is the district system, which unstacks cities in the way that its predecessor unstacked armies.
Cities are now these sprawling things full of specialised areas that force you to really think about the future when you developing tiles. The expansions added some more novel wrinkles that are very welcome but do stop short of revolutionising the venerable series.
They introduce the concept of Golden Ages and Dark Ages, giving you bonuses and debuffs depending on your civilisation's development across the years, as well as climate change and environmental disasters. It's a forward-thinking, modern Civ. This is a game about star-spanning empires that rise, stabilise and fall in the space of an afternoon: and, particularly, about the moment when the vast capital ships of those empires emerge from hyperspace above half-burning worlds.
Diplomacy is an option too, of course, but also: giant spaceships. Play the Rebellion expansion to enlarge said spaceships to ridiculous proportions. Stellaris takes an 'everything and the kicthen sink' approach to the space 4X. It's got a dose of EU4, Paradox's grand strategy game, but applied to a sci-fi game that contains everything from robotic uprisings to aliens living in black holes. It arguably tries to do to much and lacks the focus of some of the other genre greats, but as a celebration of interstellar sci-fi there are none that come close.
It's a liberating sandbox designed to generate a cavalcade of stories as you guide your species and empire through the stars, meddling with their genetic code, enslaving aliens, or consuming the galaxy as a ravenous hive of cunning insects. Fantasy 4X Endless Legend is proof that you don't need to sacrifice story to make a compelling 4X game. Each of its asymmetrical factions sports all sorts of unique and unusual traits, elevated by story quests featuring some of the best writing in any strategy game.
The Broken Lords, for instance, are vampiric ghosts living in suits of armour, wrestling with their dangerous nature; while the necrophage is a relentless force of nature that just wants to consume, ignoring diplomacy in favour of complete conquest. Including the expansions, there are 13 factions, each blessed or cursed with their own strange quirks.
Faction design doesn't get better than this. Civ in space is a convenient shorthand for Alpha Centauri, but a bit reductive. Brian Reynolds' ambitious 4X journey took us to a mind-worm-infested world and ditched nation states and empires in favour of ideological factions who were adamant that they could guide humanity to its next evolution. The techs, the conflicts, the characters— it was unlike any of its contemporaries and, with only a few exceptions, nobody has really attempted to replicate it.
Not even when Firaxis literally made a Civ in space, which wasn't very good. Alpha Centauri is as fascinating and weird now as it was back in '99, when we were first getting our taste of nerve stapling naughty drones and getting into yet another war with Sister Miriam.
More than 20 years later, some of us are still holding out hope for Alpha Centauri 2. Pick an Age of Wonders and you really can't go wrong. If sci-fi isn't your thing, absolutely give Age of Wonders 3 a try, but it's Age of Wonders: Planetfall that's got us all hot and bothered at the moment.
Set in a galaxy that's waking up after a long period of decline, you've got to squabble over a lively world with a bunch of other ambitious factions that run the gamut from dinosaur-riding Amazons to psychic bugs. The methodical empire building is a big improvement over its fantastical predecessors, benefiting from big changes to its structure and pace, but just as engaging are the turn-based tactical battles between highly customisable units.
Stick lasers on giant lizards, give everyone jetpacks, and nurture your heroes like they're RPG protagonists—there's so much fiddling to do, and it's all great. Set in an alternate 's Europe, factions duke it out with squishy soldiers, tanks and, the headline attraction, clunky steampunk mechs. There are plenty of them, from little exosuits to massive, smoke-spewing behemoths, and they're all a lot of fun to play with and, crucially, blow up.
Iron Harvest does love its explosions. When the dust settles after a big fight, you'll hardly recognise the area. Thanks to mortars, tank shells and mechs that can walk right through buildings, expect little to remain standing. The level of destruction is as impressive as it is grim.
To cheer yourself up, you can watch a bear fight a mech. Each faction has a heroic unit, each accompanied by their very own pet. All of them have some handy unique abilities, and yes, they can go toe-to-toe with massive war machines. Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 's cosmic battles are spectacular. There's a trio of vaguely 4X-y campaigns following the three of the Warhammer 40K factions: The Imperium, Necron Empire and the nasty Tyranid Hives, but you can ignore them if you want and just dive into some messy skirmishes full of spiky space cathedrals colliding with giant, tentacle-covered leviathans.
The real-time tactical combat manages to be thrilling even when you're commanding the most sluggish of armadas. You need to manage a whole fleet while broadside attacks pound your hulls, enemies start boarding and your own crews turn mutinous. And with all the tabletop factions present, you can experiment with countless fleet configurations and play with all sorts of weird weapons. Viking-themed RTS Northgard pays dues to Settlers and Age of Empires, but challenged us with its smart expansion systems that force you to plan your growth into new territories carefully.
Weather is important, too. You need to prepare for winter carefully, but if you tech up using 'lore' you might have better warm weather gear than your enemies, giving you a strategic advantage. Skip through the dull story, enjoy the well-designed campaign missions and then start the real fight in the skirmish mode. Mechanically, Homeworld is a phenomenal three-dimensional strategy game, among the first to successfully detach the RTS from a single plane.
If you liked the Battlestar Galactica reboot, or just fancy a good yarn in your RTS, you should play this. Thanks to the Homeworld Remastered Collection , it's aged very well. The remasters maintain Homeworld and its sequel's incredible atmosphere, along with all the other great bits, but with updated art, textures, audio, UI—the lot.
