Men of War: Assault Squad 2 Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
I'm just trying to pivot the camera around when I accidentally hit E. Suddenly, I'm looking over the shoulder of a squad leader with the US Marine Corps. His rifle is following my cursor and WASD moves him around. Men of War: Assault Squad 2 is an RTS—so what the hell is going on?No matter: I spend the next gleeful minute headshotting advancing Japanese soldiers in this surprise third-person
There’s a lot to this game and I cannot recommend it to anyone new to the genre as tutorial does almost nothing to help you learn the game. For hardcore RTS fans out there, I suspect that this game will be right up your ally. It’s a fun game and there is a lot of content to it, and it offers some features unusual to the genre, but if you played the original there may not be much for you here. The game supports Steam Workshop, though, and the developer, Digitalmindsoft has guaranteed that it will release free game updates including new features, so hopefully this resolves that critical prob…
There's a good game in MoWAS2, but you absolutely have to work for it. I mentioned earlier that the Early Access was tutorial free. I've played the tutorial now, and it doesn't cover enough of the basics in terms of control or tactical tips, and it really needs to. I found out how to fix tanks from a loading screen, and that was many hours in. The missions themselves have you controlling too many units at once, and having them all look near identical but doing vastly different jobs is awkward. Worst of all, I had the feeling that I was playing the game wrong despite my best efforts, which is a...
Men of War: Assault Squad 2 won’t be for everyone, but there’s something endearing and impressive about its utter lack of concern for your well-being. It’s not a perfect game, and indeed can often be a frustrating one. While it throws off the unwanted shackles of unit trees and resource management, it introduces its own clunky sub-systems that take almost as much time to master. The interface could do with tidying up, and the AI is occasionally dunderheaded. Not without flaws then, but ...
I say all this not to judge the game, because we can do that only on its actual merits, but because I want to register my interest in purchasing Men Of War in space. Or in the 21st century. Or in a demon dimension where slave penitents make war with fractal grenades. Because all of those things would be okay. Okay?
