The first instalment in a series that would become known as Men of War. Take control of American, British, Soviet, or German forces to play out battles set in World War II. Primarily a strategy game, but you can directly control your forces with keyboard and mouse as well!
Players can command forces at a high level using real-time strategy mechanics, but also take direct control of individual soldiers, tanks, and other units. This allows executing intricate tactics and maneuvers on the battlefield.
The game provides access to a wide variety of historically accurate weapons, vehicles, and equipment from the American, British, Soviet, and German factions. The physics and damage models realistically simulate vulnerable components on tanks that players can individually target and disable.
Each soldier, weapon, and vehicle has a detailed inventory. Players must carefully manage their limited resources, scavenging ammunition, explosives, and other equipment from fallen enemies. Repairing and maintaining vehicles is also a crucial tactical consideration.
Missions pit the player's small squad against vastly superior enemy forces. Success requires meticulous planning, stealthy maneuvers, and creative problem-solving, as there are usually multiple ways to approach and complete objectives.
The game's environments are highly destructible. Players can strategically collapse buildings, set fires, and use the terrain to their advantage, adding an extra layer of tactical depth.
User reviews consistently highlight the satisfying blend of real-time strategy and granular tactical control. Reviewers also note the impressive realism, authenticity, and challenging but rewarding mission design, which have left a lasting impact on the "Men of War" series.
