I played the first one when i was in highschool and thought it was graphic, unfair, unique, and fun. it was the best game i had ever played for top down but i still played even when i got older. then i saw your team made a 2nd version!? i immedialty got my wallet. this game has been my safe place (ayo wtf) for many years, and now the 2nd one has been my favorite with more expansions, tools and modes, weekly events. my only wish is that they make a third one day with even more. this game means so much to me and im a die hard fan. i hope to see expansions or japanese or more story modes or custimization. i could go play the 1st one and its still a 10/10 to me. thank you all so much for you hard work and dedication to this game and its community

This game says it the first time you start the game: War is NOT fair. It is NOT easy. You will experience scenarios where the odds are going to be against you, and so, don't expect the game to hold your hand. But, keep in mind, it goes two ways. Sometimes the enemy will also face nigh unbeatable odds. Maybe your soldiers will be the creme of the crop, able to gun down anyone in an instant. I remember playing this game series as far back as 2010, I think? When the game was around on Kongregate. Mud and Blood 2 was a game about UNFAIR RANDOM BRUTALITY, or URB, which is also the first three letters of the creator of the game, UrbanProphet. You are in charge of starting out with 4 regular army grunts, and the objective was to hold off the German counterattack during Operation Lüttich. IRL, the Germans would fail, but it cost several thousand lives. You were supposed to hold them off for as long as you can, until the US base could move their HQ, I think? But, truthfully, the Germans will always overrun you, because after several waves, they will send the worst of the worst towards you, like a Tiger 1 tank to face off against your small defence force. And those things were near indestructible. Now, why do I tell all this? Because, the Steam version has that happen to you, in classic mode. Pretty much the same premise, but you have way more options and weaponry than the standard American weapons. And you've got plenty of ground to cover as well before the Germans reach the end. Set up a defensive chokepoint at the front and watch as the germans try everything in their power to get through. Timeless, with certain adjustments. This time, you also have Campaign mode. Lead the revered 29th division and Spend 333 to go through hell and high water as you make your march towards Berlin, commanding a small squad of 6 soldiers, who will all die. Watch them grow, become total badasses as they kill all the Germans they can see. But, here's my warning to you: Don't get excited for your troops levelling upwards. War is bad for your health, and it's very likely that your soldiers will die. The amount of time that I lost a man to a single headshot was staggeringly high. I had to redo my army 9 times in St. Lo because they all got 1 shot by a random vet from the eastern front. On my second replay of the campaign (I reset it because I couldn't bear to see all my good men die anymore), everything was going well. The OG six soldiers were there, alive and well, and I called in a B-17. It turned everything to hell, yes. But the second I walked past a hedgerow, a German flamethrower BBQ'd 5 of my 6 soldiers in an instant. There was no saving them, as I had left behind the fire extinguisher for a panzerfaust. I then rage quit the game and reset the campaign. That all happened 30 minutes ago. An excellence in brutality with video games, where the only difficulty to play is hard, or baby pink training mode. 10/10

Just like the old flash games. Wish they would remaster MnB Recon, I think it's still the best one. You can still play it on Flashpoint player.

Its fun and classic mode is a good bit like MnB2 but its got a lot of changes good and bad. Overall I like it but there are some infuriating things about it that I really question. Review is for "classic mode" which plays like MnB2 The good: -Lootable AT weapons you can manually fire -many more weapons and a few more vehicles -a few more buildable buildings -many more map decorations -much larger map (needs a way to zoom out though) -ammo upgrades that give various bonuses -medics and AT can fire a rifle now -M O B I L E A R T I L L E R Y -it is mud and blood The bad: -first and foremost - the 6 man rule. if you go over 6 soldiers on the field and not under camnets, even for a short time, expect to face what is essentially a blitz that spawns right on top of you. Absolutely game ending 95% of the time unless you are well over 6 men on the field. The dev says this is because it is "small squad tactics" but that just does not translate into the game well when the enemy can throw a couple dozen men at a time at you. even a blitz wave of volksturm will have your 6 man squad perma suppressed by bolt actions and unable to return fire. -Your squad seems incapable of shooting out the gunner of open top vehicles. They can shoot out crewmen on AT guns and AA guns just fine but they seem perfectly content letting an MG42 kubel or halftrack suppress and wipe your entire squad, unlike MnB2. Edit: I have found that infantry can shoot out gunners of AT and AA guns but usually only at very close range. Even if they are within their normal gun range they do not like to shoot at them. This whole bullet point is still a huge issue for me. Concentrate fire doesn't even seem to get your squad to shoot at the vehicle or emplacement. In addition ive found that the most dangerous thing to my own M10s is enemy snipers of all things. I have lost too many M10s to just getting sniped which sucks because my own snipers wont even try to shoot a fully exposed guy using the MG on a kubel. -concentrate fire cost 1 TP now -clunky controls that are somehow worse than the flash game. no hotkeys for actions, LMB is used to select and move units -Based on the wiki and the ribbons I've earned, most ribbons seem far less powerful. No more ribbon to make your squad start with M1s -AI seems to use a lot more off-map support. Some enemies have flare guns or colored smoke that they just LOVE using all the time. Makes any defensive structure but the pillbox near useless. -Fire is annoying and has an unclear radius. Soldiers that are near a fire for 3-5 seconds catch fire. -Cannot pause and issue orders. Makes dealing with things like fire or clunky controls even harder -May have still happened in MnB2 but blitz waves before wave 15 absolutely suck. Many of the complaints I've listed contribute to these being basically unbeatable affairs compared to MnB2 and you just have to accept that your average wave count will drop because of it -Soldiers seem a bit to willing to retreat. If 2 dudes die (sometimes even just one) its not uncommon for a couple guys to panic (even if they are well experienced), run out of the pillbox, get killed near instantly, then make more of your troops panic. Repeat until no one is alive. It doesn't feel much like experience prevents panic like it did in MnB2. Brand new frenchies panic at about the same rate as your NCO with 50 kills upon witnessing death. -Every other german seems to have AT and are not afraid to use it. I dont think I've had a front line vehicle last more than a minute before a shrek or faust hits it. Edit: Since writing I have had vehicles do quite well and survive for a good amount of time. I must have gotten that trademarked MnB RNG initially. The m10 is an AT workhorse and I've had good results out of the AT gun as well although both have a bad tendency of not prioritizing vehicles or missing a lot -Building on the last point, AT options for yourself are heavily limited. Due to the cost and survival time, tanks are not practical. AT guns spawn ON the front line for some reason and are nearly instantly de-crewed. Tube launchers usually do not have the range to deal with any vehicles with weapons as they sit outside tube range and fire. Best counters to enemy armor I have currently is hoping mobile artillery lands its shot and keeping 3 TP in reserve for precision arty and hoping the vehicle doesn't move Edit: see previous bullet point's edit, there is some hope in AT vehicles and emplacements Overall I like it because it is a mud and blood game with a defense mode and a good bit of extra content, but some of the game design choices seem to lean too heavily into the "this game will punish you" mentality. Primarily the 6 man rule which makes you have to rely on fragile and expensive camnets to get past wave 50. Will accept non-cheese tips and tricks to deal with any issues I've listed and be happily proven wrong Still happy to play at the time of writing but if I get too many more wehrmacht blitz waves on wave 15 where I miss 3 AT shots on one (of the two) MG34 halftrack and none of my guys can shoot the gunner, may not be worth playing much more.

Mud and Blood is a relic from the old Flash Games days. As such it retains a certain type of charm that I feel many games are lacking. That being said, this game is hardcore and a bit rage inducing at times. Just as the original was. The mechanics are deep enough to the point where strategy has to be employed and all of your decisions matter. However, the randomness that occurs in this game also stays true. Just like the original random events will be the bane of your existence and unfavorable spawns will make you rage. while it may seem that i dislike the game for these reasons, i actually find it a breath of fresh air. Urbz has made something that i dreamed would have been around back around 10 years ago. A game that is unique and has a style set apart from modern games. It's well worth $12 and well worth your time 8.8/10
