This is my military go to game, by far the most enjoyable. So many good DLC also, various theatres which makes it a well thought out game. Would love a Vietnam game in the future. A+

Gameplay Mechanics: 8/10 Narrative: 7/10 Graphics: 7/10 Sound and Music: 7/10 Replayability: 9/10 Innovation: 8/10 Order of Battle: World War II is a turn-based strategy game that provides a deep and engaging experience, offering a fresh take on tactical gameplay in a World War II setting. The game’s mechanics strike a good balance between accessibility and depth. Players command ground, naval, and air units across expansive hex-based maps, utilizing terrain, supply lines, and unit specialization to outmaneuver opponents. The logistics system, which emphasizes supply and reinforcements, adds an extra layer of strategy, earning gameplay a solid 8/10. The narrative is serviceable, focusing on historically inspired campaigns that span the major theaters of World War II. While the scenarios are well-crafted, the storytelling is limited, serving primarily as a backdrop to the gameplay. For its contextual and straightforward approach, narrative scores a 7/10. Graphically, the game offers a clean and functional aesthetic. The unit models and map designs are detailed enough to provide immersion but fall short of being visually striking. The graphics effectively convey the setting without standing out, earning a 7/10. The sound and music are fitting, with appropriate battle sounds and a soundtrack that complements the World War II theme. However, the audio design lacks the variety or impact to make it particularly memorable, resulting in a 7/10. Replayability is a major strength, with numerous campaigns, customizable difficulty settings, and a rich selection of scenarios to explore. The variety of factions and unit types ensures plenty of room for experimentation and strategic variety. Replayability scores a strong 9/10. Innovation shines in the game’s logistics system, which adds a unique twist to the genre. The need to manage supply lines and reinforcements makes each decision feel impactful, setting Order of Battle apart from its peers. For its creative mechanics, innovation scores an 8/10. In summary, Order of Battle: World War II is a robust and rewarding strategy game that offers plenty of depth and variety for fans of the genre. While its narrative and presentation may not break new ground, its gameplay and replayability make it a standout title for World War II enthusiasts.
