Dec. 2024

I love the Wargame series, this series of games has a style and gameplay that really scratches a certain itch I have when it comes to RTS games. It's fast paced and kinetic but still requires alot of thought and management. Even early stage solo AI will teach you hunkering down and "base building" or massing a large force in one area is not good, you are always moving, reenforcing and engaging. I'm antisocial, and generally avoid engaging with other people so I haven't tried any of the multiplayer, so I can't speak to that, but I love this game and the other entries

Nov. 2024

Great game, tons of strategy involved, tons of units, great missions. Definitely one of my favorite war games.

Sept. 2024

Everyone knows about Red Dragon and Warno by now, but the single player scenarios for European Escalation are worth checking out if you enjoyed Red Dragon or Warno. I personally wish the units all spoke english, but some will enjoy that every army speaks their native language so I wont hold it against the game. If you've ever spent too long reading the wikipedia article about your favorite tank, pick up this game it's fun.

recommended, i just developed my own strategy of using scout helies X attack helies to attack their command units at there spawn locations and render them crippled, then finish them off in cold blood like the animals they are.

Feb. 2024

Still the best war game. the campaigns are very fun. Shame some of the units are locked behind stars. So you have to play multiplayer. But still would be fun even whit few units :) For those having issues whit brightness. Go to setting and set API To Direct 9 instead of newer ones. that fixes the issue.
