That’s not to say the campaign scenarios are easy, however. When the enemy’s on the attack, it’s usually in the form of an all-out bum rush toward your closest units. Enemy infantry will always dig in behind the map’s most strategic locations and go after the nearest target there’s not much in the way of coordinated counteroffensives. Interestingly enough, it’s the enemy AI, not the player’s, that seems to lack any real sophistication. Usually, you’re thrown some kind of curveball in the final moments of each skirmish, but if you take out the enemy vehicles as quickly as possible, you can usually make it through.
Like the gameplay, the mission design in Assault Squad 2 is more or less what you’d expect from the first Men of War-each scenario is broken up by periods of attack and defense. A nice feature is the ability to mouse over different map locations before deploying reinforcements to get a glimpse of how it might change the battle landscape. In terms of gameplay, players control squads through a series of commands, but the AI is fairly sophisticated you don’t have to constantly check in on each unit to make sure everyone’s pulling their weight. Attack & Defense As You’ve Come to Expect Instead, tanks and armored vehicles act more as support for your infantry, instead of the other way around. Sure, the vehicles are fun to control, but one well-placed tank grenade can be enough to take them out, and obvious line-of-sight limitations keep larger units from becoming over-powered.
Instead of an arms race for better equipment, the gameplay favors infantry fighting and tactics. What makes Men of War stand out, however, is in how the game weights the various squads. However, given the lack of major innovations compared to the original, it’s easy to see why players have been underwhelmed with the release.Īs with the first Men of War, the gameplay focuses exclusively on skirmishes, allowing players to control military units ranging from sniper teams to armored vehicles.
There’s no shortage of real-time strategy (RTS) games using World War II as their backdrop, and Digitalmindsoft’s Men of War: Assault Squad 2 is everything you’d expect: skirmish-oriented combat that offers a satisfying multiplayer experience.
