Men of War: Assault Squad

i dont know what is up with this game but my adhd sees this as candy and my brain enjoys it :)

Strategic but at lot of repeats. So stand and defend and await your attacks.

Seriously, this "game" is a huge disappointment. The targeting system is pathetic, the enemy knows everything, it's annoying, frustrating, by the time you finish a level your hair will turn gray. Soldiers: Heroes of World War was fantastic but this is not a game. Shame on the creators for turning that great game into this horror. Be glad that I am not demanding my money back.

I tend to appreciate the ostensibly flawed aspects of some RTS/RTT games which either abaondon realism impossible to cultivate and allow AI behavior the quirks that effectively simulate unpredictable humans. This game has an embarrassment of riches in both, but well balanced on top of delightfully deep mechanics that are easy to overlook. Green troops crack easily under heavy fire. War is Hell...like really. The visceral realities scar souls, there's no way to realistically simulate that in a way that is remotely tasteful and facilitates recreational enjoyment. You have to pick your battles, and the stunning armor behavior mechanics, direct control, and wide diversity of assets are gems worth giggling through Germans with generic accents and delivery that phones the perfromance in without apology. The actual kinetic mechanics and material dynamics of things like armor penetration in this series are deeper than any I've seen, and my library is packed with this genre both here and on Steam. The legendary ricochet shot Sherman crews required to disable heavier Panther and Tiger models in a mid scale tactical simulator? That's the product of loving craftsmanship by developers who are first and foremost fans themselves. You can feel a hands on appreciation for why Germans called the Sherman "Tommycookers". This game bristles with features directed at history buffs with a deep knowledge of the nuts and bolts of the biggest of all enormous wars. The complexity mechanics blended with a respectful avoidance of the critical moral quandrys of the war allow you to play about with the many sides of this enormous conflict without donning the weight of ideologies best left in the dust bin of history. This is a game, not a joyless exploration of ethics and morality. Let the History Channel tediously relitigate sociopolitical issues. Just cook them Tommies.

Buy It, play It, Play It again!
