This is what an expansion used be 10-15 years ago. It adds 2 linear campaigns for both the Germans and the Americans. On top of that you get 2 small chapters + a dozen cool maps that take place during the Spanish Civil War to Khalkin Gol and some other battles that couldn't be covered in the base game. Mogs on Blitzkrieg 2 tenfold.
Insane difficulty spike, one time you'll be barely scraping by to get new units. Then the AI will just come out of nowhere and squash you.
Today Steel Division 2, tomorrow Graciteam Tactics.
I got this game on Steam last year and managed to dunk nearly 60 hours into it in the span of a month. Visually this game looks like a painting, you can easily pause at any moment where there are troops on screen at it would look amazing. Every nation speaks its own language, the OST is a bit lacking but who cares ? It isn't an RTS, it is classified as an RTT, you put waaay more emphasis on positioning and timing your attacks properly. You have to guard your trucks as well since they are the backbone of your forces. You loose a heavy truck, you loose on logistical support for your guns and armor. You loose a transport truck ? Infantry is screwed. Pro tip: to successfully assault trenches, use 2-3 trucks behind your infantry and set them to refill squads. So while attacking with your infantry, you may preserve the attacking unit and keep on the offensive. The game has 3 major campaigns and an expansion with 2 story driven campaigns. Main ones are the: Allies, you get a mix of Bri'ish, French and American units depending on which of the war you are in. The Soviets and the Germans. No Japan sadly :( And you get to play as Patton and Rommel during the expansion, The GoG version also comes with some bug fixes and a bunch of custom maps "The Iron Division" which were made by the same guys who made the expansion. And it's the reaspn why I have the game twice. Beyond that, don't play Blitzkrieg 2, it's not as good as this one. Codename Panzers is also not up to snuff. This, Sudden Strike and Men of War AS2 and GoH is where it's at.
It's a Panzer Corps game but in WH40K and is set in one of the all time best stories to have come out from 40K. So, is it good ? No. The story feels rushed, the VAs feel uninspired(especially the the funny hairstyle woman). The invasion has like, 5 voicelines with almost no set-up. The orks just appear and it just... happens... lol. The funny hairstyle chick lost her parents boohoo. It has taken nothing from Panzer Corps as well, no Marginal/Decisive victory isn't there. Core units just die. Badly explained armor system, each vehicle has 2 HP bars and you don't understand what happens when you shoot at one. The game sometimes doesn't even give you resources at the start of each mission, even worse than Panzer Corps. No advanced setting, no nothing lol. Seeing as this trash fire is old, I guess I can only warn you not waste your cash on this.
This is just a good looking 3D RTT game, nothing else. It doesn't live up to Blitzkrieg 1 and it's a painful slog to play through.
Sudden Strike copied this game waay too much for some reason
Very in-depth, but sometimes it's just frustrating for no reason. Watch some tutorials and guides so you can get the hang of it.
Easy to learn, good game tbf.
Low tier brainrot trash. Campaign is just virtue signalling mixed with Hollywood movie logic. Mechs feel badly implomented and don't live up to their potential. Meta is just based on getting to advanced workshop as fast as possible and spamming the strongest robot around. Very limited building mechanics. It copies CoH but in ways that don't make sense. The only 2 good things in this is the coop and the conquest mode and that's it. Buy it on sale with a buddy so you can atleast laught at the low tier logic in this game. Otherwise stay away, the game is dead for a reason.
