It's a great game. Takes a lot of getting used to

I'd call it Chess with Mechs!

The game runs terribly even with all settings turned down. Have fun trapping ghosts when your FPS drops to 10.

Who you gonna call?

STEAM REFUNDS!

Has no option to change the default windows audio setting. Stuff that. I'm on wireless headphones that bug out in game now.

I love TNG and Star Trek. So what can I say about this game?

It's friggin awesome and has a good tutorial. The only blemish I have to say is the UI can be a bit blurry to read.

Other than that, I've already sunk 7 hours into this game and am having a blast!

Not a fan. I am a big fan of SD2 and I was very excited about this game. However, my feeling with this game is that this is much more like red dragon than Steel division.

There is no front line mechanic in this game. Tanks can move in all forest types (light and heavy), which is weird.

Without recon you will see absolutely nothing. Which is a pain because people like to creep recon AT in the backline and shoot up all your artillery. Due to no frontline mechanic, you will not be aware of when this happens until your artillery is dead.

After 1,500 hours in this game I thought it would be best to give this a re-review.

I can't honestly give this game a thumbs down, because I play it and love it so much.

We perhaps need a sideways thumb.

My biggest gripes with this game:

The devs advocate that they are trying to make this game historically accurate however ignore the following:

1) King Tiger availability in 10v10. Only 490 King Tigers were ever made in WW2, but in a 10v10 game every single Axis player can bring a KT div in and you literally can be fighting 10 KTs in a single game.

2) The cost of allied tanks is not properly balanced. 34,000 T-34 85s were produced in WW2 and 6,000 Panthers, but in game Panthers cost 150 and T-34 85s 110. The ratios are wrong.

3) They recently nerfed two allied King Tiger counters in the game. The SU-152 which they increased the cost by 10 points from 60 - 70. They also nerfed 81mm radio mortars on the allied side, they fire slower and less accurately (a useful counter to KTs in the game).

4) They openly refuse to introduce the M26 Pershing to the allies, because it's not within the historical story-line of Operation Bragation. However, we have Western Divisions in the game.

5) They have not introduced a re-connect button to the community after several pleas from the community. If you suddenly get disconnected from a game, you cannot ever rejoin the game.

6) They do not make new multiplayer maps for the community, because they won't get paid to do so. IE make a new map only open to people who pay will divide the community, so they don't make new maps and only focus on DLC where they reskin old units and introduce a few new ones with new voice acting.

Other than that, the game is great and is the only viable WW2 RTS I play due to the scale and amount of units/weapons available.

Enjoy!

I wish there was a sideways thumb. This game is great! The campaign is compelling. But SWARM is mediocre and I fear the community will get bored once they finish the game on veteran.

Great pick and play game. Still haven't won my crown though!

This is not a pick up and play sort of game. The tutorial's are not very good either.

Overhyped and not worth $30USD at the moment IMO. I've requested and received a refund.

Poorly optimised and a rinse repeat of jump out of a plane run here, loot, shoot people, die....

Gaming community thinks this is great? lol
