Themes from a helpfulness-selected sample of Steam reviews, not the aggregate Steam score.
Lead American, British, Soviet, or German forces through 32 World War II missions. The campaigns put you in command of soldiers, vehicles, and military equipment during tactical operations.
Give orders from a top-down view or take Direct Control of an individual soldier or vehicle to move, aim, and fire manually. Use cover, stealth, and destructible surroundings to approach objectives and respond to enemy forces.
Manage ammunition and other limited resources as you adapt your tactics to each mission. The game also supports PvP and co-op multiplayer, and its editor lets players create maps or modify missions.
Players often praise the game as a memorable classic, with nostalgia especially common among those who played it earlier in life. Reviews also highlight the hands-on control of individual soldiers and vehicles, destructible environments, and small-scale tactical missions that reward improvisation. Some appreciate the updated edition’s modern-system support, while others find the challenge steep or the controls and interface dated.
