Themes from a helpfulness-selected sample of Steam reviews, not the aggregate Steam score.
Set across World War II battlefields, the game puts you in command of infantry and vehicles from five factions. Missions focus on tactical engagements rather than building and developing a base.
Position units, use cover, and coordinate infantry with armor to take objectives and fight enemy forces. Soldiers and vehicles have inventories and ammunition to manage; troops can scavenge equipment, and damaged vehicles can be repaired. You can also take direct control of an individual soldier or vehicle.
Play single-player missions and skirmishes, or join multiplayer battles and co-op skirmishes. The game includes a mission and map editor, Workshop support for user-made content, and multiplayer progression.
Players often enjoy the detailed tactical control, especially switching from commanding squads to controlling an individual soldier or vehicle. Reviews also praise the destructible battlefields and equipment systems, while Workshop mods are frequently credited with adding variety and replay value. Some players also highlight the missions and co-op battles; others find the game demanding or technically rough.
