A minimum of innovations will envenom the gamers who know the original. The newcomers will gnash their teeth because the game lacks a meaningful tutorial, with a learning curve that would make even zen master cry. Even though Men of War: Assault Squad 2 is rather difficult, it is an entertaining simulation of war chaos nonetheless.
Men of War: Assault Squad 2 is exactly what you expect from a game in a series known for its extreme hardcore, unforgiving and frustrating strategy titles. Of course there is nothing wrong with that, but because of that is it fun for only a very limited group of players. With better control and some tutorials for beginners, it would be more accessible without losing out on difficulty. The new multiplayer mode where you play 8 versus 8 is a nice addition that makes the game even more chaotic and complex. That is where the game shines, because the singleplayer adds nothing to what the series already did before.
SummaryMen of War: Assault Squad 2 features new single player style skirmish modes that take players from extreme tank combat to deadly sniper stealth missions.
