Masterpiece of real time strategy. Steep learning curve but very rewarding experience. Runs well on old hardware or at 4k

More than a worthy game of its genre. An extensive option of strategies and tactics, something that is missing in most rts. The main feature is quite thoughtful gameplay, the player does not need a cockroach or a korean reaction, therefore, a beginner having mastered a couple of basic points may well outplay even a veteran player. Recommended for playing with friends.

Solid selection of units support a strong strategy game. Visuals are good, UI and feedback takes a while to get used to.

immersion: Immersion is generated through player agency, and combat primarilly. The game world serves immersion only as an extension of combat. Players are able to custom design their regiments/task forces with detailed data on each unit and multiple transports for the same unit making each unit slightly different from even the others in the same type and kind of unit. These contribute to a feeling of involvement with the task force (10/15)
Difficulty: Difficulty is adjustable, very coarsely only. Additionally, a lack of precise tutorials also contribute to the difficulty. This contributes to a sensation that the game is difficult as much because the user doesn't know how to execute commands as much as the base difficulty. This lack of information drags the game down, players shouldn't feel like there is a great game they're missing out on because they don't understand enough (6/15)
lasting appeal: If the game does not grab the player immediately and inspire them to look for better tutorials the game will not last long at all. If the player does seek tutorials and let's plays the game will have staying power for about 3 months. This makes the game mostly average in lasting appeal. Customisation would help but the player must be interested enough to persevere(6/15)
overall 7.3/15 slightly below average.

First there is a very poor tutorial if you are new it's going to be hell to understand the game suffers from a non-comprehensive type of gameplay and a steep learning curve. Some times it feels like you have to play with a textbook and the micromanagement is atrocious. The notification system is poorly created by the developer it's difficult to understand what is going on during battles it's chaos everyone shooting and randomly some units are destroyed. Many units feel unbalanced for example old AA machine guns can destroy planes easier than ant-air missiles the game tries hard to be as realistic as possible but fails miserable. Some units feel unresponsive you tell them to attack and they do that in very slow motion (not sure if this is a bug or a stupid gameplay mechanic) The game is NOT entertaining it's not your typical strategy game and not in a good way.

Alright, i am pretty much a RTS freak, so of course i had to check the wargame series.
It was an unpleasant first experience, because i got pretty much destroyed at the start of the easiest campaign.
Anyway, i played it for hours, figuring it out, watching youtubevids, until i got a decent knack for it.
As stated often, you dont play this game for the singleplayer. It is rather boring, even annoying, when you play on the same map for the 5. time, it feels like the campaign doesnt make progress.
Anyway, a big bonus here are the starting videos, creating a nice atmosphere.
The multiplayer is actual fun, be it against AI opponents or actual human opponents.
But there are a couple of things that i need to mention that lead to a position that i cant rate this game above 4/10:
The realism. You expect this game to be realistic, but is not. Sometimes weird things happen without you realizing why.
Here are the 2 examples that stuck the most:
Tanks run out of fuel after like 5 KM. This just doesnt make any sense, even if they were using the roads, on the big maps tanks are not able to cross the map diagonal even once.
The vision of the units. As stated, in the campaign you fight several times on the same map, me even more since i had to restart the first campaign a couple of time.
I just couldnt explain myself why my infantry got so utterly destroyed by my opponents, even if i chose the ones specifically against enemy armor.
Well here is the solution: I had no scout unit nearby. Even with no tree, an enemy tank on an open bridge close to the city my infantry was in, will not be attacked until a freaking scout unit is nearby. Then suddenly my infantry crushed the enemy armor. It was a joke.
It may sound like little stuff, but it just keeps piling up.
However, it was an engaging experience, and the game is definitely worth a shot.
