  • Nostalgic and charming game with a unique plastic soldier theme and imaginative environments.
  • Engaging campaign with a good mix of tactical action and strategy, featuring varied mission objectives and weapons.
  • Runs well on modern systems and preserves the classic feel and aesthetics of the original release.
  • Multiplayer and skirmish modes, which were a major part of the original experience, are missing in this version.
  • Clunky and awkward controls with poor mouse support and squad management issues lead to frustration.
  • Outdated graphics, stiff animations, and occasional AI or collision bugs detract from gameplay quality.
  • story
    29 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story centers on guiding Sgt. Hawk and squads through mission-based objectives to stop General Plastro, offering enough continuity and imaginative settings to maintain engagement without overshadowing gameplay. While the storyline has interesting potential and memorable missions, its execution is somewhat weak with minimal narrative impact and limited in-game storytelling. Players appreciate the nostalgic and fun missions but note the story is straightforward and lacks depth beyond basic mission progression.

    • “The storyline, centered around stopping General Plastro’s schemes, provides enough continuity to maintain engagement without overshadowing the gameplay itself.”
    • “Its imaginative environments, commitment to theme, and mission-driven structure give it personality that many contemporaries lacked.”
    • “Second game of an awesome franchise with an awesome story mode. Like before, you control a toy army and have to complete different tasks. If you liked the first one, for sure you will love this one too! Have fun and enjoy!”
    • “I bought this game expecting to play this last game mode... I completed the mission mode too many times when I was a kid, I just want some casual matches now.”
    • “I am disappointed they only way to play is story mode; they used to have a scrimmage mode that was pretty fun.”
    • “However, I finished the main story in a couple days and with the confusing removal of multiplayer there is not much else to do.”
  • gameplay
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay involves tactical navigation through hostile areas with objectives like eliminating enemies and securing points, blending RTS and top-down shooter elements. While the campaign offers engaging continuity, some mechanics feel finicky or outdated, such as squad control issues and removed multiplayer in certain versions. Overall, it presents a nostalgic yet improved experience with inventive maps, though certain audio and control aspects can detract from immersion.

    • “The gameplay centers on maneuvering through hostile territory, eliminating enemy patrols, securing key points, and completing specific tasks such as destroying installations or rescuing allies.”
    • “Army Men II is a much needed refinement of the very rough gameplay provided in the first game, and along with it brings very fun and inventive maps set in the 'real world'.”
    • “Nostalgic, but mechanics are bad now.”
    • “Sounds like an improvement, but for a realtime tactics game set in a war environment it's seriously unfitting and distracting as hell from the gameplay.”
    • “Gameplay is a little finicky, as you can't walk through squad mates and occasionally get stuck behind them (and controlling them is a bit of a hassle, which later titles rectify), but for most sections of the game you can solo it as Sarge and call up your troops whenever you feel like you need backup.”
  • graphics
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game, while clearly dated and designed for older square screens, remain charming and solid for their nearly 20-year age. Varied thematic environments add visual interest and tactical depth, contributing to an enduring, nostalgic appeal despite some outdated textures and AI. Overall, the visuals have aged well and complement the game's gameplay and atmosphere effectively.

    • “Instead of repeating similar backyard engagements, players move through varied thematic environments that alter both aesthetics and tactical considerations.”
    • “Some parts really show their age, the graphics of the game will instantly show how old it is, but despite being old it still is endearing.”
    • “As an adult, I can say with confidence that this game has aged well, mechanically and graphically.”
    • “Some parts really show their age; the graphics of the game instantly reveal how old it is. Despite being outdated, it still retains an endearing quality.”
    • “Although the graphics are out of date and your AI partners are not the smartest, some levels can be so difficult they make you want to pull your hair out. Underneath the flaws, there is a gem waiting to be played.”
    • “Graphics are solid for the age, considering the game is almost 20 years old.”
  • music
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music features a mix of energetic sound design with plastic-sounding gunfire and enthusiastic voice lines, alongside a classical soundtrack including composers like Wagner and Grieg. While many appreciate the unique and retro-inspired classical tunes, some users find the music low quality or odd, with opinions varying widely from enjoyable to detracting.

    • “Sound design complements this aesthetic with plastic-sounding gunfire, energetic music, and enthusiastic voice lines that give personality to Sarge and his comrades.”
    • “I love how the game's soundtrack is just comprised of classical music, like Richard Wagner, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Edvard Grieg, Gioachino Rossini.”
    • “If you're looking for a fun retro game with great music, get this one.”
    • “The music is no longer those military drumbeats throughout every level and is instead mostly low bitrate tunes of classical music.”
    • “Soundtrack is really bad, like bottom of the free music barrel bad, disabling music will resolve this.”
    • “Weird music choices, I don't know how to explain this, but it's not that bad.”
  • atmosphere
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere is whimsical and playful, driven by the contrast between tiny green soldiers and oversized human objects, creating a lighthearted battlefield setting. However, this comes at the expense of a gritty wartime feel, with characters delivering humorous quips and a more stylized tone.

    • “The contrast between small green soldiers and oversized human items continues to create a whimsical battlefield atmosphere.”
    • “They've kind of sacrificed the gritty wartime atmosphere, however, with Sarge sounding more badass and other soldiers having quips they often say.”
  • monetization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect heavily relies on collecting extensive personal and device identifiers, as well as tracking users' internet activity, gameplay data, and interactions with services and advertisements, raising potential privacy concerns.
