story3 negative mentions
  • The game has a solid tactical foundation with enjoyable real-time combat and combined arms gameplay that reminds players of Close Combat and Steel Division.
  • It is accessible and easy to learn with relatively simple controls and mechanics, offering a fresh pace compared to other WWII strategy games.
  • The developer is responsive and actively improving the game, adding more maps, factions, and features, with the dynamic campaign receiving positive remarks.
  • Performance issues and lack of optimization cause low frame rates and lag, impacting gameplay smoothness.
  • Several UI and gameplay mechanics are clunky or incomplete, including poor unit information, confusing campaign mechanics, and lack of important features like unit grouping and proper deployment.
  • The AI and combat balance need significant improvement—AI lacks tactical awareness, some units are unbalanced, and the spotting and indirect fire system can be exploited, reducing tactical variety.

  • gameplay

    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    19% positive mentions, 62% neutral mentions, 19% negative mentions

    The gameplay offers a solid foundation with deep, accessible controls and strategic elements, though it currently lacks certain features and balance, such as effective unit grouping, infantry mechanics, and counterplay options. While the campaign mode is engaging albeit initially confusing, the overall experience can feel repetitive or limited due to missing content and exploitable mechanics. With improvements in combat balance, AI, and additional content, the gameplay has strong potential to become more compelling and tactically diverse.

    • “There is still a ways to go and you can see much will be added (no anti-tank guns for now, for example), but the gameplay is really fun.”
    • “Great game so far, it has deep but not hard to use controls and mechanics, allows for force customization on the go, similar to other wargame titles, campaign is good, simple enough to not become a 4x, and the manpower/resource use is great.”
    • “More maps, a new army, and gameplay refinements have all built on the existing base.”
    • “At its core, the game feels like it could evolve into something genuinely compelling—but right now, it’s held back by several major gameplay issues.”
    • “This creates a meta where players can exploit spotting mechanics and rely heavily on indirect fire, which feels unfair and reduces tactical variety.”
    • “Enemy detection mechanics make offensive play frustrating, often forcing players into a defensive posture even when they initiate attacks.”

  • graphics

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The graphics are detailed and functional, providing smooth performance even on older computers at 1080p, with an emphasis on practicality over photorealism. Users appreciate the quality of the maps and suggest further optimization or additional graphic options for customization. Overall, the visuals are pleasing but prioritize gameplay usability rather than cutting-edge visuals.

    • “I have an old six year old computer and it runs around 35-40 fps smoothly on high graphics 1080p / 1920x1080. You do not need 100fps on a game like this; it's not a racing sim.”
    • “Graphics are very nice as are the maps, and more maps are coming.”
    • “The graphics are detailed enough but not "fps realistic" — think nice, functional rather than "omfg that's so pretty!"”
    • “Either optimise the game or add more graphic options for player to change”
    • “The graphics are detailed enough but not 'fps realistic'; think nice functional rather than 'omfg that's so pretty!'”
    • “Could include a topographic overlay”

  • story

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 50% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The story aspect is seen as underdeveloped, with limited content and a focus on accessibility over depth. Players feel the game prioritizes adding new units and features before refining the base experience, resulting in a narrative and mission structure that lacks complexity and engagement.

    • “No multi-story buildings or mechanics, which limits depth in the story environments.”
    • “The roadmap focuses on new missions and units, but the base game still needs work before adding more content.”
    • “Aside from barely having any content, the gameplay lacks depth, feedback, and accessibility, which impacts the overall story experience.”

  • optimization

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The optimization aspect faces criticism due to underperforming tank machine guns, which limit tanks' effectiveness against infantry even in open combat. Improvements in this area are anticipated to enhance gameplay balance.

    • “Tanks, for example, struggle to effectively deal with infantry—even when those infantry are caught in the open—largely due to underwhelming machine gun performance.”
    • “Hopefully these can be resolved with better optimization.”

  • atmosphere

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Users appreciate the game's effort to create an immersive atmosphere, especially valuing responsive squad communications under fire. While the atmosphere shows promise compared to titles like Graviteam Tactics or Close Combat, it still falls short of the depth found in Company of Heroes. Overall, the game is seen as a step forward but not yet fully capturing the desired intensity.

    • “It's all about atmosphere - a vehicle or squad should respond anxiously on comms when under fire, etc.”
    • “I'd love a game that is a mix between Graviteam Tactics/Close Combat but with the atmosphere of Company of Heroes; this game is not it, but it is a step in the right direction.”
