War-themed hat scavenging simulator Men Of War is a sequence we haven’t talked about for some time, but it surely’s taking one other foray past the bounds of its conventional World War Two setting at the moment.
Men Of War: Assault Squad 2 – Cold War, a title I lengthy to sarcastically add extra punctuation to, is out now, and guarantees singleplayer, cooperative, and aggressive yankee/soviet warbangs, and a model new dynamic marketing campaign generator. Some ideas, reservations, and traily bits observe.
Ayup. That’s some Men Of War, alright. The super-granular battling sequence’s defining characteristic is the power to straight management any unit at any time. Tanks, static weapons, even the unarmed penal conscripts in that one stage of the Soviet marketing campaign. It works remarkably properly, and the Assault Squad sequence scales issues all the way down to make them extra manageable, however none of them diminished the quantity of babysitting wanted in longer fights. Since the very first game, troopers have proven no initiative in fetching ammunition, and it’s cool that your hat can get shot off however you then have to inform them to place it again on, the divs.
There’s a cause why Jim Rossignol (me neither) called its last big entry “a wonderful ogre”. There’s no phrase on what, if any enhancements in that space will include Cold War, however there are glimpses of a brand new interface in that trailer a minimum of.
Of particular curiosity are the dynamic campaigns, which “make singleplayer and co-op extremely replayable, with randomized skirmishes and custom army compositions”. And I suppose you may actually need some post-WWII superpower scuffles, though it slightly misses the historic level to have the US and USSR overtly capturing at one another. Get some partisans, lads. They’ll do all of it for you, with no long-term penalties.
Men Of War: Assault Squad 2 – Cold War is out now on Steam. A 10% launch low cost brings it to £17.99/€19.79/$22.49 till subsequent Thursday.
