Men of War: Condemned Heroes

Men of War: Condemned Heroes had one of the most promising concepts in the series. Playing as a Soviet penal battalion through some of the harshest battles of the Eastern Front based on real historical events offered a refreshing perspective and had the potential to tell a much darker, more personal story than previous entries. Unfortunately, the execution falls short. The core Men of War gameplay is still enjoyable, and the Direct Control mechanic remains as satisfying as ever. However, the campaign focuses almost entirely on small infantry engagements, with little variety from one mission to the next. Too many objectives boil down to clearing another trench line or fortified position, and the difficulty often feels frustrating rather than rewarding. Compared to previous games, this standalone entry brings very little that feels genuinely new. While the historical setting is compelling and the atmosphere is solid, repetitive mission design and uneven pacing prevent it from reaching the standards set by earlier titles. I wouldn't call it a bad game, but it is one of the weaker entries in the franchise. If you're already a fan of Men of War, it's worth playing for its unique his…

Great game

Genuinly ♥♥♥♥ and ball torture probably the worst game in the series i hate it so much.

Oh boy where do i begin? Out of 13 missions, you are basically tasked to clear out enemy trenches and take out AA or AT guns in all of them, with some "defend this position for x amount of time" thrown in a couple of levels. I had fun in the first like 6-8 mission but starting from mission 9 the game becomes a chore to play. On paper the concept is solid, you are controlling the soviet penal battalion as they get sent into the worst meat grinder battles against overwhelming odds, often clearing the path for the main force to arrive and save the day, sounds good right? well its not. For starters, this game is NOT an RTS game, its a puzzle game. You get a handful of infantry and a couple of mortar squads (if you are lucky), you get absolutely no reinforcements to your units, so you get stuck with 10-20 people at max in a mission, having to complete it while the game throws 200-400 germans at you. I cannot stress it enough, this game wants to throw you into overwhelming odds and suicide missions but wont give you more than two squad of squishy infantrymen. Having to conserve your 20 men like they are some kind of special forces unit, while having absolutely nothing but a few rifles …
