AI War 2

name feels stilted but gameplay is gripping. runs great and really does feel like you are 5 guys with AKs against the world (good)

Buggy RTS - also lots of details to absorb with minimal guidance. - not reccomended

No translation available. After completing the training, I understood the basic mechanics and controls. When I started the game, I captured the planets that, in my opinion, were worth getting a penalty for attracting the AI’s attention. I summoned some ancient evil, fought off enemy waves, hacked into databases, and at one point the game told me I had won. But I still didn’t understand what the game’s goal was. There’s no point in continuing to figure it out. I also didn’t like the interface.

This game is conceptually interesting but its insanely overwhelming as it throws everything at you all at once. There are tutorials but if you take a break and forget anything you're going to be completely lost the second you boot up a skirmish and be completely overwhelmed by everything that's going on all at once. I got this after playing Heart of the Machine and I was impressed by the way HotM eases you into its complexity with narrative guiderails that aren't completely restrictive. AI War 2 is nothing like that at all it throws you straight into the deep end.

Most unique 4x game I've ever played.

Hello and welcome to a review of AI War 2 in 2026 . If you can't be bothered to read tldr 5/10 . - the Good - 1) Solid ghimic with the AI enemy in every match 2) Loads and loads of ways to play 3) Ingame mods 4) Advanced map generation 5) Quite a few of minor factions 6) Reasonably cheap from key selling sites with all the dlc - the Bad - 1) Game is just dead . no community whatsoever this game has like 20 players 24 hour peak . 2) This is a sort of result of the previous point but because nobody plays this if you want to get into it its extremely hard since there are no resources online for this game at all , nevermind tutorials / guides . 3) Very Overwhelming . While not as overwhelming as maybe stellaris for an rts game the skill floor is through the roof , especially compared to age of empires and starcraft . - the Ugly - 1) UI is ...... very meh . 2) Even if you do get into it then the average campaign will still take you almost civilization levels of time . 3) Pathing is functional but it is clear that it had to be partially sacrifised to compensate for so large systems . - Conlusion - This is definitely worth …
