Battle of Empires : 1914-1918

Battle of Empires: 1914–1918, developed by Great War Team and published by Best Way Soft, is a real-time tactics game that commits fully to portraying the harsh, methodical nature of World War I combat. Rather than following the fast-paced conventions of traditional real-time strategy games, it adopts a slower, more deliberate approach that emphasizes positioning, resource awareness, and careful planning. Built on mechanics reminiscent of the Men of War series, it places players in control of individual soldiers and squads within highly detailed battlefields, where every decision carries weight and mistakes are often costly. One of the defining features of the game is its granular level of control. Players can issue commands to entire groups or zoom in to directly manage individual soldiers, handling their inventories, weapons, and even ammunition. This system creates a strong sense of immersion, as units are not abstract representations but tangible entities with specific capabilities and limitations. The ability to scavenge equipment from fallen soldiers or reposition heavy weapons adds another layer of tactical depth, encouraging players to think creatively in the middle of com…

Very fun game when you're not softlocked by the mandatory, very tedious and incredibly annoying stealth segments at the start of many missions in the campaign, very poor level design on the part of the developers that serves only to keep people from accessing the great fun this game has to offer.

tbh if youve got some extra money lying around and want a simple kind of funny bad ww1 narrative than id suggest this but be aware if you buy just the game without any faction packs you can only play the intro mission for each faction which is very jarring and leaves little in ways of content but otherwise i had maybe 1 crash in my time played and i recommend this for its cheap price.

Like Men of War series, you can take direct control (WASD, click to fire/ click to throw knife / axe) of every troop, vehicle, EVEN CARRIAGE HORSES. What's not to like? If you have WAND installed, for experiment, the results are hilarious when you can bounce all over when hit with explosive, get shot, get up and fight again. Don't foget to pick up your weapons, dynamite and knives if you drop them on the ground. The only problem is the fluidity of knife kill by close-up is very hard to control even with direct control.

Great ww1 game

happy baby
