I'm no stranger to clunky, complex or even tediously entertaining games, but this one is just on another level of unaproachable. There is a steep learning curve and then there is a learning vertical wall. Cupled with god-awful UI it becomes just completely unplayable without sinking hours into the tutorial, Youtube guides and manual, and I don't mean a couple, I mean tens of hours. I feel that this is a game only and exclusively for hardcore WW2 enthusiasts, the kind that knows which commander led which division into what village on 1941 November 26th. And even if you've got your WW2 tactical guide memorised you need about the same serving of intense study to understand mechanics and UI. I appreciate the detail and will to create a very detailed simulation but it really should have first and foremost been labelled as hardcore simulation and only then strategy. "Want to step into the role of a commander in the very heart of Kharkov’s defense?" No, I don't, I don't have the time nor will to spend 30h studying your UI and mechanics.13 found this helpful
Criminally underrated. Fantastic game with all the depth in the world.5 found this helpful
I have +500 hours in my older steam account, and the nostalgia brought me back. One of the best RTS ever made, i like it more than Mius Front. Even with older graphics and UI.2 found this helpful
Optimization for this game is horrid. I remember 10 years ago trying to play this on a gaming laptop and it struggled hard. Today I have one of the top gaming laptops created, and it struggles to run on my machine, so bad it's unplayable. The coding is obviously pretty bad.
Best wargame ever!
There is a time limit and you are not even given enough time to complete the engagement, these graviteam games all seem to have time limits, and I dont recommend buying any of these games from these idiotic devs, the reasoning they give for the time limit is so you will quickly engage the enemy but you are not even given enough time to do that, I have had it with their products.
