One of the key areas of the original being its carefully designed battles that gave the player a freedom despite its scripted nature. Compared to Vanilla Men of War single player/co-op fails to be as fun or actually challenging in ways other than to time and sense. Examples being units wondering around aimlessly or not at all when called into battle, AI driving over its own defences and getting stuck. Path finding is pathetic (no improvement from original) and should be better after all the years and needs to be corrected or even slightly improved. Each skirmish map is a copy paste of the last, sticking the player into a new environment that despite being graphically impressive is mostly old scenery rearranged from the Vanilla game. Skirmish mode is liner and repetitive with little in the way of grand tactical challenge, options being grab and hold ground like an enormous Pac Man made up of dozens of little screaming soldiers and chomp your way through a horde of enemy units that flood down a narrow battlefield limiting any concept of manoeuvre (a key aspect to any battle). Many features such as skirmish mode have big design flaws as well as disastrous bugs that linger from older titles yet should have been the attention of developers. However this edition of the Men of War product is in my opinion failing to evolve and in many areas devolving instead. In itself it's a good thing, a process of evolution from one title to the next.

Now people may consider that a harsh thing to say, as veterans of the series will know that that's nothing new in the series and in fact most of the games current features, vehicles & units have all had previous lives all the way back to the aforementioned 'Soldiers'. Firstly the game is virtually a copy paste from the 'Vanilla' Men of War game. Having been a big Men of War fan and enthusiastic modder ever since 'Soldiers Heroes of WW2' and subsequent games all unusually having Having been a big Men of War fan and enthusiastic modder ever since 'Soldiers Heroes of WW2' and subsequent games all unusually having different titles yet sharing a great deal in common in game engine and style of game play, I was rather surprised by the final result of Men of War: Assault Squad. It features one of the single-player skirmish maps and will give you a great sense of what Men of War Assault Squad is all about. It seems to be a left over relic from the earlier Men of War games which were based more on small squad oriented gameplay (like the Commando's series.) Final Thoughts: What 1C was able to create here is a truly impressive feat and I highly recommend at least giving the demo a try.
Really, its too complex and tedious for a real-time strategy game on this scale. Probably its only true weakness is the game suffers from some unnecessarily complex resupply mechanics. In that sense it can be considered a more of a multi-player centric experience (either against other humans coop with friend(s) against the AI or you taking on a single AI solo). Doesn't feature a true single player narrative campaign, but rather a "skirmish" game-mode when it comes to single-player. Comes with a decent but far from perfect user-interface. Not here! - Features extremely impressive cover based (best I've ever seen), destruction, and combat systems superior to its direct competitor (Company of Heroes) with a graphical engine that can be considered its equal if not greater due to a more pleasing zoomed out camera in Men of War. Very refreshing since most RTS games on the market tend to boil down to a simple blob-based brute force combat system. Quick Summary: - Tactical, strategic, detailed, complex, challenging, and realistic style of game-play where battles actually feel like war, troops feel like individual soldiers, and you will feel like a great general coordinating it all.
