May 2025
Already on my list of favourite rts games after 4 hours of playing it. It captures WW1 very well, and is one of the only WW1 rts games i have evr found on steam (I have found 2, this one and another). It kind of feels like a repackaged Men of War with the loading screen, but it feels more original. It acts super similar to the original Men of War and if you played that, you would have fun playing this. The DLC aspect is kind of like HOI4, where you have to buy a new nation to play it in-game. Even though this sucks, I still find the prologue missions quite enjoying, and there are already some mods which add campaigns and missions to the game. Only downside is the creepy music in the main menu (idk why they put it in). Multiplayer also kind of doesn't work since no one actually plays it, but you can still make and join servers so you can join or battle your friends. Definitely would reccomend this.

I only recommend it for nostlgic & for old RTS style funs Overall i would recommend this game for any player who wants a good world war 1 strategy game and wants a good sequel to the men of war original.However this game is still undergoing developing so many things are prone to change to better (or to worse).

If you love history and wanted to command those WWI battles you loved learning about this game will not disappoint, it's like playing with digital toy soldiers like we did with the plastic ones when we were kids.
