It's an incredibly simple RTS. It's good and fun with friends. I don't get all the bad reviews. It's simple, graphically and gameplay wise and that's a good thing.

Pretty solid game. It is definitely not a traditional RTS. There's no base building, but more radically, every unit is the same in terms of power. Tanks are not directly more powerful than infantry. Don't get off the bus yet! Where they differ however is speed and maneuverability, as well as cost. And when firepower is taken out of the equation, those become much more important. Let's say your task is to take over Japan. You can quickly train slow moving infantry for cheap and potentially give the enemy time to build up their own forces, or you could build fast moving fighter squadrons at a higher price and try to hit the enemy early on before he/she can prepare a defense. Or for example you need to defend one of your cities against two armies. Do you send all your infantry against one at the risk of not being able to return in time to defend your city? Or do you send a smaller force of faster moving tanks to slow the other army down and buy time to bolster your defenses? It's a very unique style that I can't say I have seen in any other game.

I love this game because it is a very unique take on the rts genre. If you are looking for traditional base building, resource gathering, and specialized counter units, you should look elsewhere. This game is very simple and easy to learn the basics, but difficult ot master. Only 2 ground unit types, 2 air, and 2 sea. Each is 100% equal in strength to the other, so a $3.5B Bomber will be on equal footing with a $1B infantry unit. Once a battle starts there's not really much you can do to affect the outcome other than throw more units in. The key to this game is maneuvering. If an enemy is more poweful than you, the only way to win is to find where he's exposed and use faster, more expensive units, to go around their stronger forces to capture cities and hurt their economy, or attack isolated units before their main force catches up to whittle him down. I promise every single scenario is beatable if you find the right strategy. PROS Very unique Very simple yet still challenging Pretty good value, especially if on sale Multiplayer CONS Honestly won't be very fun until you get to the large scale scenarios, which can take a while No campaign Multiplayer never has anyone on it Very underrated game. If you're tired of traditional rts games and need something fresh, buy this game and give it a chance.

War, the Game takes strategy back to fundamentals. It doesn't give the user dozens of different options and force them to tackle complex systems. No, War is more elegant in it's execution and gives the player a limited scope, requiring them to use strategy to outthink their opponent rather than sneaking an attack by in a thousand layers of choices. Combat is abstract and requires the player to decide where to manuever and where to sacrifice. One feature I like about War is that no unit is better than another. Each adds exactly the same combat strength to a battle, but each unit has a unique ability. Tanks are fast, whereas Infantry can hunker down in defence. Fighters are some of the most powerful units, but there are a few principle zones they are limited to due to air field access. Bombers have further range, but cannot be based on carriers. All of this makes for a game that has the elegance of a game like chess or go. Highly reccomended for strategy fans.
