Games like men of war?
« on: April 03, 2011, 09:29:36 am »

im just wondering after playing Men of war a lot are there any other games like it?

cause i really like the realism to it and it being more tactics and keeping you men rather than spamming a lot of units.

If you liked Men of War you might like Soldiers: Heroes of World War 2.

It's made by the same people and is essentially Men of War before it became Men of War... and with smaller unit tactics.

I've never played the game myself, but... yeah.

Other than that Men of War is unique. The closest thing that comes to it is nothing.

yeah i have seen both of them games and have Hero's of world war 2, its ok :)

and the close combat series seems good as well.

also i have found this: Achtung Panzer: Kharkov 1943 which seems to be a really good game and more in depth than men of war!, but damn is it hard to get hold of :P, anyone else heard of this game? or played it?

I haven't heard of that game.

Another game just came to mind: Theater of War. I don't know anything about it though.

+1

Though IMO the older games are better than Shock Force and it's modules. The scenario editor in SF is kinda frustrating to use as well (choosing units especially).

I kinda figured that wouldn't even need mentioning, considering it -is- Men of War.

Men of War: Assault Squad is improved version of Men of War.

I second this; it balances out alot of things, makes sweeping improvements across the board especially where infantry AI is concerned. It ramps up AT guns so they're alot more useful, and improves infantry by a large margin for all armies, the only thing I'm slightly concerned with balance-wise are the hero units for each army. Other than that, Assault Squad improves on Men Of War in alot of ways beyond said ways that I mentioned and is yet to leave beta testing. I recommend giving it a go.

For those interested in watching really good, amusing, and informative shoutcasts about MoW, I highly, highly recommend TychoCelchuu's channel on youtube.

I'm not sure, I think you can buy it through Battlefront's site.

I'm kinda disappointed that you can only get the US (and germans, naturally) at first, and other nations will come through these 'modules'. I hate DLC like this, especially as they included all nations right away with the old games.
