“Im glad i gave this game a try. I seen all the negative reviews and thought this game was crap. I enjoyed MWAS2 and GOH ostfront, and i enjoy Men of War 2 as well. If you like these other games and know that this game…”
“So im here to post a positive review. Ive only played a few hrs but as a GOH Ostfront veteran and old school SHOWW2 player I feel the haters and GOH fanboys have unjustly beat this game and Bestway down for no valid…”
“Seeing all the negative reviews is kind of shocking, its just a modern MoW with QoL and micro improvments as well as way better AI than the previous games and GoH. The dynamic campaings against AI are very cool.”

“As someone who both isn't the hugest RTS fan, and has RTS veteran friends to play this with, it is very fun! Most RTS WW2 games feel like they get really stressful, and don't get me wrong, MoW2 has those moments, but…”
“ion know what the fuzz is all about. i enjoy this game a ton. yea, undeniable you get some bad sides with there having just 3 factions, and the maybe a bit more arcade-y style compared to the previous ones, but the fun…”
“Its a shame this game was rejected. This game runs amazing and looks better then any of the other Men of war clones out there. I didnt like the frontlines game mode. I prefer the assault zones classic like in the…”

“I like Men of War 2. I play the Men of War games from time to time. When I play I usually get hooked and play for several days enjoying the trial and error of the single player missions. This game has it's own path to…”

“Game isnt even bad.. im thoroughly convinced the majority of negative reviews are from GoH fanboys. GoH is a travesty, the AI is trash, the performance is trash, the DLC practices are trash, and the devs are trash. This…”

“I really enjoy the fact its just not another war mmo. There is a lot of gaming options for single player gamers. I give it a 85/100”
“its a glorious game with great graphics, very realistic, it is a tactic game and with out using tactic, you wont complete a singke mission, tactics is the only way to win. this game has lots of content, you can either…”

“this is horrible... just play call to arms gates to hell ostfront and actually have fun instead”
“Do not buy. Waste of money. Don't even know why this game exists, didn't add any features onto MOW AS2, the campaign sucks and is overly difficult, not in a fun way. Tanks wont shoot unless theyre 5 feet in front of an…”

“Playing MOW assault squad 2 for nearly 300 hours i was so looking forward to what could be. What a waste it was. Terrible game for those who love the assault squad 2. They have tried to be like call to arms and them…”

“Small player base”
“I find the Conquest mode is actually and arguably more challenging than GoH. The Campaigns have stories to follow instead of generic skirmishes. I have to say that he game however often feels as if it wasnt playtested…”

“bad optimization , and forcing online-play is highly unreasonable.”
“Literally unplayable. Plays nothing like previous men of war game with butchered mechanics. The game is a grindfest. God forbid the enemy has 1 crew served, your entire force is wiped out instantly. And, worst of all,…”

“RTS usually aren’t my thing, way too fast. But this one? Total gem. Been grinding Conquest non-stop… seriously addictive. I am approaching this game with an open mind, despite the criticizm I read. Suggest everyone to do the same.”
— a player, Steam review · 5 hrs played“I skipped the campaign and jumped straight into 5v5 multiplayer on Men of War II with members of my gaming community. Six hours disappeared. At one point I held off a 12-tank push with a Panzer V A. I got battered. Constantly flanked. Under relentless pressure. But with support…”
— a player, Steam review · 38 hrs played“The game is a huge downgrade from Men of War Assault Squad 2. They removed the skirmish vs AI modes. You cannot fight to capture flags, or spawn units to fight with friends. They primarily focused on PVP combat amongst players which ruined the franchise.”
