“Recent changes to artillery are good and add gameplay depth and counterplay to a previously brainless unit type. Ignore the whingers”
“Very good game with as much or as little depth as you like, a solid variety of both single and multi player game modes and a healthy modding community. One of my favourite games I've ever played and one I didn't know I…”
“Want an RTS game with a Cold War vibe, but maybe not too realistic? This may make your day. Do you like Team Yankee, whether it's the novel or the tabletop game? Welcome to Team Yankee: The RTS. This will probably make…”

“The arty rework, although it definitely needs some tweaks, I still say it's a good start for 10V10 players. At least you don't need to see 10 anime waifu stack playing uncountable arty and completely wipe your team out…”
“By far, the most enjoyable aspect of WARNO has been how units interact with one another as to make even small skirmishes engaging and hard to predict. Good micro, positioning and decision making will often turn the…”
“Very fun but can be daunting to learn for someone new to RTS. Definitely worth it though, even if you're a single player only person. The vanilla experience can be a little lacking in immersion due to unrealistic…”

“This game is beautiful, has insane replayability and devs are always releasing new content and update/patches. If you're into RTS, I'm sure you'll enjoy it!”

“The graphics are WAY better than wargame, and the urban gameplay is a lot more in depth too”

“Running flawless, I am enjoying it. Against Bots for now, looking forward to PvP once I get decent, eventually.”
“This game is an RTS for people who want to play steel division but instead of using slow and archaic like a dive bomber or assault guns instead warno gives you access to supersonic jets with laser guided bombs and…”
“as a new player so far, very fun game, but multiplayer is unforgiving. i got 0 kills in a 10v10 but had fun doing so. also runs surprisingly well”

“It's like toy soliders and chess had a little love-child. Online community can be unwelcoming if you have no clue what you're doing. Playing casually with/against friends is solid fun though if you're into real-time…”
“One of the best games I've ever played. Both single and multiplayer are incredibly fun with a bit of tactical complexity. I came here from Squad and was smitten immediately. I used to exclusively command & squad lead,…”
“Fun strategy game with fast matchmaking on public multiplayer. Worth the buy.”

“I don't know who decided to add this arty rework from Eugen, but they actually need to be removed from any balancing decision for any game permanently.”
“Latest update is the biggest L in this history of this amazing game. Artillery now has a blanket rule of ALL arty getting a 10 sec set up and 25 sec pack up. MAKING ARTY USELESS. Howitzers and MLRS's. Now, first why? A…”
“This is the most disappointing major update for me, and it has even made me very angry. This artillery mechanic overhaul is completely detached from the game's actual needs, recklessly and irrationally altering the core…”

“I’d like to ask: what exactly have you done with game balance? Are you even serious about developing your game? Does buying your extra content guarantee victory? The more you purchase these add‑ons, the easier it is to…”
“Imagine Wargame: Red Dragon with less content, despite having DLCs worth 6x the price of the main game and constant updates ruining your gameplay style.”

“The developers and the playtest team are all vanilla players who don't actually play the game. The artillery changes are completely unthoughtful.For the artillery adjustments, they could have chosen to extend the aiming…”
“Disgusting use of generative AI when it comes both to "artworks" and character voice overs. This review will stand negative until it's removed.”

“This game is amazing, but you have to know real strategy to play it. I'm more of a relaxed gamer, I don't want to do homework on what equipment to use. I work a 6-6 job and would rather play something easier. IDK..…”

“$124 USD for all the DLC content. This is absolutely trash and shouldn't be acceptable. As you can see by my hours played, I absolutely love this game! Its such a cool game! But Eugen is a awful company. Eugen does NOT…”
“Honestly far far better than Wargame Red Dragon. Would recommend, though, wait for a sale, it's pricey and the DLCs are pricier.”

“Watching people whinge and moan about the artillery rework is disappointing to see. Artillery used to be one of the most easily spammable things in the game with very little counter-play as you would queue up the movement order with the fire mission, and if you did it right your…”

— a player, Steam review · 115 hrs played“WARNO was in Early Access for forever, and yet Eugen still treats the live version like the real test server. For old players, this is the same old Eugen cycle all over again. Half-finished mechanics get shoved into the game, players become unpaid QA, and somehow we are expected…”
