Playing Assault Squad has led – via the complexity of managing our little men – to some of the most inventive and heroic game events I have ever seen.
It's precisely this depth that makes the game so rewarding, too, of course. In a battle with hundreds of units, this can become breathtakingly tricky. Their positioning, their retreats and often, even, their specific ammo and targeting, must be managed by you. And while these tiny heroes will shoot and take cover and dive away from grenades (sometimes) they do require meticulous management. You responsibility is not for resource collection or base building, but simply for the men on the field. Dozens of units, destructible scenery, intricate physics modelling. Men Of War is, in many ways, a technical marvel. That original template is one of pure tactics, high fiddliness, and extreme precision. Assault Squad does not deviate far from the template of its origin, and for that I am thankful. I have spent more happy hours with it than any other. The original Men Of War, I should probably admit, is the real-time strategy that interests me most of all. But there are some caveats to that, obviously. The fifteen skirmish maps are all excellent, and are close to constituting a new campaign in their own right. Up front I want to say one thing: people who were worried about the skirmish and multi-player focus detracting from the single-player challenge have nothing to fret about.
MEN OF WAR ASSAULT SQUAD MODS INFINITE POINTS FULL
I've already been spending a lot of time on the beta, but now we've been able to look at the full thing. We were lucky enough to be the first publication to get our hands on the complete build of Men Of War: Assault Squad, and I've been reviewing the hell out of it.
A little bit of a world exclusive, this one.
