  Game is older and some things like voice acting are terrible but overall it is great portrayal of WW1 battles and authenticity with uniforms, weaponry and missions..Many DLC-s with most of the major and more important minor armies and also some great mods make this game a must play for all WW1 lovers

  TL;DR Men of War, but World War One RTS. 9/10 The campaign plays brilliantly like the original MoW.. It provides differeniating scenarios in which you may attack, defend, use stealth or a mixture of all of them to complete your objectives. The multiplayer is currently limited to Front Lines and Co-Op however I believe there are plans to roll out additional game modes (Such as Domination and TDM). The graphics are fine, and the weaponry and uniforms are fitting to the era. You may play as the British, French, Germans or Russians, and play against eachother online in any combination. Furthermore, the game now focuses on strategy on a larger scale as opposed to the traditional MoW games. Micro-management can still be the decider of battles online and on singleplayer and can be the difference between a crushing defeat or a stunning victory.

  Positive: - you can realize your dream of being an irresponsibile WW1 commander and frontally charge MG positions with bayonet attached - same MOW engine, the old one, the smooth one :-) - Some new features are awesome: screen shakes after artillery strike and shrapnel granades for cannons - Units are well designed and it is clear that a lot of work has been put into the game - The game has single player campaign, real campaign, not skirmishes - soldiers will die with a single rifle bullet if hit Negative: - multiplayer is not that populated and the enviroment is usal MOW one. Expect host rage, quitters and disconnections. Frontline is the only game mode which is ok for WW1. - WW1 can not give the same game deepness of WW2. Expect to have fun with the game but it will be soon repetitive. - there is no automatic way to set the same controls as MOWAS which is the most popular game of the brand I will update if something change as this is only early access review.

  [DISCLAIMER: The following review was last updated in 2015, the gameplay may have changed since then.] Do I recommend this game? As it looks now, no. Unless you want to support the developers, which may or may not help them fix the issues I've encountered below. Don't count on it. This is going to be my first serious review ever made, because it is needed. First off, let me explain my experience with the Men of War franchise. I was an ex-modder for Men of War, Men of War Vietnam and Men of War Assault Squad as well as the head of the Men of War Fanclub on moddb.com You may know me as craftan99. This is important to note so that you will know how much knowledge I have of how the game engine works and how it's assets is used. I have safely over 1000+ hours on Men of War offline back when It was a retail version. Now, on to the game. The developers of this game, "The Great War Team", have claimed that the single player is finished. However, this is not the case. There are several localization issues where items and weapons miss names. The writing of the dialogues are awful and usually the voice acting and subtitles don't match to what they're saying and some dialogue is recorded with a very poor microphone. Also, little is explained as how to accomplish certain objectives without much direction as to what is required to do certain objectives. Some times you need certain items and it's a pain if you've somehow don't have that item because you dropped it somewhere. The game is also very lacking in Sound Assets, or maybe lacking isn't the word to use. I'd say that it has poor quality. Some guns sound very off when it comes to some kind of noise feedback that is in the background. Horses galopping is also a great example at terrible sound. This series is known to have bad voice acting as Men of War's developers had the same issue. However, I don't know if "The Great War Team" was even responsible for the voice acting or if they asked for support from the main developers of the franchise. In any case, it needs to be redone completely. There are tons of people who would volounteer without payment. Websites like behindthevoiceactors.com let's people try out for voice roles. Why they didn't do this, beats me. The mission designs aren't the best either, they aren't very consistent and stealth is usually a hard task, but it is possible. However, stealth missions are rather tedious. Speaking of difficulty and missions, I always found the defense missions in the French and Russian campaigns to be extremely easy to complete. I think it's because the waves of enemies where so small that they were easily fended off. When it comes to balancing, the artillery reload speed need to be longer and the infantry sprint endurance bar needs to be longer. Either that or faster recharges on the bar. Artillery HE rounds could also use some balancing to maybe lower the AoE just a bit, I always found the artillery redicioulously overpowered. Even with realism, balancing is needed to make the experience more fun and engaging. Artillery spam is hardly fun. Tanks are perfectly balanced in my opinion and I don't see much needed in the ways of improving that. This wasn't much of a review as it is explaining what this game needs to fix. Even if this is in Early Access, these are things that have been overlooked and should be completely redone. Basically: * The Campaign is not finished, even if the developers claim it is. * Awful writing. * Awfully easy defense missions where the waves are too small. * Poor sound assets with bad voiceacting. * Some icons have bad artwork. * Localization issues. * Tedious Stealth Missions. * Balancing Issues. Suggestions: * Add realistic color to the mustard gas, yellow. * Add more types of gas and apply equally realistic color. (White Cross, Green Cross and Blue Cross.) * Add more unit types to Multiplayer. (Bavarian Infantry, French Chasseurs, Canadian Royal Rifles, White Russian Guard) * Add Cavalry and the ability to attack with horses. * Add better and fresher animations for the infantry. All in all, I've enjoyed the hell out of the game, but I would enjoy it even more if these issues were fixed. I would be so happy if it was. Thank you for your time.

  *EDIT: They are now calling it a 'flexible purchasing system'. This is absolute rubbish. They are doing it to receive more money. Money Grabbers. DLC DLC DLC DO NOT BUY THIS 'GAME': You have to pay for the British and German campaigns,even if you bought BOE with early access. But with the original Men of War, the German, Russian, British and Bonus missions were not DLC's at all, and were with the base game. This is now only £5. Also, I bought the game in December 2014, and I only get the French and Russian campaign with the early access ( which adds up to 20 missions in total). Then, this 'Blazing Guns' DLC, which has 10 missions I think, comes out today (July 1 2015). This is not for free for people who bought it during Early Access, but for people who bought it between sometime in April to July 1. Also to note, 20 missions was £9.99 when it first came out as early access, but they have increased the price for 40 missions to £23.99. I like the gameplay and the editor (which surprisingly comes with the base game), but this 'Flexible Purchasing System' is what really let this 'game' down, and you can just buy Men of War (which uses the same engine) for more than 1/4 of the price of this 'game'

  Money grabbing developers , releasing paid DLC's even before the release of the mod lol ( Its suppose to be a free mod ) . The developers lied , i thought EA Buyers will be able to access all the campaigns but unfortunately u have to pay and pay and pay to get the complete game . Releasing free DLC's for valid buyers and not EA Buyers , BS isnt it ? And the developers are deleting negative threads in the community discussion because they do not care about the people in the community and instead care about their planning for the future paid DLC's :D I dont recommend to buy it unless you really want to support the game , im really disappointed for buying this bullcrap game

  It was fun at first, and sending waves of copy-pasted soldiers into the meat grinder in the editor is hours of entertainment, but I can't recommend this game just to save others from dissapointment. I'll start with the elephant in the room, the devs are almost cartoonishly greedy it seems. They've cut the legs off the game to sell to us as DLC. It's analagous to selling someone a car, and then selling them a season pass that includes the rear-view mirror, the trunk door, and the two rear wheels. Otherwise, the game fails to in any way captre the brutality of the first world war. This is do in part to the failing of the Gem engine to be able to accurately portray this, but nonetheless I expect more to that end from a project of this scale. Trench Warfare was frequently brutal hand to hand combat, but all this seems to depict is lazy potshots at one another from across no mans land. Artillery is frequently so weak it's virtually useless, failing to do any significant damage before the enemy has a chance to bandage themselves. The addition of horses was interesting at a glance, but the soldiers can't do anything from horseback, so attempting to make cavalry charges just results in a lot of dead horses. Hardly spectacular. Gas is rarely used in the campaign, and it's always a cutscene, watching a trenchful of your men just die without any kind of reaction. Nobody puts on the gasmasks that are clearly in their inventory, no body attemtps to run or seek shelther from it. It's like gassing mannequins. All in all, a very poor depiction of World War One. Look elsewhere.

  First off, I think a lot of people misunderstand the DLC system for this game, if you buy the full game you get Multiplayer, the French campaign and the Russian campaign. You can chose to buy the game in parts, or you can just pay $20 for the whole thing. This game is pretty much MoW with some tweeks, new units ect... If you liked Mow you'll like this, if you didn't you probably won't. This game does fill a niche of ww1 squad based rts, and it does it very well. The game is out of early access but still has some issues that are being worked on by the very community involved dev team. The campaign is a lot of fun, its a true Men of war 1 style campaign with shitty voice actors and all but that is part of the charm. I thought it was pretty cool how you could really see the progression of the war throughout the missions, from cloth hats and fields to steel and trenches.

  Released free campaign DLCs for some countries, then decided they wanted more money and so made the next ones paid DLCs. Where is the logic? I don't want to pay for campaigns that should be part of the game to start with, especially an early access game. Was a fun game and concept, but I would not recommend buying it when the base campaigns are part of a season pass.
