Men of War II

However, the setting slowly faded from popularity with time and eventually, games based on the Last Big War became less common. That isn’t to say that they don’t exist, and developer Best Way recently released their latest game, Men of War II.

Men of War II is an action-based battlefield simulator with an online component, allowing players to take control of squads and battle them over large maps. The basic premise is similar to the Company of Heroes series, with players focusing on lines of battle and keeping their casualty numbers down while completing the mission. The question is if this will be a battle for the history books, or if it will fall by the wayside.

The first thing to note is that there is no overarching plot in Men of War II, although there are three different campaigns that players can engage with. The first follows the Russians, then the Americans, and finally the Germans. However, there is no reason to play these aside from learning some of the basics of the game. The plots occurring in them are interesting enough, even if the writing is a bit bare-bones. The reality is that this kind of game is built around the stories you craft with your friends, which is where the PvP and PvE maps come in.
