Videogames are pretty invested in continuing and replaying World War II. There was a period where it seemed like people were getting a bit tired of the old confrontation between Allies and Axis, but it was short lived. Hot on the heels of Company of Heroes’ reappearance and Call of Duty heading back to its favourite war, we’ve also got returning RTS Men of War II. It’s a good time to be a lover of old tanks.
These tanks were very much the stars of the first hands-off demo and presentation from publisher 1C Entertainment and Men of War’s original developer, Best Way, once again at the helm. In the clips of campaign missions and PvP confrontations, I almost felt bad for the wee digital soldiers getting mown down by these indomitable vehicles.
