Command Ops 2 reviews

Command Ops 2 is a pausable Real-time Strategy game. The Game system with the pureable Real time Is also known from the Hearts of Iron Series. This System is much more in keeping with the demand for "realism" than the turn-based System, which is often used for Strategy games with a similar Setting. CO2 is the Successor to Command Ops (completely surprising) from 2010 which had its Predecessor in the Airborne Assault of 2002 (third Part 2006). Visually and from the Menu management, as a Developer studio has stuck to this Engine, which has been tried and tested for them. This then looks correspondingly "attractive" with "today's eyes." For a Strategy Game with such a claim, to historical Research and strategic Challenge, this is completely okay, even the Hearts of Iron series has recorded a purposeful and uncluttered look even if in the Eyes of Casualgamer It is regularly too Wine Cramps leads. But one should also note that such Games are a Niche product For a comparatively small Group of hardcore strategy fans. And they will appreciate the Game. Nevertheless, I have three "Downer": A) the Tutorial is not a Tutorial, because it does not explain anything. b) the menu/operation is a challenge and takes a lot of Time to get involved, also because of a lack of tutorial guidance and c) the Basic Game is very short of Scenarios and exactly in the Phase of the War I rather uninteresting for such a Game Keep. There are some DLCs that expand it, but they are also quite salted in Price. If all this does not deter and brings Time to Enter, you can let off steam here thoroughly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmXtlztJ0Yo

Conclusion: Not entirely new, abe now also available on Steam. At least the first Module (or DLC) Highway to the Reich was released in 2012-at Matrix Games. Nevertheless.. An intense Strategy Game epic that continues to seek its same in terms of Gameplay and artificial Intelligence. Graphics & Sound 7/10 unspectacular But functional Graphics as well as Scenario maps, which can be found at first Glance all the important Terrain details. Little varied soundscape. If everything Fulfils its Purpose, Panther Games is welcome to show a little more artistic Ambition here with the next Release. Control & Interface 7/10 You notice, of course, that the Interface is basically ten Years old. The menu and Command bar contains a Variety of Riders and Buttons and is also too small in View of the high Resolutions today. For hard-edged Wargamers no Obstacle and even Newcomers are likely to cope here after a short Familiarisation. Unlike The Interface of "War in the East," Panther Games games are easy to use like an I-Pad App. Nevertheless, some Rework would also have to be done on the Interface. Wide Screen, however, is supported. Atmosphere 10/10 There are few Strategy games in the Wargamesgenre that approach this Series in terms of Atmosphere. You feverish with every Attack and every Defense of a Bridge, a Road Intersection or a Piece of forest becomes a Nerve Test. Rarely have fleeing tactical Signs been so lambasted and haunted as in this Series. Scope 9:5/10 A good dozen Scenarios per DLC (or Module), playable on both Sides with countless settings as well as Multiplayer. For an Add-On of this Price Range, there is nothing to complain about. No Battle goes like the other. Artificial Intelligence 10/10 Added. AI still remains AI and never reaches out to a human Adversary. But here the full Score is almost an Understatement. AI usually knows what it does, changes its Strategy and is in many Ways a serious Adversary. All the more amazing when you take into account that this is a Real-time Game.
