That said, the ability to play online with other players can help make these missions incredibly fun, and while there is definitely a certain level of difficulty scaling, it doesn’t seem quite as unfair as when you try to solo a mission. Men of War: Assault Squad’s AI is relentless, and most of the missions I played with the computer were very difficult. Also, there is far more control over each individual unit, with each one have an inventory of items, multiple stance changes, and being able to directly control how you fire through line of sight. In particular, the way the battles feel like they’re on-going and somewhat independent of just the decisions you make is very different to the simple squad-based gameplay of COH. Fans of games like Company of Heroes will be able to jump in just fine, but there are certainly some things unique to the Men of War series that sets it apart. The tutorial levels and the skirmish mode itself is mainly to teach you about the units, and to really learn the basics you’re going to have to do a bit of reading. Similar to other small and hardcore communities on the PC, Assault Squad is already one of the hardest games to break into online I’ve ever played, mainly due to the fact that this is a sequel and has very little in the way of explaining every little detail in-game. There is also a set of skirmish maps that make up the single-player portion of the game, all of which can also be played online with up to 8 other players cooperatively this makes the less-than-standard price look very reasonable for newcomers to the franchise. MOW: Assault Squad is a stand-alone expansion that puts more of a focus on the multi-player aspect of the series, with over 30 maps, as well as the ability to make your own custom maps. While 1C’s Men of War wasn’t exactly the biggest strategy game in 2009, it certainly made an impression on fans of the genre as a solid budget-priced title.
