Our take on Men of War™
Rather than keeping command at the broad battlefield level, the game lets players take control of any individual unit. That shift brings equipment changes, repairs, and vehicle handling into the middle of a real-time strategy battle.
What is Men of War™?
Men of War is a real-time strategy game set during World War II, with battles across Europe and North Africa.
Players command Soviet, Allied, or German forces through three storylines and 19 single-player missions. Direct Control lets players take command of an individual unit, while equipment and vehicles can be changed, upgraded, and repaired. The game includes historically recreated weapons, vehicles, environments, and characters. Single-player offers a customizable interface. Online multiplayer adds the Japanese faction and modes such as Capture the Flag and High-Value Cargo. Multiplayer access can continue through LAN, DirectIP, and GameRanger following the GameSpy shutdown.
