Release Date: May 15, 2024
The second installment in a series of WW2 RTS games. Men of War II includes two large singleplayer campaigns, an expansive cooperative and competitive multiplayer, a level editor and modding tools.
Men of War II is the second installment in a series of WWII RTS games, originating from 2007. It was developed by Best Way (also responsible for Soldiers: Heroes of World War II and the expansions to the first game) and published by 1C Entertainment.
Men of War II is set during World War II. The game features two extensive story campaigns. The first one has us playing as the Allies on the western front, while the latter has us playing as the Red Army, fighting the Third Reich on the eastern front.
Men of War II makes use of the top-down perspective. Players will get to command infantry, vehicles and aircraft. The game features 45 battalions and over 300 different war machines. Each unit has a different specialization, strengths and weaknesses, which we must make good use of to succeed.
The battlefields are all very diverse, including snowy Russian hills, European villages and ruined cities. To succeed, we must develop separate strategies for every battle. We must consider our army's numbers and capabilities, the terrain, buildings, the presence of bridges, rivers and forests (where we can prepare ambushes). Every in-game building is destructible. This can deprive our foes of cover, but they can bury our troops under rubble at any time as well.
The game's AI has been significantly improved since its predecessor. It also features the Front Line, which divides the battlefield into two parts. Its position and course is determined by the actions of the infantry, and is very important, as some operations can only be performed on our side. There's also Direct Vision, which lets us directly control a selected unit in third-person or first-person. We can take part in firefights or drive a tank through the battlefield.
Alongside its two singleplayer campaigns, Men of War II also features quick skirmishes and an expansive multiplayer, both cooperative and competitive. It also includes various modding tools and a level editor.
Men of War II features high-quality visuals. The spectacular explosions and realistic destructible environments are especially appealing. All units were designed with lots of attention to detail. The game's audio is just as impressive.

Game Ratings for Men of War II Video Game.
Try Hard Guides: 9 / 10 by Erik Hodges
Men of War II is a fighting return for the legendary RTS franchise, featuring deep strategic gameplay and unique new game modes to keep you playing forever. Fans of historical strategy games are in for strategic intensity and explosive action in Men of War II’s epic battles.
God is a Geek: 8 / 10 by Chris White
Men of War II is a deeply strategic and intense title that makes every decision, whether big or small, mean something.
Shacknews: 8 / 10 by Josh Broadwell
Frustrations aside, Men of War 2 is a fresh and ambitious take on a genre that's usually comfortable staying the same. I wish I had more time to sink into its massive multiplayer matches, but even when I don't, I'm still pleased with how strong the single-player experience is. Sure, it doesn't require the same level of strategy as taking on a human opponent, but Men of War 2's inventive mechanics keep you on your toes anyway.
