Now Digitalmindsoft are returning to Men of War with upcoming stand-alone expansion Men of War: Assault Squad. This was followed up with an expansion in 2010 Red Tide. A real-time strategy follow up to their previous game, Faces of War, they made Men of War stand out by taking the WWII setting and giving it a treatment normally reserved for games based on the Napoleonic and Medieval era wars, with an in-depth level of control that put the player in charge of all the minutiae. Ukrainian developer Best Way and co-developer Digitalmindsoft were responsible for one of these better WWII games, releasing Men of War in 2009 to a generally positive critical reception. The WWII games that are actually worth playing, that come along and shake up the same tired old recreations of the same tired old battles (we all know that Omaha Beach is the new Hoth) by doing it in a new and exciting way are very few and far between, and something to look out for because they could easily get passed over amongst the deluge of recycled crap. What gamer hasn’t come up against the Nazis at some point? Every genre has had many cracks at WWII, some more successfully than others. Games however have taken the notion and decided that it applies to them in a somewhat different way, with hell being an endless stream of mediocre titles set during the Second World War, very few of which are actually worth playing.
