Glad you're enjoying it but the reviews aren't good. I know the score changes slightly from country to country but in the US it's a "Mixed" rating at 68% but only 48% of recent reviews are positive. Seems like they removed a feature allowing AI control of part of your fleet and people aren't happy about it.
@@waltblackadar4690 the biggest reasons for the bad reviews are the constant updates that inevitably break something as they are fixing something else. And it corrupts saves often when they do updates. OP is right tho...it scratches an itch that no other naval warfare game does, and I have been playing them since 688 on the SEGA and even before that on on the commodore type consoles.
@@waltblackadar4690 that's fair. The developer will break something in a patch then fix it and break something else. Like i said, it's flawed for sure but I still find it very enjoyable.
'The Troop' is a great game and I honestly think it's the closest thing we have to a decent computer version of Squad Leader (or ASL) that exists yet. Yes, i know Microprose Second Front exists and is supposed to be a direct conversion of SL/ASL, but in my opinion was badly translated to the digital medium.
Playing coop Hex of Steel right now. Great game but manual kinda lacking. At least you can ask questions of the other players in the in-game chat and the dev sometimes even shows up.
This is one of the issues I have with the game. It's just....ugly. I don't need top graphics but this looks like late 80s/early 90s and that's just too much of a stretch for me to enjoy the game.
Used to love it until I started playing competetively. So many times I saw games won or lost purely due to RNG. Friend and I were playing CC3 he flanked my Panther G with an IS-2 and a T-34/85. Ambush both have a clear shot, 150m, both miss with 2 shots and my Panther just obliterates them both. After one too many of those battles I quit.
@@Arg0n01 Whilst i understand where your coming from, that is much of the appeal isn't it? The best wargames generally skew more towards simulating combat and are therefore inherently somewhat unpredictable and unbalanced, close combat is not really suited for competitive play by design and so it's hard to fault it for that.
Thanks for the info. I had never heard of Destiny of the World. First thing I do is look at the Steam update to if the development is dead. This has been updated every month since Aug 2021 !!!
I purchased it about a month ago and i really like it. The production System is really cool. I even left some comments and bugreports in the Forum and they were answered instantly and one was even hotfixed.
Thanks for the breakdown! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?
I tried Close Combat 2, but can’t manage to display il on my 24’’ screen. Window is so small it’s unplayable. Tried with lower res. but quality makes il unplayable too. You should consider this technical issues when reviewing old good classics !! Regards
@@zer0924 Thanks. I am looking to simulate at the battlegroup or higher level. I don't want to move any unit less than platoon size (maybe the occasional section level recce units).
@@scifisnob Regiments is right up your alley then and exactly what you are looking for. I paid full price for it and the DLC and I have 0 regrets. Game has given me way more hours of fun than WARNO has. The best answer however, is get both! Lol! You can never have too many good wargames. I have spent wayyyyy too much money on this damn genre...
Cannot recommend Ultimate Admirals: Dreadnoughts :( It's several years since launch and it still has nearly every game-breaking bug today that was complained about during Alpha. Campaign mode is mostly unplayable (imho). Dev's HATE the playerbase and will ban you from the Steam forums for 'negativity' if you post any listing of critical game bugs or legitimate criticisms
SGS games are good, but their small team and business model mean they rarely update games after release. They might make one update, or one extra scenario, etc. But once you buy one of their games, be sure, that's all you'll be getting unless there is a CTD type bug. WARNO is a funny old game. Drop a 155/152mm, or any HE for that matter, round precisely on the heads of that enemy infantry squad out in the open and watch them shrug it off as though nothing happened at all. EUGEN have been aware of the issue for some time, but do not want to change HE effects because 'the game wouldn't be fun anymore'.
Dominions series is one favourites. It's great to see it here! I love the sheer amount of factions it has. Yet despite that they all very diverse. I really like the different eras and how you can see factions in different time periods. One of my favourite factions to fight is Ermor. Can you stop their vast undead hordes?!
@@boraeananaren Honestly, man. If you want an epic Pacific war game, just get War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition. The only place you can buy it is on the Matrix game store and right now, it's on sale for $14. It's normally $80. And it's also WEGO. To be honest with you man, the Pacific campaign is very slim pickings. And most hex-based wargames are IGOUGO. The only other one that I can think of that offers WEGO, and I am sure there are others, is the Flashpoint Campaign series. But if you are looking for WEGO in the Pacific Theater, then you want War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition.
i think i have only 2,5 hours of the troop, amazing game, i am waiting for them to update some campaings to fully dedicated more hours, i really want to experience the game in the fulliest potencial, but the game is already top 3 game i brougth this year, a real hidden gemne
UAD is good but i wish the devs would stop breaking the saves with frequent minor updates. I've never progressed past 1920 because of this. I always start from 1890 though.
@@Cooldude-ko7ps well I'd bracket that more in the Space genre. These tend to be wargames based on conflicts throughout history. But hey you could go into space! 🚀
Regiments as a single player experience is far superior than anything Eugen has ever put out. Not only is the AI much better (it has to be since it's Single Player focused only), but it's also deeper in the tactics department. It also offers a dynamic campaign through the Winds of Change DLC which is absolutely amazing. I own all of Eugen's products and I have got a lot more Single Player fun out of Regiments. I'm sorry, but the AI in Wargame, Steel Division and WARNO are absolutely shit. Now, Eugen's games in multiplayer is where they shine, and that's about it.
The term "civil war" is NOT completely correct. East Asia has never been one big stable country throughout history. The region was actually like Europe with a lot of small countries most of the time. Sometimes some warring countries would conquer most of the smaller countries to form an empire like the Roman Empire in Europe. Sometimes, independent small countries reformed again.
Ngl its a lil bit disgraceful that u talk about military games and u don’t even mention a fps/tps milsim once. All those games that u showed can just be replaced with call of war lol
I think it might be you who doesn't understand game definitions if I'm honest 😉 tell me you don't understand what a wargame is in one comment and you nailed it 🤣

Really cool overview. From personal experience, I can recommend Warplan (Pacific though), WARNO and Regiments.
Great list!! Super impressed you got this done so quick and high quality.
They just cut and pasted it from the video they did for the last Steam sale.
@blacbraun what a dweeb you are 😂
Close Combat...wow. Been a while since I played that series. Great list gentlemen.
it is Legendary! - Tom

FTL: Faster Than Light $2.49. It is a great game.
