Battle Academy 2: Eastern Front

Amazing game from an amazing dev! You must play this game in multiplayer, you will find unlimited challenge!

Добрая часть игры пройдена, так что могу написать свое мнение об игре. Игра хорошая, НО ЦЕНА СЛИШКОМ ЗАВЫШЕНА. Ненапряжная стратежка в жанре "ВВ2", приятно что разработчики сделали продолжение академии на Восточном Фронте, а не на Тихо-океанском. В игре также много юнитов + новые юниты и механики, что часто переворачивают геймплей с ног на голову. Теперь насчет рандома и сложности, игра на максимальной сложности не то чтобы тяжелая, скорее нечестная по отношению к игроку. Проще говоря, если шанс штурма 89%, то в 8/10 случаев штурм провалится(нда вот так просто). А в остальном игра отличная, довольно хорошо состарилась поэтому РЕКОМЕНДУЮ

Great gameplay, able to teamup with another partner.

I had a lot of fun with this game's base campaigns. The strategy gameplay is something I've been searching for a long time, the grid based movement is simple, though Slitherine refused to make it that way: you've got yourself armor angles, different ways of moving (move fast, dash or hunt), and a ton of terrain modifiers that don't make the game feel too flat... and frustrating when you don't realize that this one part of the map has a marsh that your vehicles can't pass through. Every map feels like a tactical puzzle instead of a simple 'this goes here, that goes there', especially those ultra fortified maps like Assault and Exploitation... You really need to find balance between moving fast to capture the objective and not losing your entire army to Flaks scattered across bunkers. The game features community campaigns, too... I really like that feature, you just need to download them and you've got more content for yourself. I'm still doing the Kursk DLC, the quality of the campaigns refused to go down. Definitely buy this game, you'll have yourself a ton of fun and tactical frustration.

This is a step-up from Unity of Command and takes players through the basics of the Second World War in Eastern Europe. Some cool points include the use of grenades to pop tanks and pretty detailed gameplay with realistic fog of war, garrisoned units in multiple levels of buildings, and apparently an accurate representation of geography and relative military capabilities. I only say "apparently" because I did not check the geography against googlemaps or the units against the actual battles, but I think Slytherine has a decent reputation for making sure games are relatively historically accurate. Some of the games from this studio can be a bit rough graphically, but these were pretty nice at the time it came out. There is also a decent multiplayer function if you want to play any of these with two players. It does use a chess like grid for turn-based combat, which makes serious turn-based gamers really angry. Probably the most important contribution that this game makes is that while it does not use the "new" at the time hexes, the direction of the units may be diagonal, so you essentially have a hex set-up where direction the unit is placed matters. We cannot wait for chess pieces to start having directions, as well (just kidding, we like the flank attacks in this game, though, it makes playing easier).

A+
