![]() ![]() Victory goes to the team that can destroy the most enemy units, while keeping their own most valuable units alive. Combat – a classic Men of War mode featuring an all-out brawl between two teams.To go along with the surprise announcement, Fulqrum has also put out a trailer that shows off what you can expect from the tech test, viewable below:Īs you’d expect, the test includes just a portion of the main game, offering four modes, as follows: Furthermore, the full game will feature individual battalion customisation and additional unit unlocks via in-game progression, expanding the level of control players have on the battlefield”. Each battalion features its own gameplay style and unique strategic opportunities resulting in a deeply rewarding experience that is easy to pick up, but difficult to master. ![]() armies, allowing them to try out over 80 units from the full game’s total roster of over 300. The developer explains that “Players will be able to choose from the 1st Infantry, 1st Tank or 1st Artillery battalion from the Soviet, German and U.S. The tech test of Men of War II is a major milestone, as it’s the first time the game is publicly playable, and it’ll be taking place on Steam from Thursday 23rd March (today/now!) until Monday 27th March. REVIEW CODE: A complimentary PC code was provided to Bonus Stage for this review.Fulqrum Publishing has announced that there will be a Men of War II multiplayer tech test, and it’s launching right now. If you’ve just bought into MoW however, you should fully explore the campaign and all it has to offer first. If you’re into Men of War: Assault Squad 2, you’ll probably get great satisfaction out of this DLC – finding new strategies to utilise the mobility and power of the Ostfront army. Overall, this new army DLC for Men of War: Assault Squad 2 packs an enormous punch in-game in terms of new units for use in skirmish and multiplayer, but at £7.19 you’d expect a campaign or at least some missions to introduce players to the new units. You’ll also be able to get your hands on the Schweres Wurfgerät – an expensive but supremely powerful stationary rocket launcher.Īll the above have been lovingly researched and recreated to the standard you’d expect from a Men of War game, with units boasting fine graphical details down to the tank tracks and muzzle flashes, as well as the sounds to match. In terms of support, players can enjoy the super cheap and powerful SdKfz 8 Flak 37 – an anti-personnel and anti-tank support unit rolled into one. Ostfront Veteranen also comes with the Hetzer – a tank hunter which apparently refers to the concept of hunting down a target. It’s a core unit in Ostfront Veteranen, highlighting how this particular army relies on manoeuvrability and speed to get the job done. The highly mobile SdKfz 250/1 is a smaller, more agile halftrack compared to the classic 251/1 commonly seen on the battlefield during WW2. Ostfront Veteranen also comes with a cavalcade of mechanised and support units – here’s a smattering of vehicles to get those halftracks rolling. The Ostfront army has smaller numbers of infantry overall, but they tend to act more effectively than those from other factions – quality over quantity comes to mind. Ostfront Veteranen comes with 5 new infantry squads ranging from the Leichte Aufklärer light scouts sporting K98, MP40 and StGw44 rifles, to the Gebirgsjäger – elite tier 5 mountain infantry with greater range and accuracy than other infantry in the game. Without a campaign this DLC is essentially just a new army to play as – so let’s get into the specifics of the new units. A lack of campaign is a little disappointing, as the Eastern Front bore some of the most infamous battles in WW2 history, surely worthy of recounting in the Ostfront Veteranen DLC? The first thing I noticed about Ostfront Veteranen, is that it’s listed as multiplayer only – what a shame this would be if it were true, because actually whilst there is no singleplayer campaign, the DLC content can be played within skirmish mode against bots. The Ostfront Veteranen DLC is a first in the MoW franchise, taking players to the Eastern Front with a host of new German vehicles and infantry squads to play as. Before anyone slates me for being underqualified to review the DLC on that basis, I’ve played all previous Men of War titles and have played a healthy amount of skirmish in MoW: AS 2. ![]() Having recently picked up Men of War: Assault Squad 2 in the Steam Summer Sale, I was barely into the story campaign when I had the chance to review the Ostfront Veteranen DLC.
