So now we're doing another online game. An online strategy war game, a WW2 simulator would be the best way to describe it. Now this isn't exactly a game where there's an objective or story per say. Your objective isn’t to be the best or the strongest, I feel it’s to have the most respected alliance on any server. War 2 Glory is a great game that is extremely addictive. Now before we jump into the review itself, just gonna tell ya'll a few things. War 2 Glory is a turn based strategy game, War 2 Glory is the title of the game, but the company Just a Game is one of the Hosts of the game. They run this section/version of the game in Europe, and the company is based in Germany. That’s just in case I reference any of that in the review itself. So let’s get this review underway!!!
We'll jump on gameplay first, so the idea of gameplay in the game isn’t the same as a lot of online multiplayer games. You start an account on any server, preferably a new one, you are thrown into a continent and you must straight away build your city and army to survive! The game gives you missions to follow to increase your knowledge of how the game operates and your put into a 7 day truce so you can learn the ropes and become accustomed to the game (but by following in game missions you can end the truce early). The fights in the game, both against NPC's and other players, are turn based. This means that you will need a little tutoring from other players to get the hang of it! This is where the Alliances come into the equation, you can join any alliance on your server (if accepted but you will always find an alliance) or start your own one, but as a novice to the game I would recommend joining an established alliance. They can show you the best ways to play the game and there a great way to make friends and enemies on your server. The best way to improve in the game is to the follow the words of the vets in your alliance and to follow the in game missions, both will help you to become a great player. For gameplay I will be giving an 8/10. A great game and great system but turn based combat isn’t to everybody's taste.
We'll jump into some features included in the game next. In your newly established city you will find 2 distinct sectors. They are the production sector and the military sector. Obviously the production sectors job is to produce resources to fuel your war efforts such as food to feed your army, steel oil and rare to build and upgrade your troops and city. Giving you the materials to increase your army’s numbers and upgrade the military buildings that are needed to co-ordinate and control you’re in game city.
Your military sector is the main part of your city, which holds all the most important buildings in your city. Some of these are the General HQ which you use to give your officers objectives, a radar tower to see incoming enemy troops and a research centre to give you the latest and greatest weapons and units to reduce your enemies to rubble. These buildings combined with other important buildings in your city can make you a feared or respected member of your alliance or even the server (if you’re good enough). The building of your city can be and in most cases is very enjoyable and the feeling of seeing your troops increase and killing off an enemy’s troops makes the game great.
Another feature is the ability to buy in game money which is used to buy items that can increase your reputation or how good your officers are or even how your army reacts in battle. This can turn the tide in any battle and make the losing party into the victor of a close battle.
Officers are a big part in the game, military officers are used to control your troops in battle giving them increased attack power, political officers are used as majors in your city and knowledge officers as chiefs in your research centres. Having great officers can make you feared or by keeping them to yourself can make you a deadly weapon! So by building great officers you can own the server.
These are just some of the features that make the game great. A 9/10 for the in game features!
War 2 Glory has a forum linked to the game that gives you the latest intel on what’s coming up in the game world. The latest competitions and events to keep you in the game loop. The forum acts as a great community to get info on problems you’re having in game as well as general conversations with people about random topics! In all a great way to keep everybody informed about the game and other issues! 9/10!
To sum up! A great game that is very addictive (been playing for about 7 months myself). Definitely a game worth playing that will stop your social life dead! I recommend everybody to give this game a shot! So check out the screenshot of my city to the left and the link below! So a good 8/10 for a game that has stolen my Saturday nights for the last 7 months! Check it out! http://www.war2glory.com/en/startpage.html
