Soldiers: Heroes of World War II - Enhanced Edition

GERTT

S:HoWW2 (from now on, S:) got an update and it works very well on Windows 11. The game itself is extremely clunky, has loads of tedious micromanagement and is going to feel unfair to the core but you have to take it with a grain of salt and realize that it's probably the last of its kind. Future titles in the series just aren't the same and they don't make 'em like they used to.

It's a lot of fun to co-op this and it works well, you can easily share troops and the game stands to benefit from having multiple players control the same pool of characters in order to lessen the micro-management.

Big thumbs up for handing out the update to existing customers.

OMG it works now. excellent!

One of the best games ever made.

Soldiers: Heroes of World War II from 29 Jun, 2004 is the first in a series of real-time tactics video games set in World War II, developed by or under the supervision of Ukrainian company Best Way.Would I recommend this? Yes and no, it's a good game, but it's almost too frustrating unless you play on Easy or possibly normal. I'd say play Men of War first, where it has several updated mechanics like visible enemy line of sight meaning you can plan more effectively. If you enjoyed Men of War though, definitely play this, some very, very well crafted campaigns and maps, lots of fun to be had.

Great game.

great gamesky

after all these years its still a quality game

I cannot explain how incredible it is for an old game dev, to update their TWENTY year old game for modern systems and add steam networking so all those "im not touching hamachi" people will still be willing to play it with you. I was just playing this again on GOG on twitch and someone was like "there's a new version on steam and its 70 cents" and I was blown. away.

Get ONE MOD. The "AT unlimited camera mod". It lets you infinitely zoom out, or sideways to make it almost like third person. Its on workshop Or just make a file called "log.at" and dump this text in:

clipmap = 0
openAllMissions = 1

and put the file in your game folder at

\Soldiers Heroes of World War 2\resource\at\at.log

(make the new folder named 'at' in resource folder)

Boom. You got zoom out.

Nobu is goated on god

The greatest WW2 RTS of all time! With recent updates, even better!

Game of my childhood, played many times and got still fun :)
The big plus is the devs decide to support this game on the newest systems, add achievements and Editor. Cant wait for the more updates. :)

very innovative and fun gameplay, also despite being more than two decades old still gets new updates

one of the best strategy games i played

I honestly don't understand all the positive reviews. I found the controls to be horrible and the game tedious. I rather play the original Sudden Strike game than this.

Very Great Game, i can trully recommend it, that was before update. But after update and active of developers i really like it. Thx old developers for childhood and new studio for reviving interest to this game.

The company that makes this game has made this exact same game over and over again for the better part of two decades and they're all kind of bad in a good, novel sort of way.

old but good

They just released a patch for this ancient gem of a game. Wildly unexpected!

OLD Still GOLD !

After playing the first Men of War game, I was curious about the franchise's first game. Though there are times when I was quite annoyed by the AI, I found this first game to be more entertaining then Men of War. The direct control mode for the vehicles felt more smooth. Also, aesthetically, the game sort of reminded me of the Commando series, which is a plus for me.

Best way I can think to describe this frenetic and incredibly challenging game is this: picture yourself nursing an LSD-induced sense of bravado as you watch re-coloured b&w WWII movies on a 6" Zenith, while being jazzed on copious amounts of Pop Rocks and Dr. Pepper (with your wife yelling at you in the background). That pretty much sums it up :)

Pros:

+ Impressive modeling of vehicles
+ Historically accurate unit representation
+ Immersive graphics and battle sounds
+ Highly detaled soldier actions/responses
+ Covers US, German, UK, and Russians

Mids:

* Music can get annoying (also LOUD)
* Some tanks feel stretched out (wide)
* Unpolished voice-overs lack credibility
* No true multiplayer (death-match) mode
* Limited to static pre-programmed missions

Cons:

- Hard to make out elevation and angles
- AI appears to be overly accurate/effective
- Ridiculously difficult missions (like puzzles)
- No dynamic content (little replay value)
- Discontinued with no DLC or expansion

Game of the Best

The grandfather of men of war with similar mechanics and feel. The 4 campaigns are really fun and challenging and they even have a co-op mode. The multiplayer gamemodes are also fun.

I recommend this game to any ww2 rts fan!

Great WW2 Stratagy and Action

Co-op is fantastic, music is great. and graphics are far too good for a game from 2004. Vehicle models and visual effects are amazing. def worth playing through the campaign especially with the bois.
