Order of War

one of Square-Enix's biggest branding mistake

I expected a lot from Square-Enix's imaginative influences on games, but this game lacked every bit of imagination. Plainly put: here are some units; defend/attack this position. Why SE even chose to brand their name onto this game? I don't know, and neither will you.
Aside from that, the game itself isn't great either. There is nothing new about this WWII RTS. It is a 'been there done that' type of game where there is nothing revolutionary about it. Graphics isn't nearly as good as Company of Heroes and looks outdated for 2009. Gameplay is unbalanced, and I really hated the infantry just because they are hard to see and take control over the map. Voice acting and sound effects are faily decent on the flip side.

Sadly i spent money on this game, but I'm here to save you from doing the same. It was a game which you should play if you like WWII RTS, but wait for the $9.99 version, which it will soon become very quickly!

  Its a game where strategy means little, You basically call in a larger, more heavily armed force to crush your opponent.
