This software simulates a global domination war unfolding on land, sea, and air.
What I loved most about this game was its use of Wargaming.net's high-performance 3D engine, which gave it a revolutionary look and feel. Gameplay was extremely smooth, and the interface was easy-to-learn, making it perfect for beginners.
The game comes with an original political system that preserved the intrigue throughout the whole war. Each side had a bunch of allied countries, unknown to the enemy. Secret allies could disclose themselves and provide troops at any moment, surprisingly shifting the power balance in a particular region.
Another exciting aspect of the game was that it was placed in a dynamic strategic environment, where the tide could turn several times. This sense of unpredictability added to the adrenaline rush, especially in the face of the enemy's devastating attacks. Winning the game felt like victory was snatched from the jaws of defeat.
The secret alliance concept provides endless replayability. In each game, the distribution of secret allies is different; hence, you will never have two games, facing unique strategic situations. The game required me to employ enduring principles of warfare such as use of terrain advantages, outflanking moves and envelopment, troops concentration in the area of main strike, cutting enemy supply routes, screening maneuvers, guerrilla tactics, and sabotage.
Finally, the game involves the liberation of continents and huge naval landing operations, which taught me how to operate carrier battle groups, provide artillery support, and face other non-trivial challenges. Overall, I highly recommend this game for anyone who is looking for an exciting, unpredictable, and engaging turn-based global-scale game.
