Resources focus on realistic representation of war with a system that centres around providing your troops the reinforcements that they need to fight. Resources come in manpower, munitions and fuel. Fact issues aside the games are really good at delivering a good war time strategy experience that does let you feel like you are commanding troops into battle. Both games are well presented (although some elements are quite blown out of proportion, but if you aren't a fan of war history you won't even notice this minor historical issues). The first game focuses on the Allies while the second game turns it's attention to the Eastern front. I always have particular interest in the war strategy of this history as well and it's something I get to experience in video game format in the Company of Heroes series.īoth of the games are real time strategy games set in a World War II setting. I love history and in particular war history, it's something that I believe needs to be studied and taught (thus preventing it happening again). If it's a futurist and sci-fi warfare your seeking then I can't recommend Halo Wars enough. If you own an Xbox it's most likely you've had some exposure to the Halo series so I think the group that this applies to is small.Īnalog sticks make up much of the controls with the use of plenty of radial menus that makes building quick and easy despite the control issues that games like this usually have on console platforms. Knowledge of the Halo series definitely helps to understand the setting and this story based experience but I don't consider it a requirement to enjoy the game (although it definitely helps). It's also very visually impressive as you watch all these large scale battles play out between the humans and the Covenant. It's also one of the best real time strategy games for console in general as this is what it was designed for.īecause of this design intention the game is simplified to an extend but still has some very epic strategy warfare to enjoy. As some one who loves console gaming and the halo franchise in general Halo Wars was an obvious first stop on my hunt for games like Command and Conquer.
