Men of War is a World War II real-time strategy game set across Europe and North Africa, with campaigns following Soviet, Allied, and German forces. Its single-player stories comprise 19 missions, while online multiplayer adds the Japanese faction.
Its defining Direct Control feature lets players take over any unit on the battlefield and direct its actions themselves. Commanders can also change, upgrade, and repair equipment and vehicles, bringing individual weapons and machines into the same tactical picture as larger battles. The game emphasizes historically recreated arms and equipment, set among detailed WWII environments and characters.
Beyond the campaign, Men of War includes online modes such as Capture the Flag and High-Value Cargo, alongside single-player and multiplayer conflicts featuring period vehicles and weapons. Its combination of broad real-time strategy command and hands-on control of a single soldier or vehicle gives the battlefield a distinct scale. The listed play options also include PvP, co-op, and LAN support. It is a strategy game built around both detailed unit management and several ways to engage with its WWII setting.
