Order of War Critic Reviews

While it does have a few shortcomings (mostly in the pacing), Wargaming.net really has a lot to build on with Order of War, and I would be thrilled to see a follow up -- perhaps even one taking place in the Pacific Theatre.

A stunning game. Whether you're a hardened RTS veteran, an anxious newcomer looking for a fun entry point to the genre, or just someone who loves colossal action in a World War II setting, you owe it to yourself to give Order of War a shot.

While you won't find much innovation, Order of War is a well crafted RTS game. The lack of satisfying multiplayer is disappointing but the single player game is rewarding enough to keep you coming back for more.

Great mechanics and a beautiful presentation make Order of War shine brightly among some incredible WWII strategy games. Anyone who enjoys the genre should give this one a shot.

Order of War is a good game. Not a great game, but a good one. It doesn’t bring anything revolutionary to the table, but it still offers a fun, quick and friendly romp into war-torn Europe.

Hardened RTS players may feel a little disappointed by the relative simplicity of the title and the fact that even on the hard difficulty level it isn't as challenging as many other RTS games. But for the average user, it is perfectly pitched.

This isn’t a bad strategy game by any measure – it delivers some solid missions, along with cinematic action and decent graphical performance. But after so many games using World War II as a setting, more of a personal connection to the narrative of the time would have been nice.

Competent WW2 -version of World in Conflict, camera controls could use some extra freedom. But when gameplay is simplified, it must be compensated with gorgeous graphics and interesting story, as WiC did. And Order of War is truly lame name.

Maybe is not the deepest RTS in the market, but Order of War is definitely capable of performing great graphics and a nice gameplay.

Order of War isn’t a bad game, it’s just not a very good game for the typical PC RTS gamer.

Order of War is due to lack of tactical options rather an interactive history lesson, than a challenging strategy game.

Although Order of War is not an innovative game, it is indeed a good option for fans of strategy, specially the ones who like World War Two.

The strange thing about this game is that despite of the positive picture i had from this game, it wouldn’t keep it that way while playing it. The game does a lot of things very well, for sure. De presentation is very well done, the graphics are top-notch, the gameplay is entertaining and the mission structure is cleverly made. But it misses something. Maybe it’s because the game does nothing new and the multiplayer is boring after a while. For the fans of the genre and people who wants to try out a RTS, it’s an almost instant buy. But don’t expect to play it for a long time.

Order of War is a polished real strategy game with a well optimized engine and some fun missions but It has no innovations, trying to be good both for rts fans and newbies without satisfying any of them.

Order of War is a mere copycat game. It feels, looks and plays like World in Conflict – only with dulled out WW2 missions and a lack of strategic depth. Not a bad RTS, but a popcorn RTS.

Order of War is a solid RTS. It's not particularly innovating but it's simple to learn, and difficult to master really fun alone or with a couple of friends.

Although Squaresoft games has developed really good games, this one is the one to be better ignored. The reason to play it longer than a few hours is simply missing, even if there are three playable fractions.

Order of War does little to justify a purchase above the likes of CoH or Dawn of War II. The campaign modes are light on depth, and most seasoned players will breeze through before heading back to the heavy-hitters.

Order of War is like a popcorn war: fast and tasty, a nice little snack, but not a full meal. It's too easy for veterans and not impressive enough for casual gamers. But if you are looking for occasional fast battles, it's a good choice. It won't get less complicated than this.

This simple real-time strategy game isn't original, but it's a lot of fun.
