    Well, this is a very weal RTS, i have played a lot, COH2, COH1, Steel Divison, Wargame series, Men Of War and oh boy, Order Of War, is weak, very weak, lack of information, icons, and commands that you can give, make it hard to play seriously as a RTS of heaviness.

    It's like if you took World in Conflict, and mixed it with Blitzkrieg and then took all the strategy out of the mix, it’s just disappointing. It’s like all the ingredients are there but it really just devolves into unit spam (select all units attack) over and over and that’s about it. There are no special abilities, no retreating for your units, or reinforcing/repairing your damaged units.It's like if you took World in Conflict, and mixed it with Blitzkrieg and then took all the strategy out of the mix, it’s just disappointing.

There are no special abilities, no retreating for your units, or reinforcing/repairing your damaged units. All the units can do is attack and with units and unit cards so small good luck seeing them. With the games cinematic camera mode though, it's like it was supposed to be like an interactive battle movie simulator.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Banlance not good enough, GER units too expensive and its abilities really not good enough, especially compared with USA and USSR units(tanks much cheaper and still powerful). It's the most serious point.
    So in multi games,ppl almost choose USA or USSR,not GER,because its really much easier to get win,even the same one with the same skill. People who like to choose USA or USSR may give the game higher grades,because it's easy to win and the game with good graphic performance, but ppl who like to choose GER would be very dissapointed to the balance, and finally left. At least many friends i know left the game for the major reason.    … Expand

    Just crashes on my Phenom quad core, 8 gigs of ram, Radeon 4870 X2 pc. Rediculous, fresh install fully up to date with all drivers and windows update, not blocked by firewall. Every other game works fine, even Splinter Cell steam games which never work right. So, because I could'nt get the game engine to start and it cost 29.99 USD I will give it a zero.

    The game is visually attractive and features quality sound effects. Unfortunately, The voice narration is beyond bad and the game mechanics are poor and quite "buggy" with frequent memory errors. Unit strengths are listed and indicate that there are unique characteristics for each unit type, however, in actual game-play one type of unit within a class is exactly as any other. So am M3 The game is visually attractive and features quality sound effects.

    Game is crappy. Crashing constantly and I'm running an Alienware system I bought this years, so you can't tell me my system is out of date and I'm not wasting my time listing everything my system has. Game is no good and a waste of money. Steam needs to start allowing refunds for crao games that you can't even play for more then 10 mins before it crashes. I WANT MY Game is crappy.

    lack of tactical gameplay, Most of the time you will be right clicking to attack the enemy. graphics are cheesy, the videos appear as though they lag. The AI is un responsive. the Units have horrible stats. tanks cant take out buildings. this game is horrible, stay away from it.

    Why, why, why... sprites stop and fire when you want them to move out of the way and you can't override this behaviour, frustrating.

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

    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.

    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.
