    Introversion Software’s DEFCON is cheaper and way better than this one.

    Its low price tag is not enough to overshadow the fact that War, the Game delivers minimum content. Although it is natural to raise objections to its strategical aspect, a small number of scenarios and no multiplayer game are the things that are fatally snapping its neck.

    Boils the RTS genre down to great simplicity, and does it very well. Thats not to say that any strategy is missing, you must think hard aboutBoils the RTS genre down to great simplicity, and does it very well. Thats not to say that any strategy is missing, you must think hard about tactics and maneuvers you wish to use and it can become very challenging. The current price tag warrants the content, however its releasing on Steam very soon (will probably be on there whilst you read this) and with its steam release comes Multiplayer and delicious new content (not sure if the price will go up at all), which will add hours and hours to an already great experience. Really had fun with it. The only gripe I have with is the flag graphics could be cleaned up a lot. Full Review »

    War, the Game is a war strategy game, sort of in the vein of Civilization games mixed with some war elements. Although it seems simple atWar, the Game is a war strategy game, sort of in the vein of Civilization games mixed with some war elements. Although it seems simple at first, the game starts to develop into a more sophisticated and challenging game even sometimes hard. It is a smooth RTS game with retro futuristic feeling, it has some awesome multiplayer, it includes a map editor with Steam Workshop (although I have not tested it), and it has some good yet sometimes out of place music.

    This game is fun yet sometimes annoying and challenging
