WARNO Reviews

Takes all of the QoL improvements of Steel Division 2 and combines it with the doohickies of the late cold war. Rushing in with 10 AMX-13 DCAs and getting flatted by T-80Bs is the best thing in the world

It's a bad game. I expected a tactical game, but my ass. It's just spamming units and hope ai does not know here they are, otherwise they will be dead instantly.

It’s basically war game red dragon without the ship combat with some minor quality of life improvements made. Same time period and many of the units are the same. CV’s don’t need to remain in sectors for your team to control them unless they are contested by an enemy’s CV, so that makes the game a lot better and less of a pain in the ass. CV sniping was annoying in red dragon. It’s worth it despite the total price of the expansions being somewhat steep. And no, the DLC divisions aren’t necessarily OP, despite what some others say. Even saw some reviewer guy say arty in the game is “inconsequential”. I guess he’s never had his entire army melted by napalm rockets. My personal start in this game is just spam of crap units. It’s funny as fuck spamming absolutely abysmally bad AT guns against a super advanced NATO deck with max range ATGMs only for them to realize ATGM’s don’t lock onto AT guns because they aren’t vehicles. Your Bradley just died to a pak40, bro. Dude, did your hellfire Apache just die to a bofors? Damn, that guy just wasted an MLRS barrage on a t-34. Recon is pretty important, if you can’t see what’s going on you’re basically asking to have your army killed by random variations of combined arms. My favorite strategy is to immediately drop napalm on the roads leading to objectives as the match starts, it gives you some extra time to bring your guys into position before you get mobbed. It’s rare you don’t have fun in a match even if you’re losing. Every kill of an enemy unit feels pretty rewarding. You can have fun spamming infantry, tanks or planes or a mix. In 10v10s you can just sit in the back doing nothing but shooting giant rocket barrages and doing counter battery. Deck building is endless entertainment. That’s honestly half the fun of the game. I would buy it if you’ve enjoyed RUSE, Steel Division, or Wargame.

It's good don't get me wrong but it isn't that good... There's just so much missing for making unit flow easier for new players without the need for 100+ hours. Majority is the understanding of the Rules of Engagement settings but I've had times where that option didn't even matter for what units ultimately do. I'll accept user-error but TBH it wouldn't be hard to make this flow better. GIVE YOUR PLAYERS MORE SETTINGS TO MOLD THEIR PLAY STYLE WITH PLEASE! You've made it pretty simple already but it almost feels counter-intuitive with some options built into the game that you just simply can't manipulate... Oh, and if you want to change your allies colors to help understand who is playing where on the map, tough luck. They forgot that feature. Can't imagine a colorblind person playing this game. If you can't see red or green - might as well gg next this product. Also can't even play a co-op mode match without players saying how bad you suck as a rank 5 when they are rank 50+ - because that's basically all that is left for a player base..... low ranks are pretty rare to see (I was a majestic unicorn amongst the sweats who prob don't play anything but this.... respect, but dude there's better games out than this - enjoy one for your own sake) Best part was, my post-game stats were not that far off from theirs 2/3 games.... go figure. Team effort or not, the way some dudes type they should be able to carry noobs and they can't. So they become a keyboard warrior instead. Rather jerk off with sandpaper than even attempt to get better at it now that I've logged a few hours. I'd easily get more enjoyment out of that pocket pool sesh than this can offer. Solo AI gets boring and players go into co-op games trying to stroke their egos while 2 or 3 are actually talking and discussing how to fix each others issues. 6/10 - maybe was 10/10 on release? Who knows, who cares. Broken Arrow is worth the wait now.

good game concept, shit devs. pushes paid DLC that breaks the game and then doesnt fix it for weeks on end. cleverly blames nvidia despite this being the only game ive played which is broken in such a way, and the problems only started after the most recent update.

could use some work its a ok game spamming of units works 90% most the maps play the same and there are a few good armies to play with but most are so under powered but the campaigns are long and fun

Trash balance, trash mechanics, only +- good in this game arty and air and aa, infantry trash, tank absolute trash, fucking Pz 4 g more acurrate than m1 with stabilizer and laser rangefinder. Not worth money. The best what we can play now its hald dead Steel Division 2. What a pity...

I'm writing this because I know what happened to Steel Division 2. Warno is a great game, but for how long? New DLC's are starting to stack up on each other and the modding community is starting to get buried under each DLC, and with Broken Arrow coming out in July, it makes me realise that Warno will struggle once their first competitor releases their game. I love Warno, but Eugine's money practice with their DLC's will screw them and Warno in the long run, look what happened to Steel Division 2 and start to realise this as well. This is a opinion and a prediction, you can say that I'm wrong and that's fine because I WANT to be wrong as well.

Overall score 8/10. It's a good game, suffers a bit from its own quirks but what doesn't? Offers enough variety in divisions and content to keep you well occupied but as for the solo play the AI is objectively quite weak. Online play works well and is the most captivating way to play. Expect to take a bit to get used to the game and you'll have fun with it. Recommendations: Rework Helicopters and line of sight mechanics. Massively overhaul and improve AI using new open AI sources to build a smarter AI opponent. Tanks' ranges to vary more. Unit speeds to be slower. Add night time operations, to include night vision capabilities and the advantages & disadvantages associated with night time operations. Excited for the next iteration of these games from Eugen. This game is close to great but there is still tons of work to do to rid it of its issues.

A perfect game to stress yourself out after work with. Want to go to bed at a reasonable time? Too bad, you have to stay up and write letters for the brigade of men you just lost.
