Heavyarms Assemble: WWII Reviews

There is no strategy as such, you just rivet more units and go into battle. I liked it)

Okay so yeah i'm gonna give this game a thumbs up. But the game isn't finished yet, hence the early access tag. It has it's issues. Stability issues, compatability issues, cohesive issues, speed issues. It's got plenty of issues due to it not being finished yet. But overall this game has a lot going for it and boy oh boy is it ambitious. It's a chess game, mixed with city builder, mixed with 4x strategy like total war. It has 3 levels of gameplay, each one diverse, immense, and as I mentioned earlier...ambitious. Now all these things are a bit ugly, disjointed, unintuitive...but still the ideas are pretty cool and interesting.. If it ends up being smoothed out and better optimized then this game could end up being a lot of fun. In other words, the game has a lot of potential. Oh also, it's not fully translated yet. It's about 90% translated though so it's not all bad. Overall I think it's a pretty decent little game, with the potential to be something immense and crazy good. But if you'd like a more in depth look with legit gameplay then please check out the video on my YouTube Channel (link below). Otherwise, thanks so much for reading and I hope I managed to help some of you out there to spend your money wisely. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsvhD0n0xNo

Decent strategy with great features and lots of fun! I had a hard time figuring out the tutorial, but once I got the hang of it, I enjoyed playing.

I can tell that this game is going to turn into something really good down the road, whats already here is fun. The problems come up when you start playing, the lack of a English VA is noticeable instantly, now this is not an issue itself, I've played games in the past with non-English VAs. The issue is that voices do not have a separate volume slider from the games sound effects. Also many things are either poorly translated or not translated at all. Now this IS because its in early access and has already been stated is being worked on. I intended to come back to this game in the future and I really hope the developers continue the great job they have already done, because this game with a proper English VA and Translation is one I would recommend to a LOT of my friends.

an ambitious game, with a long-term application! Positive - a good strategy, a large selection of units and development options, the construction of the city, according to your taste and strategy, elements of combat as in totalwar. Negative- it's still early access, incomplete translation and few languages, bugs and freezes.

Im quite sad, I like the idea behind the game, but I can not try it - as soon as i get control in game my map is just moving north-west without me being able to cancel it... this way it was waste of money, especially that I have noted the developer my issue when first time tried it :( Im happy to change the rate if i can really try it

Game abandoned. Great concept really, but just abandoned right out the gate. Sad.

Feedback for the dev(s) First off, the game has a good structure. If improved properly it could tackle some of the big names in the industry, right now is the perfect time to draw people in as company of heroes 3 will flop when it launches later this month. This game takes aspects from company of heroes, adds base building and strategic map planning and operations, has some aspects of hearts of iron 4 and maybe a little bit of steel division 2. I will start with the pros that i have enjoyed so far 1. the game has solid bones, meaning it can be improved upon reliably in the future 2. the game is unique in its own way, with many aspects from beloved games in the RTS series. 3. you get to feel like you are commanding a real army for once with actual consequences behind your actions 4. the game has an initial learning curve which pays off and feels rewarding 5. the units fighting does look good in its own way 6. designing and upgrading your troops and division now the cons 1. some people may see the initial learning curve and be put off by it slightly confusing to some 2. i feel the game tries to be too many things at once and needs polished in many aspects 3. sometimes the units do not listen to orders, or simply will not move - also the cursor sometimes does not interact with units properly 4. sometimes lanes on the battlefield become obstructed, or your units avoid them for some reason. 5. the city building area has some transnational issues and may be initially confusing, same with the world map 6. the ability card pausing the game and popping up very frequently this ruins immersion of the battle - one way to improve this is take from company of heroes2/3 as an example and let the player choose cards or maybe build them before battle but it should NOT slow the battle down and should be something you can choose from otherwise it ruins the immersion and slows things down. also some of the cards i feel need slight balancing changes as some are OP and others are very meh. 7. i personally dislike the chess board lane feeling to battles, it should be more open like company of heroes or steel division, give players the freedom of choice. though i realize the current design choice is probably used as a crutch to avoid building proper Ai to fight against. I cannot help but also feel like the battalions need some tweaking maybe, will update further when i get a better feel for this. 8. I feel like you should have to capture points in the battle to gain more resources, similar to company of heroes 2. otherwise now it relies on RNG from cards and if your units decide to work properly. All in all the game feels good for early access assuming the devs continue to work on this, i feel it needs english or german voice acting even if its bad, translations need working on. (i know the dev said hes working on it) I also feel like maybe this game could benefit from some multiplayer or coop aspect, maybe even PVP if you plan on keeping the deck and building system in it, this could be similar to Ruse or Steel division 2. (steel division has coop similar to how this games campaign plays out in the general mode) - will update as i get further into the game

I am thoroughly enjoying this game. First off, this does have an English translation, and there are some parts, really minimal, that aren't translated yet, but this has been acknowledged by the developers, and they are working on it. Game-play wise, I would say this is a mix of a Total War game with real-time battles that are tile-based. In other words, this game is more focused on the management side of things, with some nice battle mechanics on-top. And let me tell you, the fact that I can customize each battalion I put in a legion, by which weapons they will be using and coming up with my own configurations is really a big plus in my book. This game is really ambitious, and it does a pretty good job at slowly introducing the game's many different features to you. It may seem overwhelming at first, but you'll get the hang of it pretty quickly. I highly suggest looking up some gameplay footage if you are still unsure. Although I highly recommend this title, especially for how inexpensive it is, and for the fact that it's trying to do something different, in this current environment of really lackluster strategy games.
