I get where they are coming from when it comes to trying to make an arena based strategy game. If you like pulling apart arena games and enjoy trying new ones now and then. (Yikes I know you have invested so much time learning the current ones). On the plus side after playing with the settings I was able to try this game I grabbed in a sale some time ago for 99c. What I liked: * Control over the entire battlefield * Ability to mix and match units when you need to. * Upgrading to your unit strategy. Though the towers lend themselves to only a few winning strats. What I was not so keen on: * Farming power ups and XP on the sides took away some of the promise of "Fast Paced" promise. * Generator concusion blast is too strong. Something that does less damage would be fine, or at least draw out the concussion line around the base so defenses can be set accordingly. * Unit roles are not diverse enough to stop what would inevitably be a battle of attrition. (Whoever upgrades the Destroyers first will take out the turrets and eventually win) * No creeps do make the game seem "Quiet" now and then unless you are taking the action to the other player.

5/10 "Mediocre" Arena Wars 2 is a bare-bone strategy game, and can obviously be seen at first glance. The game offers little strategic involvement as spamming units over and over is an easy task in this game. Games only last about ten minutes and can be quite boring at times. Graphical wise, the game isn't that pleasing the eyes, but does have good explosion effects I will give it that. Overall it shouldn't be purchased at full price, I got it for .99 cents and gotr my moneys worth out of it, but make sure you have a friend with it if you do buy it! BECAUSE NO ONE PLAYS IT.

Abandoned game with significant tech issues on modern systems. Multiplayer is dead so you're stuck with AI single player. Single player doesn't have much going for it at all.

[h1]Follow our [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/36214917/]Curator Group for more reviews[/url][/h1] Arena Wars 2 is a terrible, bare bones RTS. The gameplay is simplified and generic. There are a handful of different units, none are unique or interesting. The game's biggest flaw is the absolutely awful AI. I played on the hardest difficulty and was able to beat the AI extremely easy with a standard strategy. I killed 57 units, the AI killed 2. That type of kill total in an RTS is borderline impossible, but the AI is so bad at the game that it's almost hard to get your units killed. Overall, an extremely easy game with little depth. 1/10 [quote] Visit our [url=https://www.mmmreviews.com]website[/url] for more in-depth reviews and recommendations [/quote]

For every ten or so big releases which disappoint, there’s a relatively small-scale title that comes along and surprises everybody by being pretty good. Arena Wars 2 fits nicely into this category. Fast paced RTS that puts you straight into the action, no mineral collecting to slow the game down. It really is a joy to play a game that hasn't been done what can seem like hundreds of times.

This game is awful. The camera is shaky and zoomed in way too far. Items are overpowered. Scoring system is terrible. Units are awkward to control and you can't have too many out at once. Maps are small and encourage placing units at item spawns to win the game that way. Unit abilities only work 50% of the time. Calling precision air strikes at the start of the match is a shitty game mechanic. Payed 49 cents for the game. Normally i dont care for such a low cost but i kind of want my money back at this point.

While the singleplayer side of things seems dim and underdeveloped the multiplayer with friends is a huge blast. 1v1 can bring 2 hour wars of attrition or quick sweeps with rush builds that either get crushed with well-thought defense placements or heavy investment for the countering unit(s). Many people are bashing this game for the lack of depth and while the game certainly does lack depth, it can teach a deep appreciation for rts games with it's handful of interesting mechanics to even someone like me who has never touched many rts. If a single dollar can teach me the basics of an rts and build appreciation for more polished games like Starcraft and Red Alert, I'd say that's a dollar damn well spent.

I saw this on sale for 99 cents and when a game is that cheap, unless the offends your ancestors in some deep and unforgivable way, you buy it. I, like many others on steam, bought this simply because it's this cheap. The 90% off sale is the "we're not making any more money from this" sale last ditch attempt to produce some revenue from a title. Considering I haven't heard of this rather generic looking, what appears to be some sort of RTS game, I wasn't expecting much and I wasn't surprised in so many ways. Arena Wars 2 is a top down real-time strategy game that pits you against a player or an AI component in what is essentially a match of capture the flag. This is a "first-impression" review as I am honestly unwilling to put more than the hour and 20 minutes I put into this game. The gameplay is very mediocre and the units in the game are fairly uninspired. The game seems to be a "rock paper scissors" game in the sense that one unit is clearly designed to defeat another particular unit. Unfortunately this concept I felt was implented poorly as one unit will do more damage to another unit seemingly abritrarily and it lacks the thougthfulness of a mature RTS game. There is no tutorial or any intro missions to introduce each of the mechanics so the player is thrown in to engage in a trail and error process of figuring everything out. To this game's merit, I do like the idea. This game is designed to get he player in the action right away and matches will end quickly whereas a full RTS game might include 2 hours of base-building prior to any combat. A match or two of this game could be played on a lunch break. This game is an online game but seeing how this game doesn't have a consistent playerbase this is effectively a single player game. There are several difficulty levels and in my first hour and 20 minutes it took getting to the hardest difficulty level to experience any sort of challenge. One very annoying aspect is that these difficulty levels need to be unlocked *per level* and there are five of them. This means that for each level I want to play on, I need to suffer through four matches of boring before I get to the very average gameplay. I noticed a bug where an area-of-effect ability hits the wreck of a tower it will register damage and repeat "Turret destroyed" - there may be more bugs but finding this so readily underlines this game's overall lack of polish. The idea has some merit but I cannot recommend this title for any price. The real cost of a game your own freetime anyway. Score 4/10

Three strikes ANNNNNDDDD...it's out. 1) Nobody plays this game so If you don't have friends that play this game you won't find anyone to play against. 2) The single player "campaign" is horrible, the computer AI is really exploitable and it's just really boring. 3) It doesn't work for a lot of people and the dev doesn't support the title anymore so you are pretty much on your own on getting it to run.
