Axis & Allies 1942 Online Reviews

Like the board game but way faster. I love the "low luck " mode. You can also go into the save files and custom set up the game how ever you like, not too hard to do. Only thing I dont like is sometimes it is hard to see if your units are going where you want to and It might be nice to have a ROUND SAVE, or UNDO after you find out a unit did not move or can be placed .... possible throwing the units away and having to restart the game.

The game is a mostly faithful adaptation of the board game, though it seems to lack a lot of polish and refinements to make it a great experience for someone not familiar with the board game. I would say that if you love Axis and Allies you should certainly pick this up (especially if you can get it on sale) but if you are new to it, you may want experience the board game version first.

You can play over and over, and it is never the same game. Like Chess. The game is also competitive in computer mode as well.

Almost (like 90 per cent) as good as the Board Game Experience. Never use that standard setup, always go with Gen. setup if you want a good game. Game mechanics are fine, the dice are not always your friend. The AI is not impressive. Especially the AI Allies seem very un-coordinated, and Ally Coordination is key to winning.

This is a very nice online version of axis and allies 1942, it is best suited for people who love the axis and allies series or just like strategy games in general.

Good adaptation of the classic board game. There is currently a large online community with a good ranking system for even match making. It's like chess on a world map. No two games are the same. The AI is good enough to learn the rules but quickly becomes too easy. Allot of players use battle calculators which are pretty much a requirement to reach the upper ranks. There are some good calcs online. This is probably the best: https://aa1942calc.com/

Extremely fun and in-depth strategy game with fun play against robots and fun online game play with reasonable turn limits. While the game has some minor bugs they don't really impact game play. The discord community is also very active and fun, I would highly recommend the game.

Truly the best way to play the board game: no set-up time, keeps track of everything. Beamdog has done a solid job of making all the pieces and moves "readable"--seriously, attack moves make for a busy board, and I've only had a few occasions where I discovered I had miss-clicked after the fact. Pleeeeease keep developing, and make more of these, and give us a map editor. TripleA is okay, but there should be an official place to play ranked, and share custom set-ups and house-rules mods.

I haven't loaded this game in years, and when I went back to it today it says I am banned. No explanation, no remedy, just screw me I guess. Do not waste your money on a game that will arbitrarily ban you when you aren't even using the software. Garbage product from a garbage company.

Whatever AI is controlling the computer play is not good enough. Whether you're playing the axis or the allies, the opponent (AI/system) has no idea how to properly utilize their navy. Makes the game too easy to win.
