The value story

The value story

It has been discounted 31 times in the 4 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 50 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today's $19.79 at 67 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.

It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 97 percent. Men of War II ($44.99, scores 6) outscores it, and so does Soldiers: Heroes of World War II - Enhanced Edition ($4.99, scores 60). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say

this game is insanely beautiful and i would recommend it based on the graphics alone. the game itself is very hard to get into. I am an avid RTS player, but this game requires a whole lot of micro across the maps, and it can get very overwhelming / frustrating very quick (units dying without you knowing, etc.). other than that, the gameplay mechanic, maps, and graphics are top tier. you just need to be willing to...

Lots of fun. It is a good combination of Company Of Heroes 1 and Company Of Heroes 2.

Litterally one of the most broken and usless made games out there, what a waste of money, imagine making a game and then changing it all the time. Then giving one side literally better units, infantry, tanks, arty, everything at their finger tips while you struggle to fight any unit one on one with what you have. The moderators in the forum are on some crazy ego trip, they ban you for speaking against them in...
