Arena Wars 2

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...

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.

The kind of game you want, when you search something simple to play against a friend... its a simple, light, epic game, but you may have problems to play 1v1 online, which is bad. Comparing prices i guess it is too high, since company of heroes is a lot cheaper and graphics, gameplay are way better, so my opinion is to go for company of heroes,...

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.

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.

Steam Stop putting this game on sale when it does not actually work for the vast majority of peaople who buy this game. My time put into this game as been dedicated to trying to make it get past the load screen, which it has failed to do. i have no play time and wasted my money on this game. IT DOES NOT WORK, fix it and stop puting it up for sale

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.

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.

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 Destr...

This is the best 99 cent i ever spend on a 99 cent game. You need to buy this game even when its your last money!!!!
