#Warno military series

Aside from a few rare exceptions, the Cold War has mostly been dominated by simulation wargames, a niche subset that doesn’t exactly boast the best accessibility, though this seems to be evolving in positive directions.Īside from the obvious excitement coming from the counterfactual “what if the Cold War went hot” scenario, this setting is also a gold mine for deep tactical gameplay that’s unlike many strategy games of a similar style, thanks to the units and weapon systems of the time period. The biggest point of attraction is the refreshing return to the Cold War-gone-hot backdrop, itself an underutilized yet mechanically rich and engaging setting. However, WARNO, even in its rough current state, sports a number of exciting elements that hint at the game’s awesome potential. At its core, it deviates little from its predecessors, which will make Wargame and Steel Division veterans immediately familiar with the game’s flow. WARNO is a real-time tactics game with an emphasis on large-scale and engaging battles in both single and multiplayer that includes a robust deck-building system that can easily count as a separate mini-game. Eugen’s WARNO aims to bring together the best parts of both franchises and write a new chapter in quality strategy gaming design.

The Wargame and Steel Division series have been the most formative for the company over the past decade, with the former introducing the signature tactical gameplay loop, while the latter iterated on key quality of life features. While not the biggest strategy game developer out there, Eugen Systems has certainly been ahead of the curve when innovating on real-time strategy game design.
