Strategy games represent probably one of the most diversified video game genres, as they include Real-Time Strategies, such as StarCraft 2, both giant 4X and Grand Strategy productions which are bound to overwhelm players with their level of detail as well as their simplified versions (e.g. games in the Total War series) and… tycoons that basically are a totally different cup of tea.

Unity of Command 2
GENERAL INFORMATION
- Developer & Publisher: 2x2 Games
- Platforms: PC
- Premiere: 12 November
Unity of Command II is a continuation of the turn-based strategy set in WWII and released in 2011. This time around, players get to fight on the Western Front. They take command over allied forces and participate in historical battles as well as alternative versions of actual events that were developed by the game creators. In terms of gameplay mechanics, Unity of Command II is a regular turn-based strategy, however, it stands out from similar productions thanks to its system modeling the influence of supplies and logistics on the combat abilities of your army. The game takes place on a map players see from the top-down perspective.
Apart from planning different war strategies, players have to develop their HQs to get access to new skills – this is a new idea introduced by this particular installment. Also interesting is the increase of influence intelligence has – players can capture enemy soldiers and interrogate them to learn about the opponents’ positions.
Unity of Command II is a good, however not groundbreaking, strategy game set during WWII, and it’s bound to provide players with tens of hours of playtime.
