Call to Arms Video Game Series

Strategy 11 June 2021

A tactical RTS set during World War II that expands on the Men of War franchise. It was developed by Barbed Wire studio, known for its modifications to both games from Men of War: Assault Squad series. Gates of Hell gives us a wide view on the war, taking us on battlefields of all years and fronts: from snowy plains of USSR to sun-scorched sands of Africa. Gameplay is focused on the tactical layer, without any form of resource gathering or base building. We direct all of our attention to commanding our units, with building being limited to trenches or setting up barbed wire and mine fields. We can also take control of a single soldier and control him like in an action game. One of the strongest elements of the production is realism: the creators have carefully recreated not only appearance, but also battle skills of various armies.

Strategy 27 April 2018

A military real-time strategy with action game features, developed by Digitalmindsoft, the studio that created the popular Men of War series together with Best Way. Unlike the aforementioned series, Call to Arms takes place in modern times, giving us access to weaponry used by present armies (e.g. M1 Abrams tank or the Humvee). Players can choose from two factions, a dozen of vehicles, artillery units and more than 60 types of handheld weapons, which can also be modified as the game progress by adding scopes, rifle butts, barrels etc. A certain novelty is the so-called direct control mode, which allows us to play as any unit and take part in the battle from third-person perspective. As far as the technical side is considered, the game uses a modified version of engine that was used in last parts of the Men of War series.
