Rifle Deathmatch is a free-for-all styled match where players can only use the bolt-action rifle. Finally, Squad Defense is the only strictly co-op styled mode. You and three squad mates will be placed in position to defend a location against an endless horde of AI soldiers. One of the interesting aspects of this game is that the player can be placed in squads, allowing the entire squad to level up and progress in their own way.
This involves a larger amount of strategy, despite the fact that it is an FPS. The various squad mates need to progress in a way to support the rest of their squad efficiently. The campaign includes three storylines to participate in. The first is Richard the Lionheart's war in France during the medieval periods. Finally, the last one, and the reason it makes this list, is the adventures of General George S.
Patton during World War II. This also includes a scenario editor in which players can create new battle scenarios using these different soldiers. This allows for an expansive selection of battles to choose from. Darkest Hour is a strategy game that focuses on small, contained scenarios rather than these huge campaigns. The year and event is outlined in the selection screen and you can participate during the events of those time, like the invasion of Poland or the start to World War I.
You then take control of the country of your choice, whichever group would be significant for the time period chosen, and play out the events that unfold. It does not focus on the battles themselves in any great detail, instead taking an approach more similar to Risk. You move your army to the land you want to take and you do a quick battle to represent conquering the nation. The more interesting aspects of the game come from the diplomacy and intrigue.
You set your policies and govern the way your nation is going to go. Rather than fighting every battle on a battlefield, sometimes the choice is offered to send in spies and sabotage your enemies from the inside.
It adds more levels of strategy than the simplistic way most games just have you march your armies across enemy land. As the spiritual successor to the Panzer General series, this turn-based strategy game that places you in the role of the Nazis. Placed as the general of the Axis army, the player is tasked with fighting for the glory of Germany across 26 scenarios.
The army the player leads can upgrade itself as they successfully complete these scenarios, earning themselves better weaponry. Not only that, the core faction within your military is made up of units of your choice. With over units to use, there are a lot of possibilities for you to explore. There is also a multiplayer offered, allowing you to battle it out in historical battles or balanced scenarios with other players.
The game supports cross-platform gameplay, allowing players on PC to play with players who have the iPad version. For one of the biggest wars in history, some major strategic action should be required in any strategy game centered around that war. In Hearts of Iron IV , the story follows the player taking the role of any of the great leaders, such as Winston Churchill or Joseph Stalin, and leading their nation to battle against either the Axis or the Allies.
This game takes into account not only the topography of the war, spanning across both Europe and Asia, but also the various significant events that would hinder or assist armies. Weather plays a large role. For instance, a defending army might have the advantage over an invader marching through the dead of winter. Each nation also has its own unique edge during the war, the technology tree changing depending on the nation controlled. The gameplay itself features a Risk-like board across the entirety of Europe and Asia, allowing the player to position troops and move them from their territory into enemy territory.
The player moves their troops in the direction they wish, whether it is to transport troops or invade the neighboring lands. Taking into account weather and terrain, the player is able to better make these choices. Along with that, should the player be up against overwhelming odds, diplomacy becomes an option as well, allowing the player to rewrite history to develop their own victory. Given the era, this also allows for battle on any frontier, whether it land, sea, or air.
Another entry that focuses on World War I, Valiant Hearts has a charming comic book style to it that is not seen often in this genre.
The game takes more of a focus on puzzles rather than the battles themselves, creating a narrative through its campaign. You play as four strangers who cross paths during the events of the war and, together, try to retain their humanity during these terrible times in the trenches.
The focus remains on the puzzles, using various means to make your way through the campaign, often trying to avoid enemies rather than outright fighting against them. This is hands down one of the most charming depictions of this time period, focusing on the human side to the soldiers that would risk their lives to defend their homeland.
This game focuses on the naval warfare that occurred during the Battle of the Atlantic. You can play as either the Allies or the German Navy, the Kriegsmarine. There is a campaign, allowing for 50 missions between the two factions as you battle it out for control of the Atlantic channels. Ranging from protecting convoys to hunting the enemy ships with submarines, there are a lot of options in the way your missions can go.
While this is mostly naval warfare, there are a number of aircrafts that can also be used, attacking from the sky to give your army the edge.
If the campaign isn't quite your style, there is also PVP styled matches, allowing for up to ten ships on both sides of the conflict. This allows for some major battles between fleets as you battle for the Atlantic. Skip to main content. Level up. Earn rewards.

Battle Of Empires: is a real-time strategy game where players lead their factions into war. Unlike most RTS games, each individual unit in the game can turn the tides of war.
Gameplay emphasizes and encourages actual strategy than just a brute-force strength-in-numbers play. Players can also control individual units as if playing a shooter game. Like actual war principles, stealth, flanking, and guerilla tactics are possible in Battle Of Empires. The game also has a multiplayer mode on top of a story-driven campaign.
Gameplay and combat are slow-paced and methodical as a proper war simulator should be. Unlike Battlefield 1 , Tannenberg and Verdun aren't run-and-gun kinds of games. This allows the players to truly immerse themselves in the feel of war. They are but equipped with bolt-action rifles where a single shot is lethal.
Maneuvering in this game should also be careful since there are no arcadey baseball slides to dodge projectiles. Just good ole fashioned cover-to-cover trench warfare. Matches are large-scale supporting up to 64 players.
Tannenberg offers more gritty gameplay outside of a market unsaturated by battle royales and action shooters. Rise Of Flight is a dogfighter game where players take control of WWI fighter planes and wage aerial assaults across the skies.
