About the Game

Lead the fight. Command every unit. Win the war.

Men of War: Assault Squad delivers a deeply tactical World War II experience that combines large-scale strategy with the intensity of direct, hands-on combat. Step into the heart of battle across multiple theaters – from the European countryside to the Pacific jungles – and command every aspect of your army down to the last bullet.

Control five unique factions – the USA, USSR, Germany, Commonwealth, and Japan – each with its own units, vehicles, and combat doctrines. Use the Direct Control feature to personally operate any soldier, tank, or artillery piece on the field, turning the tide of battle through precision and skill. Every shell counts, every position matters, and every mistake can cost you victory.

Men of War: Assault Squad offers realism, variety, and tactical freedom rarely seen in real-time strategy games. Battles are unpredictable, the AI is unforgiving, and victory belongs only to those who adapt under fire.

Key Features:

  • Real-time tactical warfare – command entire squads or take direct control of any unit in the heat of combat.

  • Five diverse factions – each offering unique strategies, vehicles, and equipment.

  • Dynamic and destructible environments – reshape the battlefield with explosives, artillery, and tank fire.

  • Deep battlefield simulation – manage ammo, fuel, armor penetration, line of sight, and morale.

  • Cooperative and multiplayer skirmishes – fight alongside up to 4 allies or test your skills against players worldwide.

  • Unique hero units with powerful abilities such as increasing units' firepower, boosting morale or providing other advantages to defeat the enemy against all odds

  • Improved and dynamic AI ensures that no two missions in the game will play out the same way, making each battle a new experience against an AI that really fights back

  • Enhanced combat realism – overhauled infantry squads, improved weapon physics and armor penetration, a reworked artillery system with new tactical options, and specialized ammunition that boosts tank firepower.
