That's not like me and Men Of War, we made for grind.

Taking them out is essential, or you get F4s dropping bombs on you, which does not help with victory.Īs the level goes on, however, I find it a bit of a grind. These are dudes with binoculars who need to be killed to stop the Americans calling in air support on you. There's an extra element in there for this one: spotters. American enemies are attacking and you've got to use tanks and infantry together to hold off the assault. For this second level it's a classic base defence of the kind that Men Of War does really well. I jotted down “voice acting terrible” in my notepad, and that's /good thing/.īy the time I hit level two, 'Gatecrashers', I was feeling more confident that the game would throw interesting things at me. I should note, at this point, that the voice-acting is terrible, too, which seems faithful to the Men Of War experience. I could probably have done with a bit more room to flank the enemy base, however. Great!Īnyway, having begun this troubling level thinking “hmm, I don't like these small squad stealth missions much”, I am pleased that it's actually pretty meticulously constructed. I am not sure I prefer it to 1940s towns and shattered Russian villages, but the game pulls it out without a hitch, vegetation sprawling everywhere. What does seem promising from this first taste of the game, however, is the jungle environment. It made my heart sink a bit from its usual peppy buoyancy. It's often difficult to precisely determine when you are going to be spotted, and setting off lots of enemies and getting suddenly murdered is a clear problem. The stealth systems in Men Of War do work, sort of, but only after a fashion. It's a tall order, and frankly I found it a bit of a task. It's a level where you have a small squad and are required to infiltrate a base, kill some dudes, knock out an enemy helicopter, and then escape in a stolen vehicle. Until The Trouble Troubles You troubles me. The levels, as you might have been able to interpret from my infographical illustration, are called 'Until The Trouble Troubles You', 'Gatecrashers', 'What A Job!' And 'Die Hard Attack'. Here is my graph of excitement over time for the four level preview build of Men Of War: Vietnam that was sent to us by 1c. I've given a little overview of each of these level below, and have discovered that my description represents a sort of plan of the increasing degrees of excitement that I am experiencing.

1c sent over four levels from the full game, and I've played through them. This week I've been submerged in the murky jungle waters of forthcoming real-time tiny-men commander, Men Of War: Vietnam.
