For anyone that enjoys the MOWAS2 game mechanic, Cold War is just as enjoyable to play and learn. Like the other titles in this series, it takes a little practice to learn the strengths and weaknesses of the various units, but definitely rewarding once learned. It shares the same game play features as Call to Arms, but in a Cold War theme. The only drawback is the limited content/maps included with the game. 2 …

Some serious flaws for such a late 2019 release: Cannot play the campaign longer than 20 minutes, because the AI is so hard and the win limit so low. The loadouts are strange, mixed with M1 carbines, M1 garands, some MGs I never heard of. With my mod and the FPS mod, it is enjoyable though. Oh wait, how does one enable mods? Well you have to spend 5 hours alone for figuring that out. For 3 Euros it is a very good …

God this game sucks. It's really bad. Everything about it is just so terrible. As soon as you start the game up, you immediately know its terrible. The menus are completely reworked, and not for the better. What was completely fine before is now convoluted and hard to understand. Once you figure out the menus, you'll be catapulted into the "battle" system. If you go into this game thinking at the VERY least it'll be …

Cash grab that's it. This is one of the worst games made by this dead company. I expected something cool, atleast a cold war reskin of MoWaS2, instead i got something even worse (Not that men of war AS2 was bad, I loved it). I tried to be like "atleast I can make enjoyable editor missions, but I shouldn't have to completely make everything. I hate this game, DO NOT EVEN GET IT FOR THE MEME. THIS IS TERRIBLE!

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I remembered hearing about how bad this game was, but I thought it might be a little fun since it's on sale for a quid. Nope, even for 1 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ British pound I feel slightly cheated, this game is utter dogsh*t, maybe it you ever see it free somewhere it might be worth subjecting yourself to for 10 minutes of gargling piss for funsies, but for the love of Khrushchev's corn cob shaped knob don't spend your hard earned pennies on this crap.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I never review games on Steam but i felt compelled on this one... I bought this game in a bundle and probably paid about $2.00 for it and being entirely sincere... $2.00 for this game is a rip off. When I launched it I thought this was a fairly old game that was included in the bundle... I am shocked to see that this was released in 2019?! How its possible to release a game in 2019 that looks plays and feels as bad as this one is an achievement all its own. The UI and UX is one of the worst…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What boggles me is that this game is worse than Assault Squad 2. To make a game inferior in performance, gameplay, and UI to its predecessor means that there has been an ACTIVE effort to make the game worse. They literally could have ripped mods from the MOW:AS2 workshop, imported it directly into Assault Squad 2, and it would have still been superior to this game. I don't understand. This had to have been purposeful.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This should be taken off of steam
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i never and i mean never thought id feel cheated for $1.99, i would have rather enjoyed a coke than this but how can you fall so far from the tree and make this ass then men of war 2 beta seemed okay like why even scam people like this
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The graphics are awful and there is no single player campaign.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Abandonware No campaign Unit pathfinding and responivness is awful A huge number of issues that need to be adressed before this game can even be played properly I got this in a bundle and feel like it was years ago when you guy a PC magazine or Gaming related you get a CD full of game demos. This feels like one such demo.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just an abandoned game, not good at all. Devs gone lol
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game I have ever played. It makes me sad I spent money on this. I love the Men of War series, but this literally is worse than a mod made by someone following a tutorial. It is a disgusting cash grab and please don't waste your money on it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Please do not buy this game! Its a cash grab! I am very disapointed that the devs of MOWAS2 decided that this was a finished product! 24$ too?! I got it on sale for 2 dollars, but even then its still a ripoff. Not even for curiosity sake, trusts me you'll be disapointed. Everything wrong with this game includes: Janky animations Rushed production Non existent (nearly impossible to beat) campaign. Awful Skirmishes ONLY 2 FACTIONS!? 24$ Price no substance! Like 5 maps! Awful start up menu The…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do not buy!!! They count the OG time with this addon as though you played this addon for that amount of time. Money grab and dishonest.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just bad And it doesnt work. No campaign. No MP games. Its just bad. Waste of money. Not even free i would recommend this.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →That's a joke or what? Where is the single player campaign? This is some PVP match with bots, not a campaign
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →abandoned, and ♥♥♥♥
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is one of the craziest game recycles here on steam. Many assets have been taken from Call to Arms. The ones that are new are just made without love and quality. You can pick a 4k modelled AK74 (taken from Call to Arms) or you use the AK47 which looks like it has been taken from MOWAS 1. Most of the map objects like houses, fences and so on are a copy paste from CtA too. I mean yeah, the game does offer a "unique" setting, regarding MoW and CtA, but if you take a closer look its just a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It’s like they took Men of War, stripped out the soul and duct-taped a Cold War skin on it. This game made me feel like a real Cold War general, mostly because nothing moved, nothing worked, and everything was locked in a silent, frozen stalemate.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →bought this piece of ♥♥♥♥ game the day it released and it never got another update, dont waste money on it even on a sale. if you want a good cold war, get a gates of hell or MOWAS2 cold war mod
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this is a certified hood dumpster fire of a game pros: the fact you can put the camera close to the soldiers the graphics helicopter helicopter cons: the camera in the editor almost no content the troops have no ammo pouches and bags or back packs so there just getting ammo out of there super big pockets only two country's USSR and America even if it's called nato and The Warsaw Pact it's just 2 both country's have good tanks but there's so little and there's only 2 btr's in…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Lack of units, vehicles and factions makes the game very boring very soon. The main menu is confusing at the very least, unlike the simple menu in Mowas2. As for the animations and effects, the shooting sounds and impacts are made better, in my opinion, however, animations could still use some work. The game would be great, if it included more factions, more units and if its editor was managed better, in terms of names and diving the units into their respective groups, as in Mowas2. The voices…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a MOW fan for a pretty long time , this game disappoint me. Its just bad, like garbage bad XD. idk why but my fps just drop whenever i got in a match [im using rtx 3050 btw] +controls are wierd +gameplay are just simply worse than MOWAS2, eventhough they are under "MOWAS2" name. ~[won`t recommend] that`s it!~
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good idea but the devs abandoned it, 20 usd is way too much money, get it if it's 5 usd max, the game can't even decide if it want's to be Vietnam war era or Korean war era overall don't buy just play one of the cold war mods for Gates of Hell or MoW AS2
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you hate yourself, like i do, you will have a very dreadful time playing this game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got this on sale for £1.69. I feel ripped off.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →whichever small penis specimen added the obominations of helicopters into this game, need to be locked up and have their 1 inch weiner removed, it melts my brain how STRONG THEY ARE. I SET UP THE PERFECT FORTIFICATION, AND SOME SPED VIRGINS IN A FLYING FORTRESS RUIN IT
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →cash grab DO NOT BUY
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One sentence that sums up this game. Not even worth a free to play label.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very disappointing even for a game I picked up for $3.59 I really cannot recommend this, and I'm a big fan of the series. I thought "ya know what the hell even if the reviews are bad its going cheap" but I honestly really cannot even say it was worth that amount. Very sad to say this game is so so lacking
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought it for like 7 dollars on sale. NOT EVEN worth that much played an hour of the campaign. Absolutley sucked. Not even close to worth it. Just don't even bother with it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →to many crash and bug,
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I tried to play the game for 30 minutes. I have played most of the MoW series and loved them, but this game was so bad and made no sense. I thought I was doing something wrong or didn't understand the game, so I googled the game and found a video explaining that this game is just really bad. It is going into the never ever play again category.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Although the game was quite dull I completed it out of curiosity to see the ending Only to discover that nothing happens at all. 10/10 would get a refund Update: If you really want a Cold War experience, just buy Men of War: Assault Squad 2 and download the Cold War mod instead.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's bad. A little funny for a bit before realising it's just bad.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Abysmal, do not bother buying, and i bought it for $2.95
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →just a reskin of MOWAS2 seems more like a mod then a actual game, fun in editor but outside of it, this game just sucks, i don't recommend buying at all, just get a cold war mod for MOWAS2.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, how bad is this? It's extremely unfinished, missing animations, barely any units, some items etc do not even have a proper name etc, has like no content (5 maps) and the AI is braindead. Worst RTS I have ever played.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →where the hell I was when this game was released... (where the devs where!). Very similar to Call To Arms but even with much less love. Maps sucks and there are just a few for 8 players in Assault Zones and none for 1v1 unless you change to Anhilation... However, I will keep it in my collection. Buy Call To Arms instead.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i like men of war as2. however cold war could have been made a dlc for for call to arms or men of war instead of a stand alone. i dont think this content is worth the price but it is however fun to play with friends still. if you want to buy it i recommend waiting for a sale.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →game crash every 5 min, poor campain
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No real campaign just conquest with a few new units and weapons. In conquest the enemies dont stop coming at you so enjoy being bummed.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I do not always ask for a refund. This time I did. It has nothing to do with the Assault squad, furthermore looks unfinished.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got this for $2. It isn't even worth that it's such a pile of hot garbage. For context, this DLC was a mod. The publisher/developer (probably publisher) decided to steal it and make it a DLC. Except somehow, it is worse than the mod.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really bad, repetitive and dumb gameplay, has nothing to do with original series.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →not good as expected
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I made the mistake of buying this game,twice....When I first bought it I liked it because I installed a good mod that made it a cold war game.But for some reason it uninstalled randomly without my knowledge.So I had to reinstall it again and had to pay for it again!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Cold War setting sounded interesting at first, especially because it offered something different from the usual World War II campaigns. Unfortunately, after a few hours it became clear that this felt more like a standalone DLC than a proper Men of War game. The biggest problem is the structure. Previous Men of War titles focused on missions, objectives, different scenarios and at least some form of campaign progression. Cold War replaces that with a repetitive system of earning resources,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this one is just bad i shouldnt be seeing dev tooltips and internal ids without turning on a debug of some kind
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its legit just multiplayer or play with/against AIs, see no point
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unfinished, abandoned product - released in a rush, but still on steam sales (??!), and at the same time, completely without any developers support for patches?!??! Avoid any Fulqrum Publishing product, it's not a business at all.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This Game Has Multiplayer. And U Can Play Multiplayer When Ever U Want. But The WorkShop Has Only 8 Mods In Total Available To This Game Including Maps And Add-ons. Not Worth It Every One Is Packing Up To Call To Arms And Telling U Should To. Not Even Worth Ur 1.99 Cents But if ur a collector Like Me Try It Out. Content Wise Not So Much This Game Has Very Few Vehicles and Weapons added Mostly From MoWAS2. Has no Missions to Play Only Offline and Online Skirmishes And That's It. Not Recommended…
