MAKE SURE TO READ THE TOS. Specifically the clause about them transferring your PII to a third party indiscriminately if sold. Especially about the part where they hold onto your information for an undisclosed amount of time. Meanwhile, I can spin up another super simple game that doesn't do that. Just by those clauses alone they're probably going to sell your data, because they always want more, and more. Never …

This review is for the casual players, such as myself. I've been playing Warno on and off since it released, whether it be on my own or with friends. 90% of the time I or we are fighting the games AI which always results in shutting the game off and playing something else. The AI in this game is horribly programmed, they always have perfect counter play to whatever strats or units you are using, always seem to know …

Watching people whinge and moan about the artillery rework is disappointing to see. Artillery used to be one of the most easily spammable things in the game with very little counter-play as you would queue up the movement order with the fire mission, and if you did it right your artillery would never get hit by return fire. Now you actually have to think when you use your artillery. Where do I place my heavy guns …

The game is fine, and in fact is very good. The undisclosed and rampant use of gen AI imagery and voices throughout the tutorials and loading screens is very disappointing. All of these elements feel like they were placeholders awaiting the genuine art and artistry....but it never emerged. As gamers we appreciate art - games are art. Unfortunately this developed has chosen genAI over artists as a cost cutting and …

Love this game. The different divisions and gameplay styles are great. Pretty well balanced. Lots of fun running 2v2s. Biggest complaint is the lack of players. PLS MARKET THE GAME

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Needs a basic realism update before I can recommend. I understand they're trying to "balance" the game, but its been done the wrong way. Its painful to watch M1A2 Abrams losing tank duels against T-62's, something that is nearly beyond the realm of concievability, and to watch it happening consistently. If you want to give Warsaw Pact forces a "fair chance", give them more tanks! Use history to help your game! Russian made vehicles are unilaterally of significantly lower quality, efficacy, and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I loved this game but using and trying to hide the use of generative AI is utterly unacceptable.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really fun game, but they started putting a bunch of ♥♥♥♥♥♥-looking AI loading screens and awful AI VA in the game. If you can't afford to hire real people why even have voice acting? why use a bunch of royalty-free music but then take the AI shortcut in other places? Real shame, because the game is super fun, but seeing the AI ♥♥♥♥ in it really drags the game down.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I used to love this game. BUT. Using AI generated content in promotional material and NOT disclosing it on the store page is a HUGE personal no-no.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is okay overall, a lot of the new DLC just feels like paying for reskins but the basegame units are fine enough by themselves anyways. The real problem is the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ AI loading screens and officer portraits for army general, they don't fit the game at all and make it look like slop, they really need to go.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →WARNO was in Early Access for forever, and yet Eugen still treats the live version like the real test server. For old players, this is the same old Eugen cycle all over again. Half-finished mechanics get shoved into the game, players become unpaid QA, and somehow we are expected to call this an update. This artillery rework gutted advanced artillery so badly that old guns are now the only sensible pick. The funniest part is that even during Early Access, the balance and actual gameplay were…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I find it completely disgustingly unfair that despite paying full price or on discount that you don't really "own" the content you're paying for, having an important portion of the game locked behind "community guidelines" that affect all instances of the game inside multiplayer, including PRIVATE SERVERS. It would have been understandable if you could of gotten banned from community servers for a set time, however being banned from all instances of multiplayer is disgustingly unfair. This…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was a huge fan of the Wargame series and super excited for this one. The gameplay has some nice QOL improvements and the sound effects are super nice. It looks good, too. The campaign differs from Wargame a little bit in that you can't refit or rearm your units and there aren't set sectors. Overall gameplay and visual wise, it's nice. The downside is there's a lot of AI usage. The unit portraits, the backgrounds, and the biggest offender is the voice-acting. It's all painfully AI. A lot of…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →fun, but unplayable for new players, go play Broken Arrow, they kicked me out of almost every server because i was under lvl 20. like bro, how do you expect me to get better if i can't play against real people? as of recent, the situation has improved, still wish there were more casual players, but it is a 8much* more enjoyable experience

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Warno is a good game. I find it fun, relatively balanced and overall it captures my attention well. I do not recommend Warno to anyone. More content than comes with the base game is hidden behind absurdly high priced DLC that comprises most of the better divisions and interesting units in the game. Eugen Systems also struggles deeply with transparency, and isn't interested in making the game "good" for the playerbase. Don't buy Warno.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game lacks the quality of the original wargames and comes short where realism is important. It would be better to "revive" and improve Wargame Red Dragon with the few tools they added here. For example, the IFV autocannons do almost no damage to helos and whenever I check out the game again, nothing has changed. Infantry units can tank damage when running over open ground and expensive tanks panic immediately and miss every shot after they lose 1 hp. Or the fact that good infantry is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun gaem but AI slop loading screens and voicelines? Can you not afford some stock photos at least? Oh but you know too damn well selling overpriced DLCs for that to be the case. Even if it was the best game on earth I'd still give it a negative review just because of stuff like this.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Dutch campaign in WARNO is low key the most relatable video game story of all time because it’s about trying to unfuck your mess after showing up to work late. You mean the communists invaded over the weekend? I thought they were supposed to be friends of the working man!
positive · AI labelView post →Not interested in Multiplayer as games like this too often fall into RTS cheese. I was really enjoying the single player content, but every few weeks they update the game and it runs the risk of corrupting your save file for Army General campaigns which, if you're like me and might be able to play only once or twice a week for a few hours, means you're always running the risk of losing your progress. You can "rollback" but this doesn't always work, especially if you have mods, and even mods…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Horrible for new players completely unfun and rigged and P2W multiplayer that punishes new and clueless players AI loading screens and cheating AI enemy if you want less RNG then I suggest you play Company of Heroes 2 or CTA GoH or any RTS infact but not this ♥♥♥♥♥♥ excuse of a strategy game. Inconsistent matchmaking where you can beat a lvl 29 with 700hrs and then a lvl 7 fresh player creates an unstoppable wall of death. If you want good cold war gameplay buy GHPC because then you are…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I leveled an entire city block and still lost. Watched the replay and saw I didn't hit any units, nor were there any units there to begin with. For this transgression against my unquestionable tactical genius I am going to bomb the next city twice as hard as payback. 10/10 would learn nothing from my mistakes again
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →WARNO is a real-time tactics game without base-building or resource mining. Instead, players manage battlegroups built from a vast roster of Cold War-era NATO and Warsaw Pact units, spanning infantry, armor, air, and artillery. Each battle is about map control, positioning, and logistics. The improved AI and command mechanics make both single-player and multiplayer skirmishes feel more dynamic. Units behave more intelligently — taking cover, retreating under heavy fire, and reacting to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game uses AI generated portraits and some AI generated loading screens. Possibly more, because, as you might notice, the studio does not disclose or aknowledge their generative AI usage anywhere.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game but they think they Creative Assembly with all these paid content DLC LMAOOOOOOOO way too much dlc to be using AI slop in your game. Pick one.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →so fun. its like being 10 years old again playing R.U.S.E. Totally worth it if you like RTS game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The line of sight and stealth mechanics in this game make no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sense. The amount of times I've had an enemy ATGM fly THROUGH multiple buildings or tree lines and snipe my tanks and logistics makes me genuinely want to pull my hair out. I'm ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ over it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A few missions into the campaign (Slitherine sent me a key), and I'm really quite impressed with Broken Arrow. It kinda sits at the intersection between World In Conflict (singleplayer focus, accessible, cinematic) and Eugen games like Wargame & WARNO (technical, multiplayer-heavy) and does it well
neutral · AI labelView post →I got WARNO all the way back in early access because I love Wargame: Red Dragon and I felt like it was kind of bland and stale and decided to give it some time in the oven. Imagine my surprise when I gave it another try four years later and it still feels just as bad.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't know who decided to add this arty rework from Eugen, but they actually need to be removed from any balancing decision for any game permanently.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought this game with the intent to mostly play the Army general mode. Keep this in mind because some of what I am going to say probably doesn't matter in the context of multiplayer, and I know that is why a lot of people like this game, but if you are going to have a mode it should be good. I enjoy that style of game the most, and although it had flaws I very much liked the sd2 version and war game red dragon has an amazing one. One problem, that is a carry over from sd2, is that with…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is a good game which takes the best of Red Dragon and Steel division and combines it all. The issue is the time between updates causing playerbase crashes as well as the quality of life promises and major gameplay changes and mechanics which were forgotten and shelved. Greater transparency is needed from the devs for accurate timelines if theyre going to be charging money for these DLC and want the playerbase to care. is it a good game? Its decent, the formula is there, its just still…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →good ass game even for a PC like mine, game never crashes and runs smoothly even with graphics on max.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is not half bad but i'd like to see vehicle and infantry customization on par with broken arrow, also i dont like the ai generated loading screen slides, it just looks like slop. rather have a blank black screen
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty cool strategy game but desperately needs to allow for vehicle formations, ie. echelon left and right, wedge and diamond as well as column and line. The hap hazard way you have to move individual tanks and Bradley's on a top down strategy game that requires your attention all over the map is not good. And you need to add the 1st armor division as I know for a fact the 1st Armor's GDP (ground defensive position) during the cold war was the Fulda gap. I was there:P It is otherwise…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Latest update is the biggest L in this history of this amazing game. Artillery now has a blanket rule of ALL arty getting a 10 sec set up and 25 sec pack up. MAKING ARTY USELESS. Howitzers and MLRS's. Now, first why? A LOUD MINORITY of people on reddit have been making noise about how arty cannot be countered. Especially self propelled and MLRS. THAT IS THE DAMN POINT. IRL, THESE DAMN MACHINES WERE MADE EXACTLY FOR THAT. SHOOT AND SCOOT. WHAT IS THE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ POINT OF PUTTING IT IN THE GAME…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →IMO the best non-base building RTS there is,especially for the era its set in
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is GOOD. as long as you DO NOT touch the MULATIPLAYER button there is no balance in this game even in rank 1v1, some ranked map is basicly unplayable with tank divisions, and there is still no elo match system or automatch like broken arrow for 2v2 to 10v10, making this game so unfriendly for noob players
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Recent changes to artillery are good and add gameplay depth and counterplay to a previously brainless unit type. Ignore the whingers
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A worthy successor to Red Dragon, and easily the premier tactical wargame on the market today. Stunning graphics, intuitive controls, and easy to learn commands make micromanagement simple.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →great game thought sever are dead and all updates are dlc.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →WARNO and Broken Arrow go in parallel together, But not on the same path. WARNO is based on a large-scale map, Bigger Economy, More Units and less micromanagement. WARNO contains a vast option of unit selections more than broken arrow, You choose a specific division and you build your own deck from the big pool of units in each catagory available in that division. I find the campaign or the story lackluster and isn't really a campaign, If it was called scenarios, It would be more fitting.…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game but uses AI art, and predatory DLC. Don't support these devs.

neutral · AI labelView post →WARNO for (what's hopefully) tonight's game
neutral · AI labelView post →Great game. Lots of content for a PVE only player such as myself. I do wish there was more PVE content in the more recent DLCs.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game but it falls into the same trap so many of these games do. If you play on narmal or lower if fine. As at normal the ai only cheats a little. Like know where your hidden units are along with a few other things. However if you go any higher then that the Ai cheats hard. All if its units are just better. The reload fast, they never miss, every hit is a kill. Give the Ai the worst tank in the game but play on the higest difficulty well now they can beat the best tank in the game 9 time out…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You learn to appreciate this game after 100 hours of Broken Arrow really. 10v10s is a mixed bag, but very easy to get into, the skill floor isnt absurdly high, and you should be getting the hang of it after a couple of games. I reckon it would be extremely more balanced and fun after the arty rework. 1v1s have an absurdly high skill floor. Ive tried some ranked games and I've never won once lmao. But it is a much more in depth and tactical experience, incredibly fun to watch too. Not much…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really want to enjoy this game but the AI's cheesing of line-of-sight and its overall jankiness is really holding it back, even in singleplayer.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ive thought about getting this game so many times. This week I spent hours watching youtube videos and reading reddit posts to see if this game was worth it. I was bored today and made the plunge and spent almost 4 hours tonight doing all the tutorials and playing a few skirmishes. I still have no idea how to really play effectively but if i didnt have to work in the morning I wouldve played all night. I cannot believe I waited so long to even try this. If youre like me, googling this vs…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great sound and graphics and quite fun to play. Easy to learn hard to master kinda deal BUT HUGE wasted potential, AI slop for pics and voicelines, overpriced dlcs that don't really add anything interesting. All dlcs are basically either a campaign or a few units + skins. It also seems that any big updates (or any updates in general) are not gonna come anymore/ any time soon, the devs instead chose to shove them into DLCs. Big potential lost, not really worth it full price. Maybe snipe on a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Eugen makes exceptional titles and this is another, however this is the absolute worst of the worst for game disconnection due to packet loss etc. Aussie internet doesn't help however I haven't had major issues with any other Eugen titles, it's borderline unplayable in Warno. Eugen needs to get on top of this as it's a bit of a pisstake for such an established company to not have a better system to prevent players dropping from over 40-50% of games due to connections issues. A real shame as I'd…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →WARNO is a game made in... Yes everyone knows. This is purely a 10v10 perspective. I've also completed all achievements and done multiple runs of Army General and all Operations. (All achievements currently 49/49) Nothing is perfect not even WARNO. My previous experience with these type of games was Steel Division 2. I learned how to play Steel Division 2 in approx. 100 hours to be competitive and take advantage of the different terrain. Seemed very simple to determine the matchups and know…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's like toy soliders and chess had a little love-child. Online community can be unwelcoming if you have no clue what you're doing. Playing casually with/against friends is solid fun though if you're into real-time strategy and modern wargames. Not gonna lie, the DLC practices of this game are straight predatory at normal listing prices, and I'm not paying $5 for every new division that gets added to the game, considering the options in the base game are slim. You can build solid battlegroups…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I used to be a player of Wargame: Red Dragon. I got into the game back in 2019 and have always loved your work. That’s why I’ve supported and purchased all your releases, including the Steel Division series. As the player base of Red Dragon kept shrinking, I moved on to WARNO, which I see as the spiritual successor to Red Dragon. Each division in this game has its own unique identity. Before the artillery mechanics were changed, even divisions with terrible tank units were still fun and worth…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the most disappointing major update for me, and it has even made me very angry. This artillery mechanic overhaul is completely detached from the game's actual needs, recklessly and irrationally altering the core rules that govern fundamental combat interactions, ultimately ruining the gaming experience for the vast majority of players. It's hard to imagine whether such a drastic change was ever seriously thought through or tested—if you have nothing meaningful to do, don't just force…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's an updated version of Wargame. Both games are very similar. Listing few key updates: - Graphics got a major overhaul. The unit models became too small to my liking, but other than that everything looks great. - Recon mechanics completely overhauled. Recon units are now more meaningful than just giving increased sight. - Maps are thought through. The fighting is not necessarily centered around command points. There are logistical spots that give easy access to alternative roots to…
