Key Features
- Dynamic Campaign — Rewrite the history of the Second World War with a branching campaign where no two playthroughs are alike.
- Headquarters — This new feature places army headquarters on the map, from which you will direct unit reorganization, bridging and resupply. Headquarters are not only essential to reinforcing and recovering lost unit strength, but are also able to deploy special abilities such as Emergency Supply, Motorizing units using HQ trucks, and many more.
- Theater Assets — This feature from the original game is greatly expanded in Unity of Command II. Wreak havoc behind enemy lines by sabotaging infrastructure. Order your aircraft to provide aerial recon, deliver devastating bombing runs, or sustain units behind enemy lines using air supply assets.
- Bonus Objectives — Participate in optional history-altering “what-if” objectives — earn the opportunity to Rush for the Apennines and smash through German defenses before they dig in.
- Fog of War — Deal with your enemies — but you’ll have to find them first. Reveal enemy positions by capturing stragglers, upgrading the HQ and using its special abilities to uncover enemy special defense markers.
- Deep Operations — Unity of Command changed the world of turn-based strategy games forever by introducing its signature feature, supply lines. Keep a watchful eye on your logistics while planning to strike deep beyond enemy lines, sever supply lines and encircle enemy units.
- Accessible Scenario Editor — Unity of Command II features a full-fledged Allied campaign, with the addition of several defining battles of WWII that can be experienced from the Axis side. The game comes with a built-in scenario editor, allowing players to create and share new battlefields using the integrated Steam Workshop support.
Development:
The game was in development since late 2014, but was formally
announced in 2019. The most visible change to the game is the transition from
2D to 3D graphics, using a proprietary engine developed specifically for this
game. Another requirement would be a 64-bit operating system. Notable gameplay
mechanics that were added include fog of war, unit headquarters, supply hubs,
airborne ops or the ability to go beyond enemy lines and sabotage their
infrastructure
Reception:
Rob Zacny, in a review on Vice, noted how the game departed
in so many ways from the original, but remained a "simple joy to
play", calling it a "wargame that invites a lot of delightful
perfectionist revisiting for a long time to come". Wargamer praised its
visuals, maintaining they are "some of the best eye candy to come out of a
wargaming company this year" and stating that each mission feels satifactory
due to its intimidating design, ultimately calling it a marked improvement over
the original Unity of Command. Luke Plunkett of Kotaku called it the best
wargame he played in years, but stated his disappointment in turn limiters, and
limited control of some units. Rock, Paper, Shotgun was similarily delighted by
the game and its novelties, concluding that "Wargames this canny,
attractive, friendly and historically literate come along extremely
rarely". PC Gamer noted in its review that new additions such as
specialists and HQ upgrades contribute considerably to the campaign's
flexibility, stating that there are also moments of historical divergence in
the game.
