So, without further ado, here’s our guide to the best World War 2 games. With so many takes on this globe-spanning conflict, however, it can be difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff.Įnter Wargamer: in this guide we’ve tried to include a range of different types of WW2 PC games, from close-up tactical experiences to sweeping strategic overviews from popcorn, arcade-like free-to-play romps, through to old-school computer wargames with manuals so thick you could use them to hammer nails into wood. In the gaming world – as in almost every cultural medium – WW2 games have effectively become a whole genre of their own, with the war’s many different international conflicts and battles forming the backdrop for thousands of classic computer games over the years.įor us wargamers, of course, the second war is particularly familiar territory: aside from perhaps the ancient world, it is the single most fertile ground for strategy and war games and has spawned some of the hobby’s finest digital titles. I have heard that the computer opponents' AI is tuned a bit better than Scorched Earth, so if you're looking to play against your PC (up to 10 simultaneously) this may be your best choice.True to form, being as it is the war of the ‘greatest generation’, the allure and appeal of World War Two have been hyped beyond all reason. There are also different weapons that you can purchase between rounds. The game generates terrain of different formations for each level and includes wind as well (both typical of games in this genre, even the famous QBasic Gorillas game) as well as a ton of different configurable options. The goal of the game is to destroy the other tank(s) controlled by human players or computer opponents (of varying intelligence levels) by selecting the angle and velocity of your shots. It is quite similar to the better-known game Scorched Earth which was released around the same time in the early 90's.

Tank Wars (also known as BOMB due to the name of the zip file and it's executable file) is, as you might expect, a tank battle game. Tank Wars gameplay screenshot Review: Rating: 4.5
