Face of War

Face of War is a real-time strategy game developed by 1C Company and released for PC in 2005. Set during World War II, the game focuses on tactical combat across various historical European battlefields, allowing players to command both Allied and Axis forces. Unlike traditional RTS games, Face of War offers a more immersive, action-oriented experience with a mix of strategic planning and real-time combat. Players control squads of soldiers, tanks, and other military units, managing resources, positioning, and tactics in order to accomplish mission objectives. The game features a unique dynamic where units can be directly controlled by players, adding a layer of intensity to battles. Although praised for its realistic environments, detailed units, and engaging combat mechanics, Face of War received mixed reviews due to its steep learning curve, occasionally clunky controls, and limited multiplayer features. Despite these criticisms, it remains a notable entry for fans of WWII RTS games, offering a more hands-on approach to battlefield strategy.
