I bought this game long ago when they first started, it does have great potential (for RTS style game it's great) BUT I've been deeply deceived to see that they went full EA bulls**t marketing strategy. They sell you a demo version and if you want to have access to the full game you need to buy all the others parts which are considered "dlc" there's also lootboxes system etc... it's more a casino than a game. I wanted a game not a casino spin wheel lootboxes buy camo bullsh*t thing. For this I don't recommend to buy this "game" on a more objective note it does have a good rts management style and good graphics. I've hoped for a command and conquer game or company of heroes but no. Don't waste your money on a greedy game like this.Show moreShow less

at about 55 hours thought drop my thoughts here , most of you should already know this is the more modern Assault squad game from years back . they improved a lot in the game also making it a dynamic style where you pre pick squads , have a research tree opening up items . I got a "free copy" but that gives you just a basic battle to see if you like I did and bought the main game . I am getting old at 61 I am getting little slower . so I do like that you can slow the game down a bit in certain areas of play. you do not get a bunch of units or nations for 15 bucks , so will want pick up the DLC stuff but wait for a sale and be about 5 bucks each I am also playing the WWII beta and that is incredible was main reason I got this version so can play the Eastern front Graphics streaming game play all great so pick it up and enjoy the game big improvement on play from the previous games Bob C aka CrazyBearUSAShow moreShow less

stay away. an AS2 reskin and you get lured with promises of "your opinion shapens the game" to buy your way into alpha and in fact...no one cares about your opinion. your feedback is welcomed as long as its a pat on the developers back,thats it. the first issue that did arise was about a feature that the vast majority..talks 90% +.. wants to keep and it was taken away. the thread in the forums about it at this point has almost 200 replies as im writing this, arguing mostly with the developer, namely Instinct, and he fails to come up with a valid why. "no compromise, no nothing..just no.because i say so" -attitude see here http://steamcommunity.com/app/302670/discussions/0/537405286642785934/ dont you dare say something he does not like, it will get you banned. as it did me and some others. for no reason and i can proof it. he just didnt like what i said. You have been banned from all Call to Arms discussions until 24 Aug @ 4:56pm. You were banned by a Call to Arms developer. Reason: "You are trolling and twisting words of developers. You cannot partake in discussions if you cannot accept the opinion of others to be as legitimate as yours." thats what i said : https://imgur.com/tfKk1A2 note the 180 i pointed out bottom right? check above mentioned thread,you will see its gone. and this got me banned : https://imgur.com/oRIiWHI ofc its gone too i dont see where i am trolling or twisting,im simply 'quoting'..which btw is the complete opposite...and told them what i think about it..and thats what it got me. honestly,stay away. its just a cash grab and no one cares what you think about the game. i should have known after DMS released the same game twice and then reskinned it for a third time before fixing issues in the prior ones..,just this time in a modern setting. did i mention you really should stay away and that i think this is fraudulent?Show moreShow less

Multiplayer with AI. Not having to pay for those AI. Set in the modern era. Yes, yes and yes. --Serious-- In its current state I would recommend this game. It has a well done AI for those who do not compete well in online matches like myself. The AI is actually a challenge on the higher levels and the game provide a small variety of maps. The small amount of time I have put into the game already feels well worth it. Sadly there is only two faction as of now and it does seem the team is interested in making an addition to the faction but nothing was set in stone. The game has a test feature which I find is always over looked, It often causes crashes due to a overload of units but it is fun to experiment with all the units. Most of the voice overs are ripped straight from the previous games much like a couple sounds but so far the new sounds are fantastic and show great promise. I have only seen infantry combat and I believe that is all that is in the game as of now but this was enough to justify my purchase. This game shows great potential, this phrase can often ward of suspicious purchasers but this is a well done Early Access game. Little to no bugs and a very good showcase of what's to come. The graphics are very well done, some people are concerned this is a reskin but it looks like custom models and meshes have been done and that those comments are more anger than truth. The game modes are pretty familiar but the game does feel different. The third person mode works like a charm, like in men of war you are able to seamlessly transition and use the mechanic as much as you need. The guns and weapons feel a lot stronger, people die quicker and the game feels a lot less forgiving. In men of war charging right into a bunker and clearing it was a possibility, not in Call to Arms however. The enemy will kill your entire squad if you are not positioned right. Sometimes this gets annoying but it is realistic and great for strategy. Long range engagements can last for a long time and I feel this really sets the games mood and gives you or the enemy the ability to use it as a distraction. The inventory system is a basic rip from the men of war system but there is no blame. It is a good system that works flawlessly, along with the highlighting bodies and weapons hot keys/mechanic. I am unsure if the price is justified in its current state for people who are no hardcore fans but I believe in my own bias way that in its current state I made a wise purchase even if the game wasn't finished. The implementation of Workshop already is fantastic and people haven't waited to start adding new thing to the game. The tools to adapt the game are superb and if you owned any previous games by the devs you know what to expect, a quality and proffesional map editor. I have made several videos of the game which you can find here if you are still undecided: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzExFRZtGr851dUhdp6NbRirfhqIOczRmShow moreShow less

This game has all the tools it needs to be great. They started out with a template that was very successful and have been tweaking it into a new game that offers different tactical options for the players to consider. The good: 1) When I first played I enjoyed it so very much. I could watch modern day soldiers fight and try to survive without me telling them to do simple things like "duck behind cover when 50 dudes are shooting at you!" The AI of each soldier knew to do that better than any previous incarnation of the MoW series. 2) All the old goodies from the MoW series were part of the game. Cooking grenades, stances for soldiers to stand, crouch or lay prone. Accuracy modifiers stances as well as using cover. The damage models of soldiers seem to be carried over as well. It's a good system and works great for this game. Love it. 3) Very stable game with a few eceptions. Many of the MoW games have been plagued with OOS and disconnection issues. Players dropping out of the game mid battle isn't something you have to worry about with this game. The Bad: 1) Units are locked by level. Nobody likes it. The developer has stated that they give players the tools they need to win with basic squads and only elite squads are locked. This is a half truth. The elite squads do have better stats but there are a few that are totally unique, such as the grenadier squad that has rifle grenades that can shoot soldiers who are behind cover. There is no basic unit that can do that. 2) Vehicles have wacked out damage models atm. I'm sure they'll be fixed but it's game breaking to see a 6P50 technical snipe a humvee with twice the armor halfway across the map when the humvee needs to be at least half that distance to even damage the pickup truck that has no visible armor whatsoever. When vehicles were introduced the game balance was thrown way off. 3) If you have no control points then your soldiers have no way to re-supply their ammo. None. To me this is giving the winning player even more advantage and seems a bit silly. Also Anti-Tank infantry cannot resupply at all. Once their rockets are used they are officially rifle soldiers and you have to BUY another Anti-Tank squad if you need more tank busting done. The ugly: All the players who loved MoW loved the Direct Control feature. It's what made the game unique and made the game amazing to play. It's a feature that no other RTS game has matched thus far. Unfortunately it's also a feature that's being chopped up and sold as a lame imitation of it's former self. When players who have supported the game cried out that they wanted back the feature that makes the game fun for them they are told that they are abusing god mode mechanics that give an unfair advantage. Nobody agrees with this. It does however take time to learn the Direct Control system and that is something that casual players do not like to do, invest time. It would seem that the developer is catering to the casual crowd that loves facebook games and hello kitty. They have told the old school hardcore player base who love the gritty gameplay that they're no longer important in the CtA universe. The playerbase that is important is the kind that blows huge chunks of cash on simplified games that have no depth whatsoever. This guy bought (A)? Ok buy (Anti-A). He bought (B)? Ok buy (Anti-B). No more using skill to beat the odds, it's just a point and click adventure where you sit back and watch the show while giving vague orders to soldiers who can only perform one duty. In it's current state I cannot recommend this game. It could be something amazing if the developer listened to the community about what they do and do not like. However they simply add features in and refuse admit when those features are bad for the game. This is a red flag for me. It is a red flag for many others as well. The player base went from 900+ online playing in multiplayer games to 180. Whatever their vision for the game may be the fact remains that nobody wants to play a game that has dead multiplayer. Nobody. Update: First Person Direct Control lags and you get destroyed by perfect aim AI soldiers who never miss. 99% of my review still stands, the issues havn't been fixed or changed.Show moreShow less

Please follow United Critics for quality reviews Call to Arms Review Overview Call to Arms is a modern military based, real time strategy game. This game is very similar to Command and Conquer as well as the Company of Heroes games, but is the only modern release in the genre. This game also includes a full campaign, co-op, multiplayer, and also a workshop mode for mods! Breakdown Choose the right strategy if you want to win This game is a bonafide RTS. It demands you to use the right strategy in the right circumstances if you want to have a chance at winning. A lot of RTS these days will let you wing it, but not this. If you are new to the RTS genre and want to try out a true RTS, then this Call to Arms is a good game to start with. This game has a modern military setting, which is something even most FPS games aren’t doing very well right now, so it is in a limited genre. You can choose from a different squads, comprised of a few soldiers, to add to your army with each having their own unique skillset and weapons. The game also has a very good camera angle during combat, so you can actually witness the combat up close rather than viewing from afar and just seeing a few numbers on your screen changing.. This game looks a bit...meh The one major gripe that I have with this game is that the soldier animations and graphics look very awkward and buggy at times. Sometimes, soldiers will be firing guns with no hands on the trigger and things like that. This can really break the immersion, but as long as you can look past it, you will have a great game on your hands. Another minor issue I have is that occasionally, it seems like the various squad names aren’t very descriptive of their purpose or weapons/skills. In spite of that, as you play the game, you will understand them and get past this issue quite easily. I love this game! Now, I love this game, but that is also because I am a huge RTS fan. I can safely say that if you enjoy RTS games, you will enjoy this one too. If you have never played an RTS, but have played strategy games, then I think you will get into this game quite easily. There is a campaign that will ease you into the game, and I see this game bringing a lot more fans to the RTS genre through it’s military setting and excellent gameplay. Should you get it? I can easily recommend this game. If you are on the fence, this game has a free demo; something that, unfortunately, is lacking in most games these days. You can check it out to help you make your mind before getting the game. Even if you do decide to directly go and get the game, you will not be disappointed. Whether you are an RTS veteran or a newcomer to this genre, you will certainly find something for you in this game. Rating: 8/10Show moreShow less

For those curious: This game released in 2015 for the price of 30 bucks. The developers made a lot of the content gated behind insanely dumb progression (meaning you couldn't use all of the units in the base game until you played online) and instead of fixing it for those that purchased it, they went F2P and are trying to bilk more players out of money for the season pass. I've already submitted a refund request because I refuse to support a developer that would do this. UPDATE 4/10/17 The developer responded to me saying the game was not free, to which I respectfully disagreed. Let me break down why, free or not, you should avoid Call to Arms: 1. The actual extended content offered isn't that great. Differing factions don't offer really any unique properties beyond skins. 2. The content available after all unlocks are made is seriously not reflective of what the original videos, images, and descriptions show. It plays a lot like MoW, with little to no content that a typical RTS would have. 3. Bad AI - even on highest difficulty, the typical AI tactic is to spam light infantry and hold easily defended positions, removing a layer of offline play and co-op play online because the AI is so bad. 4. Developer involvement and response - most complaints are overlooked, and some are outright criticized. 5. Poorly implemented progression - Unlock other RTS games that will allow you to use all units and forces in offline sandbox play, Call to Arms gates your unit access behind XP that can only be gained by playing online.Show moreShow less

Game might be good but the Devs are no good, first they make me pay for the game at full price, then they basically stop support for it. A half year or so later resume support but make the game free to play without reimbursing me, then they double back on themselves and put the game back to normal but strip me of content that I already had (ability to play as Russians and other factions besides GRM and US I believe) and put it behind a 35 $ pay wall. The devs engage in appalling anti-consumer practices, wouldn't recommend.Show moreShow less
