Army Men II

There’s something weirdly charming about a game where your biggest threat isn’t just enemy soldiers it’s the environment itself. Army Men II leans hard into that idea, and while it shows its age, it still manages to be a memorable little time capsule. You play as Sarge again, dropped into a backyard warzone where everything is oversized and hostile. Hoses become deadly hazards, kitchen appliances feel like industrial machines, and a simple patch of grass turns into a tactical nightmare. That sense of scale is easily the game’s biggest strength it gives the battles a unique identity that still stands out. Gameplay is straightforward top down shooting, and it’s… rough around the edges. Movement can feel stiff, aiming isn’t always precise, and the difficulty spikes can be brutal in ways that don’t always feel fair. You’ll die a lot sometimes because of your mistakes, and sometimes because the game just decides you should. That said, there’s a certain old school satisfaction in pushing through it, even if it feels extremely unfair at times which a game should never do. One thing that does hold up well is the atmosphere. The sound design, cheesy voice lines, and that low budget military vibe all come together in a way that’s oddly immersive. It doesn’t try to be realistic it knows exactly what it is, and that works in its favor. Where it struggles most is repetition. Missions can start to blend together, and the objectives don’t evolve much as you go. Combined with the clunky controls, it can wear on you if you’re not already on board with what the game is offering. Still, there’s a nostalgic appeal here that’s hard to ignore. It’s janky, sometimes frustrating, and definitely dated but it’s also unique, and that counts for a lot.

Honestly a great game but sadly this version has a bunch of cut content. Probably better to emulate it or see if there's a GOG version that is superior.

One of my favorite games. EVER. But it NEEDS to be fixed! As a 90s kid, Army Men series were one of the greatests game franchises, And this was the coolest one of the series. BUT THEY REMOVED THE BEST PART OF IT! Army Men RTS had originally 3 game modes: Bootcamp - which is the tutorial. It's ok. But I will never ever play it again.. Single Player - which is the campain mode. It's super fun and I just played a couple missions. I don't remember how many missions the game has. Maybe 20? They are cool, you can have a really good time with them. Multiplayer - which is where the game shines the most, and which is the game mode they REMOVED!!! I can't believe they did that! Look, I don't ever expect any room to fill. But I loved to play this game vs the computer. The multiplayer was a RTS mode. Green, Blue, Tan and Grey. Many maps and game modes... THIS is were the gold is. I bought this game expecting to play this last game mode... I completed the mission mode too many times when I was a kid, I just want some casual matches now... IF THEY EVER give this game the multiplayer mode back, then I will reccommend this game. But, as it is now, I cannot. Also, it would be very nice if they upload Army Men 3D into Steam. It had the coolest story mode ever. This franchise have great potential. But I doubt it will ever be back. Remember developers: 90s Kids sometimes just want their old games back, and they will pay for it. Just look at what Age of Empires and Starcraft franchises are doing... I play them both.

This game doesn't even have the multiplayer aspect which also includes the PVE skirmish against AI even in singleplayer. There's no point in buying this game just for the campaign. Go to the Internet Archive and download Army Men 1 and 2 for free, and you can play with the skirmish aspect that's been gutted from this version.

It runs fine, exactly the same as it did back in the day. However, it is missing what I would argue as half of the game by not including multiplayer; which was essentially a sandbox-like mode that, as a child, gave me way more fun than the singleplayer ever did (the 'You Lose' screens from the campaign gave me actual nightmares as a kid haha). This version is not a dealbreaker, but buyer beware, you're not getting the whole game.

I had this game as a kid and really wanted to play it again. This is, this is barely playable. my mouse keep getting out of range screwing up the game and moving my camera away. This is an horrible, botched port.

I played this game a long long time ago when first released, even having my dad join in for the multiplayer battles sometimes. I bought it on Steam for nostalgia. I love how the game's soundtrack is just comprised of classical music, like Richard Wagner, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Edvard Grieg, Gioachino Rossini, J. Straus II (heard in the Steam trailer), etc

Продолжение и развитие лучших идей. Все супер, но фанаты негодуют по поводу вырезанного мультиплеера

This was my very first Pc game that I ever played. I remember my Father and I playing it together. Game plays like dogsh*it and the controls are horrible and you can't customize the key commands. Game will always hold a special place in my heart
