Battlefield Commander WWII

Not a good game. Maybe someday but not now. no ability to increase pan speed that I could find. German tanks die all the time. Your tanks , vehicles and men are all ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ who won't shoot on their own. Very micromanager-y. I refunded it

Dommage que le jeu ne soit pas en Français voilà

This game is pretty clunky. The campaign mechanics are really confusing at first. There is no mouse over info on units, map locations, etc. Some of the flags are really far from the starting locations and while your troops are in transit to the flag get blown up and almost entirely annihilated. Aside from the confusion of what troops are best to send into the field and having no idea how to manage battlefield tactics at the beginning, this game is even fun while you're losing. Ground Troops: It would be nice if there was something added telling you which troops are best to stack against certain specs. I had a single scout kill off multiple enemies while having SS Heavy Inf get slaughtered by a sniper close range... Tanks: All the tank/tactical vehicles descriptions really suck to let you know how it actually preforms. Can this thing take a hit? Is it a paper tiger? I guess when in doubt just keep spamming something at the bases...

Battlefield Commander: World War II has a surprisingly strong foundation, blending elements reminiscent of Hearts of Iron IV and more casual mobile WWII strategy titles, but with a real-time tactics layer that gives it real potential. At its core, the game feels like it could evolve into something genuinely compelling—but right now, it’s held back by several major gameplay issues. The biggest problem lies in the combat system. Unit interactions often feel unbalanced or unfinished. Tanks, for example, struggle to effectively deal with infantry—even when those infantry are caught in the open—largely due to underwhelming machine gun performance. On the flip side, mortars are extremely powerful to the point of dominating matches. Because of the shared spotting system, a single recon unit can expose enemies, allowing backline mortars to completely wipe them out with little counterplay. This creates a meta where players can exploit spotting mechanics and rely heavily on indirect fire, which feels unfair and reduces tactical variety. Spotting itself is another major issue. Enemy detection mechanics make offensive play frustrating, often forcing players into a defensive posture even when they initiate attacks. Instead of encouraging maneuver and strategy, the game punishes aggression and rewards static playstyles. The campaign doesn’t do much to help. It feels shallow and lacks challenge, with progression often boiling down to simply rushing enemy capitals without meaningful resistance. Strategic depth is further undermined by poor unit grouping mechanics on the campaign map. For example, you might have multiple armored units available, but when a battle begins, only one is deployed instead of reinforcing dynamically—something that games like Total War handle far better. Infantry gameplay also needs serious attention. Units lack survivability, and there’s no way to create or utilize meaningful cover, which makes them feel weak and expendable. This ties into a broader issue with the AI, which lacks tactical awareness. Instead of coordinating attacks or using combined arms effectively, the AI simply sends waves of units with no cohesion, making encounters feel repetitive and unchallenging. That said, the game shows real promise. With improvements to combat balance, smarter AI, and deeper mechanics, it could become a standout in its niche. Features like off-map support—such as heavy artillery or airstrikes as well as smoke—and the ability to create defensive positions would add much-needed depth and player agency. Final Thoughts: Battlefield Commander: World War II is a game with great ideas and a solid base, but it clearly needs more development time. If the developers can address its combat flaws and expand its tactical systems, it has the potential to become a genuinely great WWII strategy experience. For now I rate it as a buy on sale for now

110% recommend for you war gamers out there. love the gameplay. slow but it gets your mind thinking. i would love to have more factions to play as though, like america or UK

Lots of fun for a low price. There is still a way's to go and you can see much will be added (no anti tank guns for now, by example) but the gameplay is really fun. I pulled an all nighter finishing a campaign, which I never do unless I'm pretty hooked.

terrible... what is this??

Months away from a playable game. Beta - this is not even that yet. It will be interesting to see how this develops but at the moment its really, really bad.

Very well made. Combat takes a few tries to understand but that comes with a different game. I'd be interested in other factions and maps, but there is plenty of variety to explore atm. Only recommendation is making wiped out units more distinct

I enjoyed it! For me it was stable and I had no issues playing thru two campaigns. I understand that there is a lack of content and not really sure if it is worth the price point but hopeful we will see some new content soon.
