So “tank rushing” is a bit more difficult here than in other real-time games. Each scenario also puts a cap on how many units of a certain type you may recruit. The game plays like any other real-time game in that every unit is countered by another unit, and there are only a few in the game that are ultra powerful. There are many units in the game, each filling a specific role. Some of the scenarios are entertaining, but it’s highly annoying to have to scour an entire map to find the last enemy unit. Thankfully, you can save mid-mission if you need to take a break. Some missions may take you a few minutes to complete while others can take a couple of hours. These terrorists have an army just as powerful as the USA. Using these advanced attack commands well is key to succeeding in the tougher campaign missions.Įach of the two campaigns contains 12 missions—one for the United States and one for the generic terrorist organization known as the ILA (Independent Liberation Army). Finally, queued attack commands allow you to attack units in a particular order—for example, you can issue a command to knock out an artillery unit and then begin work on the infantry. Concentrated attack commands tell your units to concentrate all fire on one unit at a time. You can issue simultaneous attacks, a feature that allows you to order your units to wait until all of them are in position before firing. The most innovative aspect is the ability to coordinate your attacks via simple hotkey commands. The game stacks up a bit better as a standard real-time strategy game that happens to use modern day units. So it isn’t a war game, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Tank shells travel at such slow speeds that it’s possible to dodge them while in mid air. We’re talking about silly stuff like armor being obstructed by little white fences, infantry not being able to enter loose formations of trees, and supply trucks taking three hits from a tank before exploding. Real War’s lack of realism doesn’t just come in the form of smallish details that only grognard wargamers would notice. Instead, it’s another run of the mill strategy game trying to squeeze into the most saturated market in the industry. Real War, despite its name, is not an accurate war game.
