Theatre of War 3: Korea Gameplay

http://dateyourgame.com

Theatre of War 3: Korea is an rts that is realistic and where the way you plan your attack matter a lot. This is mostly due to the fact that you can't shoot on stuff you don't see and at the same time support weapon that are outside the map may be called by the enemies to totally exterminate your army. Now these constraint force you to have to evaluate the amount of troops to commit at the right moment in the battle. If you commit too many you may find yourself in an ambush and loose them all, if you commit too few you may lose them one by one without any gain. This lead the game to be a fairly slow paced kind of game that require some patience but that become rewarding once you understand the principle and the way it should be played. Also as the campaign progress the mission get harder and the terrain is fairly random, so you never really know what you are in for.

In this video I'm playing the North Korean, you can also play Soviet army and American army and move your division in a turn by turn 2D campaign map. You can generate your own contextual campaign if you want.

i tried this game out and i had trouble comanding my guys becouse they just went off to do a bunch of crazy shit without me telling them to... why's that?

[Attila16]

@pyhapieru hmm, not sure.

[newcastlefan1994]

is this like men of war

[Attila16]

@newcastlefan1994 it's more grand scare as oppose to the men of war micromanagement.

[emillebest]

is this some kind of World War: Total war ? :P

[Attila16]

@emillebest more like Korea total war.

[MrNicePlayer]

we need you to comment it's way too boring this way....

[WorldChampInfinity]

Not as good as with commentary. Doesn't look as good as Men of War.

[SMGJohn]

At beginning it looks like Total War Korea

@MichaelWithstand Thats enough said though, thanks for taking the time. I'll try out the game for sure. I do want to suggest that you give MoW a try though, I actually have every single game in the series and will tell you that none of them disappoint (at least in my opinion). While it may take some time to get used to, as ToW will for me, I think if it turns out to be a good game that wont matter too much. Once again, thanks for taking the time to explain. :)

[Kin6X]

@MichaelWithstand One thing I will admit about MoW is that the AI is pretty damn stupid lol. But I guess its that hand holding iv become accustomed to, since as I said the micromanaging is so intense that if you forget to tell your boys to grab extra ammo they'll begin just throwing grenades at all targets lol. I'll give this game another chance though I guess, I made the transition from Starcraft > CoH > MoW > Em4 so I guess one more jump wont kill me lol

[Kin6X]

@MichaelWithstand I actually havent played Heroes. I have however played Fortunes of War which was supposed to be released before the first MoW if i believe, the game is alot different, to the point where I didnt even enjoy it. That doesnt sound too bad though, just alot less responsibility kind of like Company of Heroes, which was good. Thanks for the tip of Heroes though, ill probably be checking it out now lol

[MichaelWithstand]

@Kin6X Damn youtube won't allow me to type longer xD. But if you want to know the feel then I suggest you try to play a demo for Theatre of War.

I'm sure Men of War is a very good game but I'm not sure the feels of Theatre of War would appeal to everyone as easily as Men of War. The game requires patience and passion somewhat. It is definitely not a game like Starcraft :)

Maybe I'll buy Men of War one of these days. The price for the full collection is....daunting xD

[MichaelWithstand]

@Kin6X The difference between Theatre of War and Men Of War though besides the engagement range is the micromanaging level. Although it is said that you need to select individual equipped solider to give specific special equipment task, in battle most of the time you feel like a battlefield commander since the AI is actually pretty good at interpreting your command(they seek cover and fight pretty well).

I just bought Theatre of War 3 Korea along with Black Shark Ka-50 study sim from steam :)

[MichaelWithstand]

@Kin6X Hmm this one is similiar to men of War too in that respect that you need to control individual soldier to plant mine for example by selecting the squad and then until you got the soldiuer with the mine and order him to plant them.

I haven't played Men Of War but I'm sure it's a great game though. Men of War is a descendant of Heroes: Soldiers of World War 2. They changed the name series but essentialy the same game design from the same developer.

[Kin6X]

@MichaelWithstand While it looks like the engagement range is pretty realistic on here ill admit. I must ask if youve ever played MoW thoroughly? On there you have to micro manage each individual soldier which includes picking up ammo, grenades, health, gas for vehicles, ect...Honestly when I saw this video it looked more like Starcraft in all honesty. Just give MoW a chance is all im saying, but if theres something im missing here id be happy to hear what you have to say.

[MichaelWithstand]

@Kin6X unlike Men of War this game features realistic engagement range.

Theatre of War is thus a more realistic series than Men of War though it doesn't mean Men of War is a worse game as to each his own.

@pyhapieru You were probably clicking all over the place and lagging at the same time lol.
