Order of Battle: Pacific Reviews
Order of Battle: Pacific is the best strategy title of the year so far, offering a new take on a period that many gamers believe is no longer interesting from a video game point of view.
Order of Battle: Pacific is that dramatic, and the scenarios can be that finely-balanced. Once I start a scenario, I find it almost impossible to quit until I've seen it through to the end. Fast, approachable, and challenging, it is everything I want in a wargame.
Order of Battle: Pacific doesn't exactly shake up the strategy genre, but its focus on the Pacific theatre is a welcome one and I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it. A few neat features and the accessible nature of the game mean it's open for newcomers to the genre but also challenging enough for veterans.
Put aside any doubts you might have about hex-based wargames, Order of Battle: Pacific's combined arms operations are an approachable, and rewarding, strategic challenge.
Takes a timeless, successful formula and adds a couple of fresh new features.
