How it feels

A tense and fast-paced real-time strategy game where you constantly scan a 2D battlefield, scrambling to adapt your tactics against a relentless enemy.

What players say

Players overwhelmingly report that Shadows of War is broken: units fail to move or shoot normally, the game crashes often, multiplayer never worked, and the campaign can award achievements incorrectly. A few note it feels like an unpolished Flash game from a decade ago, still sold at a high price.
