"No matter: I spend the next gleeful minute headshotting advancing Japanese soldiers in this surprise third-person shooter mini-game. Later, I learn that this mode is called "Direct Control," and I can trigger it with any unit at any time. "Accidentally discovering something awesome" will soon become a four-word summary of my time with Assault Squad 2. It’s a deep, complex real-time strategy game set in various theaters of World War 2, with five distinct armies with their own multistage campaigns, hundreds of unique vehicles, dozens of personal weapons, melee combat, seasonal camouflage, fully destructible environments, and realistically modeled armor penetration" - PCGamer
From Strategy Informer: "At some point, Albert Einstein allegedly said that, while he didn’t know what kind of weapons would be used in World War III, World War IV would likely be fought with sticks and stones. Miraculously, it seems that our species actually listened to this ominous message, and since the development of nuclear warfare, we’ve yet to see large-scale conflict like that of the early 20th century. However, after the Cold War resulted in tragic proxy battles and nuclear paranoia, there were many who began to fantasize about a return to direct conflict, and these sentiments quickly made their way over to fiction through movies and games like Red Dawn and Raid Over Moscow."
