Mechanics

Armored Brigade II plays similarly to the first game. The gameplay is set in many vast locations, designed based on actual military maps. The key machanic is combat, during which we can command infantry, armored troops and aircraft. To succeed, we must adjust our strategy to the terrain, our surroundings and nearby structures (both natural, like forests, and artificial, like buildings and fortifications), the time of day, weather, unit stats, skill and fatigue. One of the game's strongest points is its advanced AI, capable of rational thinking.

The game's systems, such as navigation points and recon, are all very in-depth. Infantry mechanics have been improved, and the sequel introduces new air support and artillery support options.

Technical aspects

The most noticeable new feature introduced in Armored Brigade II are 3D visuals. Though the graphics are still relatively simple, 3D environments portray the locations better and let us get a closer look at our units in-game.
