Default Armoured Brigade 2

Novembre sees not just the release of the anticipated Sea Power, but also of Armoured Brigade 2. Both games look extremely promising to me.



AB2 will be sold by Matrix exclusively in the beginning, but by that you also buy a Steam key, and can later add it to the Steam library once the Steam release has been done. I can understand that such a small studio wants to harvest the lion'S share of the income alone without sharing it with Steam. But there is already a Steam page for AB2. Just know that initially you will need to buy it via Matrix. Release date is I think Novembre 15th.



AB2 is AB1, with a full 3D interface this time, and overworked game mechanics. It looks good for what it does, imho, maybe not as good as the Combat Mission titles, but then Combat Mission often runs like a pregnant cow. In all videos I saw, AB2 runs smooth.



I liked AB1, but was not convinced by the interface and the way infantry fought, the AI also was too limited, imo. I am eager to find out how the new game will do in these regards. I will buy it for sure. There is a longer dev stream, thatb idnicates that infantry has become very relevant in the new game. In AB1, it was just cannon fodder.



I also await an Alien Vr game in later Decembre, so with AB2, Alien VR and Sea Power this really promises to becone a real cozy gaming winter.
