The order of the attacks is very important, as it can't be undone, and it might cost your troops. Making good use of Jamming and Blocking maneuvers will also count a great deal, because having one troop near another allied force will give bonus to attacks. Killing troops will add one experience point and killing the whole squad will add two points. A full five star veteran will do more damage on the battlefield and will not go down easily.

Aside ground troops (light and heavy infantry), you can also make use of tanks, scout vehicles, AA Guns, Transport and Combat Helicopters, Battleships, Submarines and more. While you start with a number of troops (ground, air or sea) securing victories will earn you resources to build new units from your Headquarters. Here in the Headquarters you can also repair damaged units from the battlefield. In almost 100 missions, the AI will make intelligent moves to prevent you from achieving your goals. Each of the missions will have a primary objective and secondary objectives. If you manage to complete one or more of the secondary objectives like destroy the enemy heavy infantry before the end of cycle 3 or don't let more than once ship take damage, just to name a few, you will earn medals that will look good on your suit soldier.

The missions will start from a low difficulty and increase to become more challenging, your tactical skills being required for the sake of humanity. If these maps are not too challenging for you, or simply have a map in mind you would like to play, EndWar offers you that possibility. You now have at your disposal a Map Editor which allows you to create the maps you want and share it with your friends or foes.

Although the game is not as good looking as the big brother next-gen version of the game, it still looks pretty decent. The maps are nice with nice details here and there, but besides the in-game cinematics there isn't much to brag about. Maybe Ubisoft tried to keep it simple, making the player concentrate on the action. If that is the case, they certainly succeeded.
