Theatre of War 3: Korea

The sequel to Theatre of War 2 takes you to the battlefields of Korea. This is definitely one for veterans of the series and seasoned strategy gamers looking to wage war on battlefields beyond World War II. We liked how you can switch into NATO view for a quick overview of a situation that might look messy in 3D.

The Second World War is over, but the Cold War has settled in!
Rather than a game in its own right, Theatre of War 3: Korea is best described as a very generous expansion to Theatre of War 2. It will enable you to experience a little-known side of the Cold War with two campaigns set in Korea in 1950, with a special focus on realism and strategy.

The aggressive enemy AI helps create a real battlefield atmosphere. It doesn't cower away in bunkers, trenches, or behind cover in order to survive as long as possible; it brings the fight to you and shows some real ingenuity.

We liked the NATO view. This is a feature that gives players a strategic overview of the battlefield. In other words, it's an aerial view or tactical map that shows you the entire battlefield situation.

In the game, the NATO view can provide vital intel about the position of troops, reserves, strategic points, and other key info.

It lets you plan your movements, make informed strategic decisions, and adapt your strategy to developments on the field of battle. It's a valuable tool for managing your military operations in the game and adds a strategic aspect to the gameplay.

Our advice to help you on your way? You'll need to take out anti-tank defences before advancing your own armour. It's essential. The North Korean T-34/85s are fearsome but not invincible to a well-planned strategy, and the American army has light helicopters that can drop troops anywhere. Got it?

Our favourite part? The way you can pause the battle at any time to consider your plans. This means that you can formulate precision strategies and mount effective responses to tactical changes.

If you're looking for a realistic strategy game and you're ready for a demanding challenge, this is the game for you. You're not here to have fun!
