" Massive action-adventure battle simulator with epic scale and mods but feels unpolished and buggy "

Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator 2 Review

Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator 2 (UEBS 2) offers a unique and entertaining experience focused on large-scale battle simulations with a wide variety of units and scenarios. Players appreciate the game's ability to handle massive battles with impressive physics and animations, making it visually captivating and fun to experiment with different matchups. The inclusion of Steam Workshop support adds diversity and replayability through mods.

However, many players feel the game remains unpolished, with a "beta" or early access vibe due to limited UI options, lack of features like time speed control, and some gameplay quirks such as units climbing walls unexpectedly. The campaign mode and AI behavior also face criticism for bugs and limited depth. While performance is generally good, the game can lag with very large battles and demands a powerful PC for the best experience. Overall, UEBS 2 is recommended mainly for fans of battle sims or on sale, with hopes for future improvements.

Highlights

Players praise the game's ability to simulate epic battles involving thousands to millions of units, creating a spectacular visual experience. The physics engine and new animations are noted as significant improvements over the first game. The game's optimization allows smoother gameplay even on less powerful PCs compared to its predecessor.

Additionally, the Steam Workshop integration is highly valued, providing a wealth of mods that enhance variety and fun. The core gameplay mechanics are considered enjoyable and addicting, especially for those who like to experiment with different unit combinations and scenarios.

Criticisms

Common criticisms include the game's unfinished feel, with many describing it as "beta-like" or lacking polish. The UI is considered clunky and in need of overhaul. Players want more features such as time speed controls and expanded settings.

The campaign mode is often labeled as unplayable due to buggy AI and troop pathfinding issues. Some units behave oddly, like climbing walls during siege battles, which frustrates players. The limited number of units compared to the first game and slow progress on updates also disappoint many users.
