1941 Frozen Front – Review
I can hear you all in the distance, “Not another bloody WWII game!” But at least this one is offering something slightly different. 1941 Frozen Front is a turn-based strategy game that puts you against either the germans or the russians.
The required tutorial missions are very tedious, and slow. Though once you get through them, the game does get a bit of rhythm and becomes a good game to play. The gameplay itself is very simple to pick up, each “piece” gets a certain number of moves. You can then move those pieces to strategic points on the map and blow up the bad guys. As with all turn based games, you always have to give your enemies a chance to get back at you. You then go back and forth until one of you comes out as the victor. Some have special abilities that can be deployed as well. You need to plan ahead to position your forces smartly if you’re going to win.
The top down view keeps the feel of a turn based board game and adds to the overall gameplay. Its not a very graphics heavy game, but does look very good, especially when playing on a big screen like the Nexus 7 or the One. As you can see nothing says “World War II” like a massive ad for Free Games! This seems to ruin the overall feel of the game. You can get rid of the ads by downloading the free games they advertise, its a pretty clever idea.
This game has it pluses, but overall the gameplay felt slow and not really my kind of game. I prefer games with big bright characters and wacky noises.
