About The Game
Easy Red 2 is the game for those who know just what they want from a World War 2 shooter: simulation in weapons and mechanics, historical accuracy in battles, and expansive maps leaving room for large-scale infantry and vehicle combat alike.
Fronts of War:
In Easy Red 2, you will be taken to both the European and Pacific fronts of the war. On the European front, you will be taken to the shores of Anzio, Italy- working your way towards the bombed peaks of Monte Cassino. You will also be taken to Kos- the Greek island invaded by the Germans in 1943. In the Pacific, you will go to Kwajalein- the Japanese-occupied island invaded by the United States Marine Corps in 1944.
Simulation and Immersivity:
That’s what we want for Easy Red 2. We want the player to feel a hint of the real emotions, thoughts, and sense of adrenaline rush of the battlefield. Around the player will be a fury of explosions, gunfire, devastation, orders, and yells from those around them. The player will be rewarded not for his kills obtained, but for his strategic prowess and survival skills on the field.
Large battles and historical locations:
All campaigns take place in large open-world maps that are reproductions of the real locations of historical battles, with the plans and layout of the battles faithful to events that have historically occurred.
Squad-based Gameplay:
No one fights alone. A good, hard-earned victory requires a good hardened team- so jump in as the squad leader, the medic, or maybe the radioman. You’ll always have a job to do within your squad.
•In our levels, we particularly focused on creating dynamically occurring sub-objectives that differ from the main mission objectives. For example, while the main objective of the greater team may be to conquer a specific area, a sub-objective could be requesting a tank to clear its way from an anti-tank gun that has been sighted, or getting your squad to take out that anti-tank gun yourself. This allows the gameplay to play out slightly differently each time depending on how everything plays out.
Vehicles:
•War machines changed warfare forever, and the second world war proved that unequivocally. Prepare to jump into a Panzer 4, M4 Sherman, M3 Lee, or any other tank that dominated the real battles fought in the game.
•We decided to let the player have full control of the crew within their vehicles; they will be able to drive and shoot tanks, as long as there are crewmen to operate each armament. Also, battles don’t stop when a tank is disabled- lots of tank crews in World War 2 had time to escape from the scuttled tanks and survive the battles, and so do they in Easy Red 2. If you lose your tank in a fight, you’ll need to bring your crew (or what’s left of your crew) back to your lines safely on foot.
Multiplayer:
•Play online in both PvP and PvE.
•Create a match whenever you want and on any map you want!
Devastation of war:
•Explosions will destroy sandbags, walls, fences, vehicles, defenses, and entire buildings throughout the battlefield. This can radically change the power positions and tides during a fight.
•Enemy fire suppresses you and your squad, lowering your accuracy and decreasing your overall peripheral vision. You will have to learn how to move safely within a combat scenario and keep your helmet on your head without it getting shot or blown off.

(as its current state of 28/02/23)
This is my review of this game I will be rating it based on gameplay performance, visuals and price. (there is no story) so I will add a bonus one audio
The game is centered on 3 main campaigns (1 extra dlc)
you basically fight the enemy AI in plenty ww2 scenarios and its really fun and the game has a lot of love put in with outfits vehicles things historians are interested you get to ride every vehicle in the game fly on planes use artillery command squads not to mention the weapons are realistic they put a lot of work into it overall Gameplay its a solid 10 there is some replayability if you want to get this special dogtags so there is that, having the dlc won't really change gameplay its just an extra nation with more weapons and vehicles. On the other hand the AI is silly at times reminding me of half-life ai but when the AI does work well and doesn't run into an mg emplacement then yeah it feels rewarding.
You can play with AI and Online you choose whatever the map gives you either Germany or US (there is more) and you fight them basically hordes of AI against you you can play as the defender team or the attacker one however you can choose to play however you like. AI will play differently tho.
On the online its also pretty fun Usually lobbies as of now have 4 to 3 people out of 20 but its the same game so you fight the AI or Defend playing with players makes the game harder in the way of how they play because they use different tactics so get a friend to play this with (just don't commit warcrimes lol)
*
Performance is a mixed I know the devs are fixing this here and there but as of now its decent if you play with no AI you can a 45-60 fps ratio if you start fighting AI or have intense combat the frames will be around 15-30 fps they dip and the increase depending on the action which is ok but not great since it can be annoying specially during the late game or intense combat where you need those extra fps to aim and move quicker. 6/10 playable but not what you need on an fps.
Quality is good for the switch the game looks good on handheld and ok on tv (monitor) Switch games can look impressive or can run amazing this one is not one of those it looks good but not anything special (it was made by one developer so its not an AAA title) there is low poly models when you aim on the sights of the tanks or marksman and they look kinda silly, draw far distance is ok you will see pop ins of houses bushes stuff like that which is ok but not great over all 7/10 for Visuals.
Bonus is Audio its not a deal breaker or anything but it does have a really nice mix of audio specially on headphones stuff like shells passing next to you or crispy gun sounds all in here there is one annoying thing is that explosions are either to loud or to weak things like the plane chasing sounds to loud meanwhile at gun next to you its very weak so 9/10
Price is great you are getting lots of content multiplayer there is lots of details to gameplay all for a bargain price of 8 bucks (without dlc) excellent price for the switch despite its decent Performance and quality you do get to play the most realistic WW2 game on the switch so I think that makes it stand out 10/10
over all 4.2 stars my rating over here I'll give it a 7-8
