About
AI War II is a grand strategy/RTS hybrid against an overwhelming, inhuman enemy who has conquered the galaxy. The enemy has made only a single error: underestimating you. You must steal as much technology as you can, and take enough territory to fortify your bases and launch your attacks.

Critic reviews
- The game remains a very niche product. Even with the improved graphics and interface, it's not going to appeal to an audience looking for the new shiny. It remains a game largely played zoomed out far enough out that the units are represented by icons, with a lot of staring at complicated galactic maps. However, it provides an experience that no one else gets near. When you succeed, you feel like you did so despite the best efforts of an implacable enemy.
- 5.0AI WAR 2 is the type of game that would normally be very good. The concept and guerrilla warfare are both interesting ideas. However, this just doesn't really click or feel that interesting. Given players have access to so much stuff from the beginning, there is no sense of progression which might be the largest killer, if not the steep learning curve. Some might really enjoy it, but general strategy players won't want to hop through all the hoops.
- 8.5A unique and interesting take on the RTS, adding a grand scale feel to proceedings whilst managing to not feel overwhelming. Seeing hundreds of units scurrying around never gets old. Heartily recommend to strategy fans.
- Arcen ha creato una versione aggiornata e ottimizzata della loro precedente opera, mantenendo inalterati i principi base che, oggi come ieri, riescono a sovvertire l’ordine naturale delle cose nel genere 4X. Dal sistema di raccolta risorse alla strategicità della scelta di quali siano i sistemi che davvero vale la pena togliere al controllo della IA, si tratta di un titolo così unico che toglierà tante ore di sonno a tutti gli amanti degli strategici (come me). Bisogna però essere veri appassionati del genere per passare sopra a un comparto audio-visivo davvero da dimenticare.
