The Army Men games were some of the first games I ever played as a little kid. Happy to see that they have FINALLY been added to steam.

Gameplay wise, it's obviously older then most of you reading this, so yeah, it's not "ultra pretty real life OMG graphics"

Still a fun game in a series of awesome games ( Except maybe Sarges Heros )

Buy this for the nostalgia.

Quick Summary:
- Playable with windows 10. (But there's still a chance that it will not work for some people)
- Gameplay is like Army Men 2, with some adjustment both better and worse.
- This one has offline battle mode.
- The enemies in the campaign are harder to kill than previous game even in easy difficulty which makes the campaign harder and more frustrating.

I played this game when I was young which was about 15 years ago. I finished the game using cheat codes because I was bad at the game. Now I've just finished the game (with easy difficulty), the review will be based on my present view.

Comparing to Army Men 2

Gameplay
Pros:
- Good graphics.
- More unit types. (mortar man, Alien faction, Space men faction).
- Offline battle (with bots).
- Different control scheme (depends on one's preference)
> to stand fire, just left click (no need for holding shift)
> right click to order move/attack
- You can control any unit in your squad individually. (mortar man is OP!!)
- New squad system, you can assign your units to different squads.
- Bigger battles with more unit under your command.

Cons:
- Enemies are hard to kill, even in easy mode.
> enemy infantry will usually go prone and roll around when under fire with makes them difficult to hit (proning is OP in this game).
> enemy somehow take less damage from weapons. For example, even I use flamethrower on a rifle man, it takes long time before I can kill him (takes about 10-20 ammo!).
> weapons have been nerfed. (ie. it takes 4-5 mortar to kill a tank, 10-20 flamethrow ammo to kill a guy, loads of rifle ammo to kill a guy, 1 air strike cannot kill a tank, etc.)
> eventually, it takes time to adapt to the new weapons/game balance.
- AI is bad and annoying. This also causes some missions to be more difficult since some missions are big battles that you cannot win using only Sarge.
> Path finding is terrible. If you order a guy to move to another position far away, he may get stuck, take a long way, go to different locations. This forces you to micro manage or move the guy there yourself.
> friendly AI is bad (especially, space men units). Sometimes they don't shoot the enemy even they are in front of you (with defense or stand fire command). It takes time to learn the AI behavior to command your units effectively.

When I was but a child, when all my peers had a console, I had a tower with XP, and this collection of Army Men games from 3DO. Before I had friends, these little green chumps filled that spot. These games are classic gems to another time. No matter how far we go with tech and the gaming world, I'll always come back to this, time and time again.

Nostalgia overload. Great port.

Grew up living on the computer playing all these army men games between mowing the lawn and playing with actual plastic army men. I remember Toys In Space being impossibly difficult, and it still is. This is probably the most difficult game in the entire Army Men franchise. Glad it's on Steam, for the price you can't complain. Time to get World War and Air Tactics too on to Steam too!!!!!!!

I absolutely loved this game as a kid. Tina Tomorrow <3

BUT I can't recommend this version of the game, as the controls don't function. Seems the rest of the Army Men games work well enough on steam, but this one does not yet.

People whining the weapons are underpowered and the enemies are too powerful. Get gud.

pretty cool old classic game but this version has a critical bug

1. mouse doesn't work smoothly every time while play game

2. when you playing this game sometimes escape to window

and flickering forever

I really wanted to enjoy it but I can't.
The movement is overall fine, it is the mouse that is the problem.
For whatever reason the mouse will just lock up and not let you look around and it happened so often I couldnt even get 20 mins into the game without just being so annoyed with it and quitting.

Every time it would lock up the only way I can reset or continue looking around the map was shooting and then I'd get a second of looking before it locked up again.

Best childhood game today... but this version for some reason harder and more buggy than older version
other than that, it's good
