Countryballs WW2 blends basic strategy mechanics with representations of real-world nations portrayed as round, flag-faced characters. The game is structured around a series of battles inspired by historical conflicts, where players must use a limited set of units to achieve tactical objectives. Every decision — from unit placement to timing of attacks — affects the outcome. Though the visual style may seem lighthearted, the underlying mechanics reward careful planning and a solid grasp of each nation’s capabilities.
The game’s campaign mode introduces new mechanics gradually, starting with basic skirmishes and leading up to large-scale engagements. Each mission introduces fresh variables: new enemy types, map layouts, and operational constraints. Players must adapt to unfamiliar situations while using the unique traits of their chosen nation. The presence of different terrain types, from open fields to narrow urban zones, changes how units perform and encourages dynamic tactical thinking.
In addition to the main missions, players can revisit battles with different countries to test new combinations of tactics and units. Unlocking new content — including experimental weapons and elite troops — gives more ways to control the battlefield. A custom mode lets players build their own matches, adding unpredictability and extra layers of challenge. The design encourages experimentation without overwhelming the player with too many options upfront, making it a focused yet varied strategic experience.
