Full Metal Sergeant 2

Full Metal Sergeant 2 puts you in charge of a brutal training camp, where you turn raw recruits into specialized soldiers. Train them, manage their discipline and personal traits, and prepare them for battle, where poor decisions can cost you your best soldiers permanently.

Train your recruits

The game runs across 12 weeks. Each week gives you training points to spend on a range of trainings based on real military camps. You can work to remove negative traits, but recruits may suffer mental breakdowns or injuries, or desert. Their personal traits also affect how they develop.

Build training areas to address recruits’ weaknesses and forge them into soldiers. Facilities include shooting ranges and obstacle courses. Training decisions carry through to battle, so recruits who are not ready may not last long.

Special forces roles

You can assign recruits to nine elite special forces roles, including snipers, mortarmen, assault riflemen and machine gunners. Each specialization has its own perks, quirks and abilities, which shape both your recruits and your platoon’s composition.

Turn-based combat

Battles use a turn-based system. Use each soldier’s specialization abilities strategically to gain a tactical advantage; losing focus for even one turn can cost you a soldier permanently.

Skills and missions

The game includes a renewed, focused skill tree, along with maps, missions and a movement system for uncharted territories.
