Best War Games
War games are those games whose plot and universe are somehow related to military actions and armed conflicts. The player usually acts as both an individual soldier and a general of entire armies: this typically depends on the genre.
The plot of such games tells about both real historical events and wars in fictional universes, but in each of them, without exception, the player is required to complete numerous different tasks to lead their side to victory. These tasks are related to capturing strategically important territories, destroying the enemy's main forces, and other objectives.
This list includes all war games that have been released on all known consoles, regardless of genre.
