Full Spectrum Warrior: Ten Hammers is a mixture of action and real-time tactics. The user is assigned the role of squad commander. He leads several infantry units. In the second part, it became possible to divide the team into groups of two people. Guided technology was also introduced. Scouts were also added. Besides them there are snipers, attack aircraft, and grenadiers. Warriors can be brought into buildings.

During fights, you need to hide your fighters behind cover, fire suppressively, and try with the other team to approach the enemy from the flank or rear. The campaign in Full Spectrum Warrior: Ten Hammers is divided into 12 linear levels. Progress in them is saved automatically when milestones are reached. If unsuccessful, you will have to boot from the last checkpoint. On a higher difficulty level, defeat forces you to start the stage from the beginning. In addition to the single player, there is multiplayer. There they allow you to fight with bots in co-op and arrange fights between gamers. In the case of PvP, one user controls the rebels, and the second controls the forces of the Western coalition.

Compared to the original, the controls have changed. Now you need to learn the button combinations. The sequel has no tutorial built into the gameplay. There are only training videos in the menu. Graphics and sound have been improved. Military operations are again taking place on the territory of the fictional state of Zakistan. The US and UK overthrew the tyrant Al-Afad and then tried to create an interim government to establish a democratic regime. But six months later, local factions began vying for power, leading to an uprising and the threat of civil war.
