A Mac version was released in 2011, and a game editor was added in the spring of 2012.ĭaniel Shannon of GameSpot, who rated the game a 4/10 said, "the game is plagued by performance issues, uninspiring combat, and an insane depiction of international relations. Making History II seems to garner a majority of positive reviews in these second looks and later revisions, and was nominated for "Strategy Game of the Year" by Game Industry News. Due to the release of a buggy and "incomplete" game, most of the early negative reviews are based on the earliest adaptations of the game while a few reviewers are giving Making History II a second look. In response to the amount of negative criticism aimed at the game, Making History II's developer, Muzzy Lane, has responded and over the course of 6 months created numerous patches to bring the game up to a playable state. In addition to the previous issues, the game also had a fair share of bugs and crashes which only further discouraged proper game play. Many of the reviews mention that the game gives the user an information overload due to the amount of information to be processed and the cumbersome GUI which the player is forced to use. Making History II was met with very low ratings on average at its initial launch. A game update in January 2014 added a fourth scenario that begins in 1944.
Multiplayer games can be conducted via LAN, or using the company's website, which offers a multiplayer service that saves and runs games in the cloud, allowing asymmetrical gameplay.

In Making History II players are able to control any nation starting from the years preceding World War II and beyond. In 2016, along with the other games in the series, Making History II was sold to Factus Games. Making History II is the successor to Making History: The Calm & The Storm and gives players the ability to take full control of any world nation, colonies, regions, cities, and military units during the time leading up to and during the Second World War.
