What it's about: Un simulateur de bataille FPS de la Première Guerre mondiale axé sur la physique des poupées de chiffon, une IA intelligente, des batailles massives, un système de couverture procédural de l'IA, un système de construction en temps réel et des combats à la première personne (FPS) !

« Interesting tech demo, but not enough of a "game" to justify the price point. With the 1.0 content update, I hope the dev is able to work on UI and gameplay to bring it in line with the rest of the game. »👎 anonymous review · 2 h played1« I bought it for the concept, but I was quite disappointed, the AI is horrible and the gameplay is too clumsy. They should classify it as early access. 8 dollars price is bonkers tbh »👎 anonymous review · 2 h played1« Has potential but is widely unpolished : poor sound design, bad fps, multiple interface quirks and bugs and more. »👎 anonymous review · 14 h played« I personally don't enjoy it as an RTS and FPS guy. If you're interested go buy Easy Red 2. It's more fun and has better graphics and gameplay, with a cheaper price, and WAY better devs. »👎 anonymous review · 2 h played« Overall a mid game. Lots of potential but people have been saying that the developer will or has abandoned the game, so I'm just going to play it safe and refund while I can. »👎 anonymous review · 1 h played« the game is amazing, it's a cross breed between TABS and wooden battles basically »👍 anonymous review · 9 h played11
