Burkina Faso: Radical Insurgency

Where do I start? Great gunplay, great animations, hand-crafted level design, and a very active and communicative developer who really cares about his community! New content updates are released quite regularly with video showcases in his Discord as he progresses with new features/new content, etc! BFRI reminds me of a mix of Ready or Not/Ground Branch/old Rainbow Six Raven shield/Insurgency. This genre is lacking from an indie dev standpoint, so this is truly a breath of fresh air to play! I will say that BFRI rivals Ground Branch in terms of immersion and sense of fulfilment when clearing a level. And that is saying a lot considering that BFRI is being developed by a very small team! I'm very excited to see what the devs cook up in terms of new maps and gameplay! You can tell the love and passion that was poured into this game as soon as you step in the lobby. 12/10 would play again!!

This game needs a lot of work. The tl;dr of it is that you move super slowly like in Ground Branch or Zero Hour, but the AI are like CoD or Insurgency bots; very fast and shoot you the picosecond you become visible, and often you spawn into a mission already being shot at. The gunplay isn't very good; aiming and reloading is incredibly sluggish, the guns aren't very effective (the AI can tank multiple shotgun slugs to the torso and limbs without flinching, and sometimes survive multiple headshots), and the suppression effect when you're being shot at is way overblown. Gameplay-wise it is less complex than other similar tactical shooters, much less so than even the original Rainbow Six from 1998; less features/mechanics (for example, you can't even gently open doors to peek into a room without moving through them), less customization besides cosmetic stuff, simple objectives (kill bad guys, find thing and press F)

[h1]Felky Fun Meter[/h1] [h1]|-------|---| [7/10] Pretty fun![/h1] As someone who's not patient at all and likes to rush-in everywhere [spoiler](so not the target audience of this game xD)[/spoiler] I still managed to have a good time! The shooting was pretty good and there's already a lot of weapons with decent customisation :D Enough missions to try every loadout that I was curious about too. Only thing that was frustrating would be that the [b]hostage missions[/b] are very tedious I got lost in one of them trying to figure out which door I didn't open that happened to have the last person I had to rescue and that wasn't very fun :s Good luck for the full release ^^

En l'etat, c'est meme pas une alpha je pense, c'est vraiiiment le début. Je reviendrai dessus plus tard, je l'ai quand meme fini mais les succes ne se sont pas déverrouillé. y'a quand même du potentiel :)

Promising action/tactical shooter but feels really inconsistent I got the game in early access because it looked like a sort of promising tactical shooter with some really cool visuals and it was alright in early access. It did come to "full release" way faster than I expected and honestly it shows. While impressive it was made by a small team it all feels so disjointed. Some guns and animations look great, others borderline placeholders. Same with the maps, there is a motel map with checkerboard untextured windows and some run great while others struggle to hold 40 fps. It seemed pretty promising but I think the dev is already on to the next project. Hopefully this one gets some polish and finish to be a good game but I would not count on it. The AI is probably the worst part about the game too as they seem really unfinished. Some just stand in place but most will just rush straight at you the moment you fire a shot. The first couple minutes of each map is just a constant gunfight of guys with no sense of self preservation throwing themselves at you and then hide and seek with a couple who probably just got stuck. Overall its a really mixed bag of quality that kind of feels more like a janky action shooter than a real tactical shooter and based on the road map I would not expect anymore updates. I will change my review if it does get more.

It's a really nice tactical shooter. I really appreciate the new update (Lion's Den), it adds so much to the game. I usually play without steam initialized so I don't have much play time, but I've probably sank around 10 hours into this game to be honest. I think its a really good alternative to Ready or Not for $10 when you don't have $40. Overall, Recommend.

A ton of fun, can't wait for the upcoming updates
