About
You are a member of Task Force Dagger, an elite international special forces unit. Your missions take you across the globe—through frozen coasts, dense jungles, and war-torn cities. In Dagger Directive, tactical freedom is everything: pick your loadout, choose the time of day, and decide whether to strike hard and fast or move like a ghost.
Every mission is yours to shape.
Fight across three full campaigns, each set in a distinct region with its own atmosphere, enemies, and tactical challenges. Disrupt an eco-terrorist operation in the frigid Bering Sea. Battle organized crime across the volatile South Pacific. Crush an extremist uprising in Eastern Europe.
Each mission offers a different tactical sandbox, with objectives you can approach from multiple angles.
Gear up from a robust arsenal of 25+ weapons, each customizable with a wide range of attachments. Whether you're breaching doors with an underbarrel shotgun, clearing angles with suppressed SMGs, or picking off targets at extreme range, the armory has you covered. Supplement your firepower with drones, tripwires, grenades, and mines, and experiment with combinations that suit your style.
Dagger Directive blends modern game feel with grounded mechanics. Every bullet and piece of shrapnel has weight, velocity, and trajectory—simulated in real time. Adjust your scope for distance, lead moving targets, and respect the chaos of ricochets. Even grenades scatter deadly fragments that obey real physics.
This isn’t just spray and pray—it’s precision under pressure.
Each mission takes place in a large open area with multiple entry points, dense foliage, and tactical verticality. Control the environment by shooting out lights, hiding in tall grass, or stalking through shadows. Select the time of day before each op—just don’t forget your NVGs if you’re going in after dark.
The battlefield is a tool, if you know how to use it.
The Early Access version of Dagger Directive is already packed with depth and variety:
A 15-mission campaign that spans all three global theaters, offering replayability through multiple tactical approaches.
Full co-op multiplayer, so you and your squad can coordinate, flank, and execute missions together.
Over 25 weapons, dozens of attachments, and a wide variety of tactical gear—already giving you the tools to play your way.
A broad range of tactical equipment including deployable drones, anti-personnel mines, and multiple grenade types, adding layers of strategic options.
Post-launch development will expand both depth and customization:
A mission editor with full Steam Workshop support, allowing players to build and share their own operations.
An expanded tutorial system that dives deeper into advanced weapons, tools, and stealth mechanics.
A powerful Free Play Mode, where players can spawn enemies, allies, vehicles, and gear to experiment or create their own combat scenarios.
Modding support for weapons and gear, empowering the community to add entirely new content to the sandbox.

Ce jeu est une pépite je l'ai decouvert par hasard sur YT et j'ai testé la démo puis j'ai acheter dans la foulée,si vous accordez plus d'importance a la DA et au gameplay et que vous aimez les Tactical FPS au détriment de "graphisme clinquant" n'hésitez pas ce jeu est fait pour vous,le système de visée a la Delta Force est juste excellent et très précis,la personnalisation du loadout est excellente et vous permet divers approche selon votre style de jeux,le jeu est punitif un peux comme peux l'ètre ArmA,une balle un mort. J'ai du mal a trouver des défauts a ce jeu mais si vous etes friand de tactical fps et que les graphismes ne vous rebute pas n'hésitez pas.
best coop game for 4 since helldivers 2
good game but very poorly optimised people used to run graphics way better than these on a potato pc ,the graphics are like delta force 2 but somehow it cant even run smoothly even if i lower the resolutions and graphics it runs well when during combat but when i open drone controller and close it ,it get stuck on screen for a moment also the loading time is very long i dont understand it but i can run red dead demption 2 in 60 fps but this game is poorly optimised it look like ♥♥♥♥ and old mine craft and still is very demanding,i heard somewhere in comment that even on 5090 32 gb ram this games stutters and lag you should focus on optimisation and performance i dont think there is problem from my end
buggy mess. unplayable. if it doesn't corrupt your save files it will just despawn the chopper you're inserting in.
Excellent game, hard mode makes the AI a good threat and the customization with how you want to approach each mission is lovely
good game very fun
EDIT 1: After some debugging in the discord server it's working better. Don't ask me how verifying the game files makes the saving and loading work. But after initial testing its working without problem now. The weired thing is when verifying the files nothing was missing so not sure what has changed. Because of this I can recommend the game if you like sniping. The sniping feels great and you don't have to interact with the AI too much. AI obviously still needs work but that has been on the devs mind since day one so it's comming. Other than that expect FPS drops in the armory because of all the entities. While on mission the FPS is good and I haven't experienced any performance problems. Original Review: Love the premise of the game but currently I cannot recommend it. Neither saves nor AI is working at all. I'd wait some months before hoping on again.
Гра на диво непогана, особливо за такі гроші. Непоганий подарунок фанатам старої Delta Force. Спочатку бісить незручний приціл, але потім розумієш, що він так то доволі реалістичний, я сам при стрільбі з оптики ІРЛ тримаю обидва ока відкритими - праве, основне, дивиться в оптику, ліве - випасає, що твориться навколо. Графон тут місцями погірше, ніж в Дельті, окремі елементи взагалі нагадують PS-1-like хоррори. Звукам стрільби не вистачає сочності, з пневмата і то голосніше бахкає. Відчуття стрільби - могли б і краще. За різноманітність стволів (є навіть Г11 і Каліко, як в перших ДФ) - моя пошана. Грав як снайпер і трохи як дронщик, в таких ролях боти не пресують своїм інтелектом. А от при CQB буває тяжко (тут, як і в перших ДФ, нема ні аптечок, ні броні, якшо зловив маслину, то до побачення). Є глюки в керуванні, напр., кратність приціла колесиком повисити можна, а от зменшити ні, тому доводиться зменшення кратності на окрему кнопку вішать. Мувмент всратий - можна йти і повільно йти, якихось коротких ривків, щоб відбігти з лінії вогня - дуже не вистачає. Як і можливості запригнути на деякі виступи. Інтерфейс інвентаря не дуже логічний - короб для М249 займає стільки ж місця, як і магазин для Баррета. Система обвісів на стволи - круто, але самих обвісів малувато.
If you play with someone its fun
Fazit das Spiel hat gute Ansätze , aber die KI im game ist totaler Müll, die wissen immer genau wo du bist oder läufst .... auch die Treffergenauigkeit ist überirdisch ........ wäre das nicht so extrem wäre es echt ein Top Spiel ... auch für Freunde .....aber so nur 8 von 10 Punkten .... trotzdem zu empfelen : )
