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.

buggy mess. unplayable. if it doesn't corrupt your save files it will just despawn the chopper you're inserting in.
pros: - regular updates - a lot of content (can easily explore this game for at least 20h and even more with the mods now - so the game is replayable) - emphasis on tactics - many loudout customization options - great mechanics for creative tactics (fpv drones, smoke grenades, silencers, all weapons kinds: assault rifles, shotguns, sniper rifles, missle launchers) cons: - optimization - walking simulator features that would be nice to see in the future: - vehicles: atvs, motorcycles, pickup trucks with mounted machine guns, hummers (great for locomotion and creates new mission types that include armored attacks)
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
