About
A WW1 action game built around fully destructible battlefields where chaos reigns supreme. Explosions tear through terrain, fortifications collapse, and the front line can change shape minute to minute.
Over The Top: WWI turns the grim setting of the Great War into a frantic playground of destruction where plans rarely ever survive first contact.
Charge as a rifleman, build as an engineer, clear trenches as a pyromaniac flamethrower specialist, or call in airstrikes as an officer. Each class has a clear job on the battlefield, plus plenty of room for improvisation. Choose from three factions: France, Britain, or Germany, each with eight distinct classes. Unlock new equipment and customization as you play.
A dynamic, destructive WW1 Sandbox: blow up everything, dig anywhere, reshape trenches, collapse buildings, destroy fortifications. Explosions leave permanent changes that affect sightlines, routes, and cover. Fight across multiple maps, playable in different seasons and daytimes. Use the full map editor to create and share your own battlegrounds.
Dive into massive 200-player battles! Drop into the middle of an epic war movie, packed with flying debris, collapsing trenches, charging tanks and objectives changing hands as the ground itself gets carved up - pure multiplayer madness awaits you.
Bring flamethrowers, poison gas, shovels, dynamite, artillery, airplanes, machine guns, and a lineup of vehicles and experimental tanks. Gear up with a mix of historical weapons, use a vast lineup of different vehicles, and other items: slap enemies with a baguette or play the bagpipe to boost morale! Have you ever driven a tank with 10 other players inside? In our game, you can do so!

Игра интересная, сделана не плохо. Однако комментарий то негативный. А почему? А я отвечу - Антанта почему-то "тройственный союз" состоящий из двух государств. Где Российская империя, которая ценой своего существования трижды спасла Францию от неминуемого поражения? Из-за действия которой германцам пришлось целых три раза перебрасывать свои дивизии на восток? Российская империя которая воевала с Германией, Австро-Венгрией и Османской империей. Вы все достали игнорировать Российскую империю. Мелкие государства, которые никакого эффекта в этой войне не принесли вспоминаете наравне с победителями, а Россию принципиально игнорите. Пока Российская империя не появится в игре, отзыв будет негативным.
This game started off good, Action packed fun with many players and multiple ways about going about trench warfare and the battle scenarios but now the game has virtually no players. The servers used to bee good with multiple 100+ people servers but now you will probably only find 1 server that has about 40-60 people, the game is dead not even 6 months since launch. This was a game that I wanted to do good but when I launch into the game after a short break i find the game no longer active and worth playing. Sad to see
[h1]Dead Game, Avoid. Read More If Interested[/h1] Got the game and refunded it, decided to come back and look at how it's doing these days. Sad to see that the NA servers are dead, but unsurprised. This is the same exact thing that happened with their other game Battle Cry of Freedom. At this point, it seems as though Flying Squirrel Entertainment, while not outright scammers, know what they are doing. They release a game for a niche community they know will eat it up, and slowly just stop working on it and supporting it before eventually the servers become too empty for them to really even care about. It's sad, because I had quite a bit of hours of Battle Cry of Freedom, and my friends chose not to follow me to this game for the same reason of knowing that it will die shortly after it's release. A four month lifespan for NA servers does not bode well for this game, as the 24-hr peak is currently 191. I wanted to support Flying Squirrel so badly, as I love Civil War era shooter games. But if you're looking for a WW1 shooter, just go play Battlefield 1 at this point, as that game constantly averages more players than this one.
I knew this game would fail because the saturation of artillery was too much. Every game would go like this: spawn, explode, spawn, explode, spawn, explode, spawn, explode, and so on. I get it, "there was artillery in WW1!" obviously. But the artillery in this game is far too frequent and too close together, if you get caught in an artillery barrage, which is all the time, you 100% will not live even if you're hidden in the bowels of a trench network. After getting blown up for the 10000th time in a row I couldn't continue playing annnnd now the game is dead. Randomly exploding 95% of the time isn't fun gameplay. Who would've thought.
Featuring a brilliantly cool concept, Over The Top: WWI delivers a wonderfully gritty and immersive historical atmosphere highlighted by its highly satisfying trench-digging mechanics. But while molding the mud to evade incoming artillery is a blast at first, the game is heavily limited in providing truly innovative gameplay, quickly devolving into a repetitive and sluggish grind. It’s a tragic shame, because without more dynamic gameplay to keep things fresh, the player counts are plummeting—meaning this incredibly unique indie experience is likely dying out.
Game is fun, but hardly anyone is playing it anymore. Almost all servers are empty, besides a couple and those only have a few players and a bunch of bots.
Der kleine Bruder von Battlefield 1. In manchen Bereichen fehlt etwas der Feinschliff, wie bei den Treffern, jedoch das Ding ist wirklich groß. Es gibt Klassen, Fahrzeuge, verschiedene Karten, zahlreiche Waffen und man kann Schützengräben graben. Das ist überhaupt das Beste! Man kann Schützengräben graben und ausbauen. Auch die Landschaft verändert sich bei starken Beschuss (Krater, Bäume fallen um...). Die Balance ist halbwegs gut, also zumindest besser als in anderen Spielen dieser Art über den 1.Weltkrieg. Was für ein tolles Spiel. Es hat so ein leicht trashigen Faktor, aber es ist auch kein Battlefield 1. Wenn ich jedoch einen richtigen Ego-Shooter will, dann gehe ich zum 1.Weltkriegs-Spiel Verdun zurück. Verdun bietet zwar deutlich weniger Inhalt, jedoch fühlt es sich als Shooter deutlich besser an. In Over The Top: WWI kann man jedoch auch ein paar recht spaßige Runden haben.
It was pretty cool for the first two months, but playercount has dropped off significantly. This makes it hard to recommend due to the whole gimmick relying on 100+ player servers. Charming indie-jank, but lacks any marketing to bring in new players. May revive at some point, but it's looking like a flash-in-the-pan type success.
Best ww1 sim I think. It hit everything I wanted. Bf1's spiritual successor.
Nope
