Over The Top: WWI

i truely believe this is the best ww1 shooter to ever exist in all of humanity.

Over The Top: WWI really surprised me in a positive way. For me, the heart of the game is clearly the massive battles. When hundreds of soldiers are fighting at the same time, artillery is landing everywhere, machine guns are firing across no man's land and entire groups are charging out of the trenches, the game can create moments that genuinely feel like the huge battles of World War I. I especially like the trench system. You can dig your own trenches, expand positions and prepare defensive lines. Because of that, the battlefield can actually change during a match instead of just being a static map. The class system is also very well done. Every class has its own strengths and purpose. Officers can make a real difference, especially when a team communicates and plays tactically. A well-organized team can completely control a battle, and that is something I really enjoy. The game also gives you a lot of freedom in how you want to play. You can find a good position and spend your time sniping, support your team with heavy weapons, defend a trench or simply charge straight into the enemy lines with everyone else. There is almost always something happening. Graphically, I also like the game. Of course, this is not a huge AAA production, but when artillery, smoke, vehicles and hundreds of soldiers are all involved in the same battle, it can look extremely impressive. Most importantly, the game is simply a lot of fun. I honestly did not expect to have more fun with this than with Battlefield 6, but at the moment I do. The developers have found a very interesting niche here. There is still quite a lot of work to do, though. More maps would be very welcome, and I think proper campaigns or larger connected scenarios would fit this game extremely well. Some explosion effects and visual effects could also be improved. I actually like the fact that the vehicles feel heavy and sluggish, because that fits early tanks very well. However, the actual driving physics could still be improved. The view as a gunner or crew member inside a tank also needs more work. The biggest area that needs improvement for me is the first-person perspective. It needs a major overhaul. Animations, weapon handling, aiming and shooting should feel smoother and more responsive. Another important issue for the future is anti-cheat protection. At the moment, the game mainly relies on server-side systems and server administrators instead of using a traditional anti-cheat solution. Server-side protection can prevent or limit many types of cheating, but things such as ESP or wallhacks are still a potential problem. If the player base continues to grow, I think the developers really need to invest more into this area. It does not necessarily have to be an extremely intrusive kernel-level anti-cheat, but stronger detection systems, good reporting tools, active server administration and additional server-side checks would be very important. In a tactical shooter, even one player using ESP can have a major impact on an entire match. This is something that should be addressed before cheating becomes a serious problem, not after. Despite all of that, the foundation of Over The Top: WWI is very good. The game still needs work, and you can clearly see in some areas that this is not a massive AAA studio. But at the same time, it offers something that very few other shooters currently provide. Massive battles, player-built trenches, artillery, tanks, different classes, officers, teamwork and complete battlefield chaos all come together to create a genuinely entertaining game. If you are interested in World War I and enjoy large-scale battles, I can easily recommend Over The Top: WWI. It is not perfect yet. But it is already incredibly fun to play, and I am very interested to see what the developers do with it in the future.

10 out of 10

This game is incredibly fun. I love the building and how dynamic each game is as they all play out differently. It's slightly janky which I feel adds to it's charm. Developers have got a great idea going. I hope they continue to improve on the game and work out some of the bugs.

Pretty ok but not really worth it if you already own BF1 or Holdfast... The digging mechanic and destrucible terrain is very nice but sometimes it feels like you have to dig yourself (and die for every meter) closer to the enemy. Looking at the ground for 5 minutes straight while shoveling isnt really fun, also building ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of bunkers barricades is also not really fun but its essential for the team especially when youre on defense. Overall the game is ok for its salce price and will bring you fun for some hours, but i found it to get boring after like 8-10 hours....especially since the guns are not really precise and shooting beyond 75meters often feels way to rng....

Loved every moment.. it needs some work but it's great with the boys for a few hours :D

Feel Fun to play.
