RAID: World War II

better then payday 3, all jokes aside i genuinely think if this game was given a second change from players and if more people play i feel like this game could be great

We get to kill Nazis

Don't fall for the shill on youtube telling you the game is good. The game is playable, but with a dead playerbase you will mostly spend time playing solo. The bots are pretty tanky compared to payday 2 counterpart, but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ they would just stand around doing nothing while enemies are shooting. Especially when you are in cover, which is 90% what you will be doing due to how the enemy AI works solo. Enemy prioritizes you instead of friendly tanky AI all the time, this means that everytime you move out of cover the enemies will point at you. You can sort of outsmart this by hiding behind allies, but they also move so it's inconsistent. When playing 4 people, the enemy AI will split their attention evenly, but solo play is atrocious because all objectives forces you to be out of cover and interact for a bit. Not to mention the LACK of covers in a lot of areas. Not to mention very small weapon clip and very very rare health pickups meaning you will be spending most of your time solo sticking in cover and moving cover to cover while staying crouch all the time. I do not know why they made it so that friendly AI are more aggressive, considering now that the game is even more dead that the DEVS are moving to PD2. They say they are still "working" on the game, but they clearly play this with their own friends instead of trying out solo. Not to mention, there are also a lack of "cooperative" skill other than "sharing of buffs" on some skills. So does that mean there are a lot of solo skills? NO, because 80% of the skills are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ useless in combat with higher level skill require you to get the buff by LOSING. Like getting extra buffs when DOWNED, when you could only be down for 3 times before you are out. That's on single player too (some medkits are scattered that help you heal this down, but you will be downing a lot in single player). Some of the skills are laughable in a way that dumb down the game further. Like getting extra reload speed when you empty out the whole clip, meaning there is no incentives to use regular reload or that if your regularly reload your gun before the clip is empty (which are faster since you didn't have to ♥♥♥♥ the barrel) you will not get full benefit of the skill. Some of the skills require you to play melee / secondary, but with how the AI don't get full attention during solo play, you literally are walking to a spot where all enemies prioritize on you. I don't get it, if you know that the game is "dead" then make the bot useful or at least tank up all the damage. Otherwise solo is very slow and extend mission time by 3x because you will need to move cover to cover. If you don't want to fix the AI, go put on some damn marketing and make it free to play already. Nobody is going to buy this game, might as well give it away to everyone and then just get money from the super special edition.

Been playing this with a few friends and we've been having a blast playing this. Sidetrack Games really turned this game around into a damn good co-op shooter.

This game is rushed slop. this game in 2026 is a waste of $15 CAD. Game is super unoptimized, fps stutters 247, no matter the settings or tweaks you do. Stealth is sub par, imgaine grinding until level 22 to unlock a supressed pistol and if somebody is within 5-10 feet of you, you get detected if you fire it. Not only is it the only supressed weapon but it's close to useless unless used as a sniper from range but if you miss youre detected. Enemies will detect you even above or under you. the recent rework for all the skills made the already horrible game slightly better, but in my personal opinion, just buy payday 2 for the same price and use mods and you'll have way more content and enjoyment. game is very lack luster and feels like a early access game not a game that came out in 2017 ffs....

I'm yet to hit the higher difficulty levels and see if the mechanics actually combine into a coherent system, but even now I'm very much enjoying it - the game looks alright, sounds good, the tone and atmosphere are quite immersive, shooting is very much satisfying, there is some build variety - althouh I cannot attest if it holds up on Hard/Very Hard -, and the simplicity doesn't come off as a lack of effort, moreso the resources. Even then, I'm having fun and planning to stick around to at least get comfortable on Hard. upd. It's alright. A bit simple, repetitive, but worth the pricetag, if you omit the non existent playercount. Distinct enough from PD2, the blend of genre and setting feels unique.

Where to start, game looks ok, it has xbox 360 graphics. The AI is about as smart the AI you get when you call a company, that is it sucks. Invisible walls on random terrain so the actual level size is shrunk and railroads you so exploration is very little.

As someone who first played this game back around when it first publicly released in 2017, I already knew the game had lots of potential. However, then, it just felt like only a glorified reskin of PAYDAY: The Heist. Not very long afterwards, the developers blatantly abandoned RAID: World War II despite its underdeveloped state and moved on to more ambitious projects. Fortunately, in more recent years, this game was revived by the small, but passionate community. Now, this game has new, unique player abilities and a reworked progress system, along with brand new RAID missions. I'm very thankful to those who gave their efforts towards giving this game a second chance. :)
