quite fun though it does have some issues some small others more annoying collectibles should have a slightly brighter glow in my opinion as should the shrines there are a few spots where you can fall through the map as well the worst is the minefield since it literally spawns the mines under your feet, stealth doesnt appear to work even though you can get stealth bonuses from kit. but gunplay and atmosphere are amazing
I really like what is here. Very gritty and intense at times. Excited to see where this will go with help from early access. Need some work but I needed a game like this.
O jogo é muito ruim Sim, é desenvolvido por uma pessoa só e tals, mas ele tá vendendo um early acess sendo que tá praticamente um alpha muito cru, texturas faltando e personagens mal modelados, gameplay totalmente desengonçada, um level design porco, sem contar que há diversas partes mal acabadas e sem colisão, fazendo você cair direto pro void. Mas a coisa acaba sendo tão ruim, que até jogos de ROBLOX conseguem ser melhor que isso.
game is not fleshed out and a lot of ai voices it seems like. does seem worth the price
too early, seems nice but i miss proper tutorial for climbing had to check online, needs subtitles and some adjustments about where you can go outside the map or just bug in a place, seems fun, and good, but needs some polishing.
Fun game. Neat concept. Little rough around the edges but overall a solid game soo far. Quite enjoyable, I see it only getting better with time, great job on it since it a solo dev team. Its a Souls like game but in ww1. Really scratches an itch, I didn't know I had.
I really do like this game, and I love its idea, but if you get this game, remember that it is in early access and is still has many bugs, but if you can get around the bugs quickly, it's a very fun game. Also, it does say open world, but it usually has paths for you to follow, if you go into an area that has no props or buildings, you probably shouldn't go there
great game did almost everything but get all the guns and upgrades and other equipment so not everything
чёт не оч. продукт ароматизированный, ароматизатор идентичен натуральному
THIS GAME IS UNPLAYABLE. but i will love it once its playable! i would say its woth buying it at this price. first off, to help them grow. and to make sure this game sees the end since it will be AWESOME. and also because the price is worth it. but keep in mind, its full of bugs, and really hard to play. althought, it is worth playing to help them with the data!
