Valor 1944

[i] The Dev kindly provided me a copy of the game through my Curator page [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45132469/] Can It Be Played Offline? [/url] [/i] First things first, Yes! This game does play offline! Since they provided me a copy, I played through it and 100% completed it. Here is some notes! [b]Pros:[/b] - It's simple, but has that arcade feeling that's a blast and entertaining the whole playthrough. - Strikes up just enough challenge with the combat. - Ragdolls have fantastic corpse launches that always makes me wheeze. - Easy achievements. [b]Cons:[/b] - Some weapons are redundant, or just are not good. Melee gets you hurt/killed more than gets you the kills. Flamethrower has such poor range you have zero need to use it, and it just eats through the ammo way too fast. The shotgun sucks! You will use long range weapons basically the whole game, or basically the sniper rifle only. - AI is dumb, easy to exploit. - Allies are just temporary meat shields, get in the way. I always told them to stay at the mission start and just went on my own. - If only medics actually did what medics are supposed to do, heal people. - You start every mission with every weapon. You don't pick up weapons throughout the game. - Every mission is basically the same objectives, just different locations. - There is no checkpoints. If you die you have to restart the whole level again. - You can very easily miss a mission objective if you aren't careful. There is no HUD guides to point out objectives, unless it's killing all enemies, then when there is only 3 left they put red arrows above the 3 you are missing. - Lacks a proper Options menu. You have to get into game and go to the pause menu to get settings, even then it's very basic that doesn't offer much. No option to rebind keys. - Plane controls were wonky with kb&m, but it is playable. - Do you like war crimes? I really don't see why the ability for enemies to surrender is here other than make it easier to kill them. - Finding all the collectibles does nothing other than an achievement. Some of them were stupid hard to find. Getting them all on the last level also sucked. Now, there is people asking if this is a rip-off of [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1163910/Brass_Brigade/] Brass Brigade [/url] but they are two entirely different games. Brass Brigade is a Battlefield clone, Valor 1944 is more something like Medal of Honor, or more like old school FPS games, which is what I enjoyed! Yes I did say a lot of negative things, but I still had a lot of fun and enjoyed most of my time playing it! For 3-4 hours, it's the perfect kind of game to finish in a night, and have a blast sending the enemies flying into the stratosphere! The game is a easy recommend!
