How it feels
A gritty, methodical real-time strategy game that immerses players in the brutal trench warfare of World War I with deliberate pacing and a focus on historical weaponry.

What players say
Players split on this cheap WW1 strategy game. Some enjoy the quirky direct control of every soldier and even horses, calling it hilarious with physics mods. Others find it boring and repetitive, with very little content outside the faction packs and frustrating close-quarters knife kills.
