How it feels

A tense, player-driven tactical shooter where each mission can be approached with either loud brute force or quiet precision.

What players say

Players say this early-access tactical shooter revives the old Delta Force series with long-range engagements and a punishing difficulty. The AI is a point of contention: some praise its tactical competence while others call it unfair, especially at close range. Performance issues and a lot of walking are noted downsides.
