This is a wonderful game, unlike any I've ever played. It's turn-based, and a real pleasure. It's well-balanced, challenging without being frustrating, and a brilliant combination of tactics and RPG. The tactical situations are challenging and fun, but what gives the game depth is the role-playing element: you can't help taking your responsibility for your men seriously, and that weights every decision in a way typical games don't. And as the story develops there are, of course, surprises -- as in any good story -- which adds drama in the best sense. The beauty of this game is how it makes you think and even feel as a commander of men in battle -- men about whose fates you are made to care. It's not about blowing things up, it's about the human experience of combat, of trying to take care of your men while completing the mission as determined by the higher-ups and required by the war effort. Processing all that is what the game is about, and because it's turn-based, the implications of each decision have time to sink in, while the evolving plot throws plenty of surprises punches that keep it interesting. Keep it coming!
Simple, People whine and whine (My old gamer self included) for something truly different, engaging, and challenging.... and with old school immersion, depth and fun.... this might just be it! I am really enjoying the tutorial and early campaigns, I don't love linear campaigns, but the designer give you a lot of impactful freedom here, and truly open ended outcomes. You are living a story, a rich, old school, honourable story, that will captivate you if you were ever into World War 2. Don´t ignore the cutscenes and text, the reading, its all high quality, and it all delivers if you commit your mind to letting yourself immerse in this great and orignal game. There is something brilliant about this game, as differently paced as it is, the pacing captures war and gives immersion, ¨long periods of waiting followed by nightmare seconds of dread that seem like years." Bravo, and well done! Highly recommend.
I love how this game actually leaned into the realism side of things, even if that can't be perfectly replicated 100% in a video game, especially since the arcade-y route has been done to death a million times over in the WW2 genre. The subject matter was treated with the utmost respect, while at the same time, doesn't shy away from dark subject matter, which is difficult to pull off successfully. It also features a couple genuinely surprising moments that can hit pretty hard. Fans of the John Tiller games will find themselves well at home with the gameplay, though it's far less punishing and obviously more focused on storytelling. It doesn't take long to figure out the basic gameplay loop. Strategizing the best way to suppress and ultimately flank the enemy is what players will spend most of their time doing outside of the narrative. Locating enemy positions without getting filled with lead in the process is also key, which makes the "Creep" order meaningful. There's definitely a satisfying sense of accomplishment when you're able to roll up an enemy's defensive line after identifying and penetrating a weak point. Using the Mindset perks and deciding when to employ the Captain's extra orders before passing the round will also make the player think about the order in which they do things, which is pretty engaging. As for cons, I think the difficulty could have been upped a bit more, since you usually have plenty of time to meet objectives. I was able to achieve Major/Minor victories for both the missions and the men on my first blind playthrough. Some of the stats and how they affect narrative choices could also be explained a bit better, like Directness, Verbosity, Realism, etc. They didn't seem crucial to a particular gameplay build but are rather there just for flavor and roleplay. Overall, I'm glad I bought it and thought it was a breath of fresh air. I'm excited for what else this developer could do in the WW2 genre once some of the rough edges are ironed out.
First game I've played that managed to really capture the spirit of a war epic. The mix of text based narration with top down strategy creates a lot of neat emergent storytelling (although this is often more scripted than it first appears). That said, the writing does not manage to communicate anything new about WWII beyond what has already been done hundreds of times elsewhere. While it is neat to play out the (pleasantly) exhausting scope of the war, I think the format they managed has room to move beyond Band of Brothers' cliches. With so many recent incredible text heavy indie games like Disco Elysium or Perfect Tides: Station to Station, Burden of Command's storytelling left me wanting.
TL;DR: A great WWII Tactical RPG with tremendous writing, I would recommend. If you like military RPGs (Like Legionaries Life or Never Second in Rome) combined with tile-based combat (like Memoir '44 or Battle cry) then you will love Burden of Command. The writing in this game is 9.5/10 [you will genuinely feel the "burden" of your choices]. The music is ok - nothing to write home about. The graphics are a bit low, but this does not in any way detract from the experience. The gameplay itself is a bit hard to learn, but you pick up on it overtime. The DLC that you can buy is well priced for 3 new missions that are just as good as the base campaign battles My 3 biggest critics are: (1) it can be buggy at times in the battle maps (especially when there are a lot of enemy vehicles) and in the preparation menus (clicking between screens does not go well); (2) it is not always clear when you are "resolving" an issue with your skill set and when you are advancing your skills; (3) it only has 1 main campaign to chose from. Would I buy the game again knowing these critiques - yes. Hopefully the developer(s) will add a second campaign (the pacific, Barbarossa, etc.). But it is still a 60+ game as it currently stands so you will get your money's worth
