Even though I had some problems with the game it has a little potential. I cant say its a really good game but it was an ok game that I had some fun with. A couple problems I had with the game were that there were many cars or new weapons in the game. I know its only an early access game but 3 types of cars with 3 types of guns is not a lot to choose from. Another problem I had with the game was that the flying needs some work because while your in the air your car is very hard to control, your also not in the air for very long even with the longer flight and faster stamina for flying upgrade I still think the flying needs work. One of my other problems was that every time I got done with a match I would have to go back to my base (which I will talk about later) and rejoin another match. I thought that was kind of dumb that you could not just stay in the same match. My last problem was the glitches, you get glitches from early access games but this glitch or just problem with the game in general is where you could get stuck in almost anything. why I had a problem with this? People could get easy kills off of you. The things I did like though were the good ideas they had for this game. Its a good little time waster if your really feeling up to it and I liked the gameplay where you could fly or go under water. There is also a base for you when your not in a match where you can hang out and get supplie drops which I thought was a cool idea. I really liked the art of the game as well, it gave me sort of this rustic feel that I really liked. The controls were kind of iffy at times but I thought they were pretty decent. Overall I thought this game was pretty decent, free early access game and a fun sort of car shooter, I guess is what you would call it. I am going to give this game a 6 out of 10 and I will reccommend it, only, if your up for it :)

Alright, alot of people seem to be saying this game is pay to play, which is in no way true. In fact, the ONLY things you have the OPTION of paying money for are premium(which doubles XP and money gain, which is common free game fare, and by no means required) and aesthetic items, currently colors and trails. Even without premium, it doesnt take all that long to get the money for things, a few matches, which if you do well, and the game lasts long enough(It's based off the points you get in a match) gives ~10~15k of the in game currency each, and that's without premium, which is plenty. Now, if you're not doing well enough, it can feel a bit like you're not making much, but... that's true regardless of if you paid for premium or not. not to mention you can log off for a while and come back to an idle game style money generator, which generates money even while offline till it hits 15k, at which point it stops until you collect it. It's an interesting concept you should try, the game's graphics are really good for a free, early access game, the controls are customizeable and handles rather smoothly. I'm honestly astounded that one person managed this much for an alpha release. Only downsides would be bugs, a wierd "matchmaking" system, the low player count(Though that may be an illusion caused by the matchmaking being wierd) Overall, it's a free game I recommend to anyone who wants to be part of an early access game that has a good bit of potential in my opinion.

When you look past the minor bugs that Impulse of War has in its early access stage there is a game that is nothing short of fun. It's one of those games where even if you don't have as good of aim as everyone else or aren't as good at controlling the vehicles, you still get drawn back to the game time after time because of its enjoyable playstyle and immense landscapes to drive around in. Impulse of War has so many great opportunities in its vehicles, maps, gamemodes and more that keep me excited about its future and makes Impulse of War on the right track to becoming one of my favorite games.
