I had a lot of fun playing this with friends, think of it as the old battlefields, each team has to conquer areas in which you can spawn, except isometric view. And as you rank up, you can also lead up to 10 soldiers, which is pretty simple, there's no complicated menus or something like that. Another cool thing is that there's like a "bigger world map" that you can use to move to the next stage of your choice after going to an "extraction point" once you won the current one you're in, making a campaign a conquest rather than just separate battles. That aside, the biggest pro this game has is its shooting, it feels pretty nice, and fun, once you pick it up you can waste enemies quite easily, but they can do the same to you too, so you'll never feel too op. There are no classes, but you can buy weapons. The arsenal at your disposal is pretty varied, all weapons feel unique and do something different, sometimes you might even find especial weapons. And there's quite a bit of interesting mods you can get on the workshop and try, so it's definitely a good purchase.

What a fun game! Really good for a LAN party. Pro tip! Once you win your first battle in campaign mode, the campaign isnt done! You can "extract" from certain points on the map and win the whole game world!!!

Criminally underrated joy of a game. Great for people like me who want a good combined arms, large scale isometric shooter but are too scared to play Foxhole lol

Wouldn't have imagined this game to be so fun. Picked it up and the Edelweiss pack for 8.00 on sale. I have put in 13 hours already and it's a blast. Not overly complicated, doesn't require a ton of resources. Huge maps and very dynamic gameplay that ranges from just hustling to a new location to absolute chaos in battle. Reminds me of games were simpler but still a ton of fun.

This is a fun little top down shooter. Imagine a DOTA style game except there are no heroes. As you gain experience you can recruit other soldiers to join your squad and can eventually lead offensives on your own. Mod support is strong, but the biggest thing to me is that they're still releasing free updates and content NINE YEARS after release. The devs are simply awesome and clearly love this game.
