The verdict

A tense, realistic one-shot-kill WW1 shooter on the Italian front with great gunplay, maps and atmosphere. Skip it if you want solo bot play, hate grind, or need a busy playerbase.

Great for

Players who like realistic, punishing team shooters and WW1 history, and can grind unlocks

Main risk

Small playerbase, weak bots for solo play, and a slow unlock grind

What players complain about

Bots are poor and unfair

Mentioned in ~1 in 5 negative reviews

Steam review · 2.8 h played ↗

Steam review · 4.1 h played ↗

Steam review · translated · 21.6 h played ↗

Veterans dominate and attacker side unbalanced
