Insanely fun game, the spirit of Starship Troopers with a comedic twist on the whole idea.

Be sure to spread democracy in unhealthy doses of Liber-Tea all around the Galaxy!

Okay so let me start by saying that this game is not for everyone. If you expect a fast-paced shooter like Rainbow Six Siege then this game is the opposite of what you are likely looking for.

For people that enjoy intense tactical gameplay and slow-paced thought-through approaches this is one of the only games that comes close to what the SWAT series offered.

No sprint! (You can lower your weapon to move a bit faster but you can't just Leroy around)

Man I love that. Not being able to sprint makes the game so much more smooth to play in random groups. Everything takes a bit of time and you can think how you stack up and breach.

Noone can really go Rambo and the ones that try it are send back to the spectator screen within seconds.

Gadgets are currently limited in choice but present the foundation of what you need.

You got Gas and Flash Grenades as well as another LTL-Grenade named "Stinger".

Breaching can be done by means of Explosives. Battering Rams, Breaching shotguns or just old-school kicking the doors down. You can also use door wedges to block off escape routes or entry points.

Equipment wise there are NVG, ballistic vests and helmets as well as gas masks and flash resistant masks.

Weapon selection isn't half bad with a few Assault Rifles, Shotguns and MP's to choose from with different sidearms to go with them. You also have LTL options like a pepper ball gun, bean bag shotgun and a taser as pistol gadget.

Map design is different and challenging while some are more detailed than others you can already see quite some attention to detail in the "first" level while others still lack a bit of "life" which the Dev's already commented on is getting added but they wanted some levels ready to be played with.

Each level comes with different scenarios, you need to follow general RoE and it's really tense trying to get everyone (including the gunman) out alive.

The game also adds some information that makes you want to take the shooters into custody like telling you that the shooters at the gas station are juvenile and the robbery went wrong.

It really hits the spot with tight and incredibly short firefights that are over within a couple seconds where 90% of the mission is spend going around, using every tool you have to avoid direct confrontation and you get rewarded for it accordingly.

For it being an EA title I can only recommend this game for people that are looking for a slow tactical shooter like SWAT 4.

(Which is really cheap to grab right now for only around 5€, just keep in mind that SWAT 4 is from 2005 and looks and plays accordingly. But it gives you a really good indication of what RoN will feel like, although RoN is much more unforgiving in reaction times. So if you are unsure if you want to invest into this game then go ahead and try this first.)

The game of course needs some more work to be done in terms of AI behaviour and some more levels / scenarios but if this is the first playable build in EA and we see regular updates after the holidays this game could become a true marvel of it's genre.

Well... here we go:

The core gameplay is actually fun and enjoyable.... IF

there weren't as many gamebreaking bugs and missing features keeping you from spawning / respawning / hitting enemies / playing with more than 3 friends / running it on anything but a NASA supercomputer / not having to run a marathon each round / being able to play Portal Mode for normal XP / not getting murdered by skyscraper climbing hovercrafts / playing the game at all (thanks persistent data error) and that's not even the whole list but all I can be bothered to even type out.

Even if they fix all that, the clear focus on making money of other games successes makes this one a total ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of cringy and annoying toy story action figurines. (Talking about you Webster!)

A world in chaos and fighting for ressources?

"I am not overconfident I am just better than everyone else lol roflcopter" - Woody

" That's it? I am ready for round two!" -Them

(Honestly no problem with EA / DICE adding non-binary soldiers, just annoyed they used them purely to hop onto that bandwagon and farm karma points)

Yeah that sounds like a world in despair and people desperate for food and ressources.

They flat out sold out the genre and in my opinion they shouln't even be allowed to call this game "Battlefield" just go ahead and name it what it really is:

"Apex Warzonite the Hunt for Money"

Everyone looking for an alternative for the upcoming Back 4 Blood game or just in general a horde shooter similar to L4D back in the day should give this a try.

There is tons of customization options for your character, an intersting perk system and challenging missions.

The game is set up as a 3-Player Co-Op shooter and while choosing the right classes to synergize this isn't a necessity at "Casual / Standard / Intense" difficulty levels. Only Extreme and up require some more team synergy.

There sadly is currently no Quick-Match which means looking for players especially on higher difficulties will take some time if you are looking for casual non-mic gameplay. Since the game provides no chat functionality (neither text nor voice) you are better off using DIscord to find people to plaay and match with.

The official Discord is designed in a way to let you create your own rooms, even with a password and invite people in or just ask in a general "Looking for group" chatgroup where you will usually find a team to play with within 5 minutes.

Overall it's a fun experience, no major gamebreaking bugs / performance issues and with future content hopefully keeping it fresh it's a must-have for any fan of the Alien genre or L4D enthusiast.

Ein wirklich gelungener Taktik-Shooter, der sowohl schnelle und spannende Spielelemente als auch langwierige und sehr Tatkische Elemente Beinhaltet!
