Frankly put the balance in this DLC is awful. I beat the normal campaign on Hard and that doesn't hold a candle here. You will have a mission were you have infinitely spawning German tanks which are at the max level. While you can't even field your lowest tier of armor before they're literally camping your base with King Tigers. I have no idea who the people are below calling this underrated, in the first hour you'd probably agree. After that, it is trash. It goes from new maps to multiplayer maps even the point system from multiplayer is used.

It lacks any acceptable amount of polish while effectively forcing you into an Ironman game, saves have been removed, and be prepared to have missions go from boringly easy to impossible or bugged to be unbeatable. One of your 3 limited companies will likely suffer permadeath to one of such missions. Why would I want to blow hours replying the same missions on copy pasted multiplayer maps.

That's not even mentioning that DLC exists for the DLC. Do your self a favor, and play hard/expert AIs, you'll get the same experience as you would here.

Do you enjoy replying literally the same maps in a story that feels short already?
What about a game that feels like it ends in the middle, just so it can setup a squeal?

How about repetitive bland side missions that let you play those unchanged maps even more times?
That isn't really what I'd call fun. Most of this games "story content" is the quality of a filler episode.
You can tell there was effort in some places but that this game released far before it was finished or polished.

The "story" of this game is a bad copy of The New Order, pair this with the lack luster Old Blood
& you almost have a full game to play. Don't bother with the DLC either, unless you like worsening you experience further.

This game hurt especially for someone who loved the New Order and the enjoyable content that game held.

P.S. Listening to the end of the game to add extra insult to injury I even think the speech in last scene of the game was played in one of the trailers for this game.

This game is what Mass Effect: Andromeda is to that series. An insult to the ones that came before.

Storywise this game is as flat as a board. Awful dialog (porno levels of bad), boring repetitive level design, characters that have zero development or motivation and that's not even the worst part. I don't know what possessed me to finish this steaming pile of a game all the way through past all the padding which is most of the game. But after all that it somehow manages to have the most insulting ending I've seen in a game. It pissed me off enough to write this review.

I played through the game on the Insane difficulty, though it wasn't really challenging at any-point besides being strictly tedious or annoying in some parts. This game feels like it has no idea what it wanted to be. You can see obvious attempts to be like Dead Space, a completely halfhearted play at being Mass Effect, while somehow almost completely failing to be a Red Faction game.

The only positive I can say about the game is that some of the guns have features that are fun to play around with and feel original in their design. Even if they're completely broken, either in the sense of not working or doing ludicrous or wildly inconsistent amounts of damage.

This game has issues technically speaking, such as resetting your settings every time you exit and re-enter the game as well as constant enemy clipping issues. Its graphics are also very potato though that isn't unexpected.

TLDR: The game has fun guns, though nearly everything else in this game could be held up in a class as an example of the worst possible execution of a respective category. This is a game I truly regret having completed.

I'm sorry but this is just horrible. Horrible it actually makes the game terrible. I have tried 10s of times to play with this DLC only to have all runs smashed by it. Condetterri which are mecenary armies are like have a never ending coalition against you. Every war I delcare EVERY WAR!!! my rivals give their whole army to the enemy side FOR FREE so rather than fighting the ally less 1 province minor that has 7000 troops now they have a 150 thousand death stack. I lose half my land to that one province then the very same rivals who sieged down my ♥♥♥♥ with the condetterri a second ago now declare on me and attack me while also getting about a 100 stack from their neighbors. This DLC is like a game breaking bug where everyone is out to kill you including your allies. Worst part is though its not just your rivals, nations I have 200+ relations with send their armies in their whole FREAKIN ARMY! I was playing in the Steppe and a 40k stack from ming that had been given away for free shoows up in my lands in the 1440s, I was confused until I realised they were condentteri.

For the other stuff sailors, trade leagues, and slave raids.

Slave raids: Are just stupid they raid your land erelvent of if you have fleet there. There pretty much just bad events for free that aren't dynamic in anyway.

Trade Leagues: So if your a republic you can have like 9 alliances without going over diplo limit now. Pretty much just freezes the game in those areas or they just never form.

Sailors: So a second manpower meter? I mean it seems kind of stupid. If I need soldiers why could I use these sailors for manpower why are they seperate?

Crossing if you own both sides: This was IMO almost as nosensical as condenterri, why would you be able to cross a blackaded straight if you hold both sides but there are Man O' Wars between the straight? WHY!?! Why can people just cross, this update claimed it was partailly for navy but this was the largest and most deadly nerf to navy they could have ever made. These seemed like just a work around so the retarded AI wouldn't keep getting stuck on islands with its army.

Ok so I've played this game for hours on end.
It was quiet fun for a time but this game is endless ceaseless grinding.
If you like that kind of thing this is for you. I do like this better than Rust which has a system where you lose everything when you die. Here you get to retain your level and schematics.

However main reason I don't like this game is BattlEye, BattlEye is an extremely invasive and flawed security system. It reserves the right to rummage through anything you have on your computer. This is the same virus emulating security system most people used for the DayZ: Arma 2 mod some with great issue and complaint. BattlEye also brings forth a myriad of bugs and glitches that can break your game and all of it's progress. I myself lost all my character which I had multiple of, and am even unable to play this game due to BattlEye prevent me from joining servers. I've heard things just as bad from many others as well.
(To note I am not banned from the servers BattlEye merely broke my game's matchmaking mechanic a glitch so bad the reinstalling the whole game can't fix it!)
