I, like many others, stumbled upon this game by chance. I never expected much from it, to be completely honest. However, after some hours of gameplay, I also stumbled upon what I now consider a friend, who invited me to a "regiment" (which is one of the many communities dedicated to this game, for those unaware). Were it not for the community and laughs, the moments of frustration when you realize that you're not great at melee and get dunked by a child with 2000 hours in the game, and the people you meet who you wouldn't have met otherwise, I would have asked for a refund.
The game on its own could be described as, and I quote, "the biggest piece of dogshit." For a game of less than 50 GB, its optimization is nonexistent, meaning that a decent PC will not give you 60 FPS on high settings. Anvil Game Studios has made it clear that they would rather create 3,467,236 billion more maps than try to add any balancing mechanics or improvements into the game proper. (On that note, I might add that they've also tried to blame part of the player base for their shortcomings, which knowing the percapita neurons of the player base it's funny and pathetic.) Therefore, the playability for new players can be challenging if you don't stumble upon some experienced shoulders to lean on.
This brings me back to the player base; it’s the most mixed bag one could ever expect. I've met some amazing people in my short time with this game (about a year as of writing this review). However, there’s also the fact that the public lobby chats hold the world record for slurs said per minute without any repercussions. If you happen to be mistreated on your journey through this game, AGS will surely help—oh, no, they’re just licking a streamer's boots (definitely boots, by the way) again. *Sigh* Oh well, I’m sure they’d listen to the community’s ideas on how to improve the game, wouldn’t they?
Even though there’s an entire Discord channel dedicated to this, they might as well name it "Paper Shredder" instead of "Suggestions," since nothing you write will be read by anything other than other people trying to suggest something else.
Even though at heart I’m a pessimist, I cannot deny that if you’re willing to go through all of that (not that it’s as terrible if you’re not planning on becoming an active player), there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. This scuffed game has provided me with a lot of fun, with its questionable melee system that I can exploit because I live a continent away from where the servers are, and because some of the other shenanigans it can be entertaining.
overall, this game is not worth any money, in fact they should pay me to play this (insert prefered word for excrement), btw, Danish is not a real language. Las malvinas son argentinas. and some one please tell Donald to stop.
