played the game with a friend because servers are all empty.

its actually fun and not a bad game!

all the game needs is MORE PLAYERS!

*nobody playing
*$24.99?
*not early access

I can't find any games under browse games and I don't know why.. Haven't played 1 game

servers are dead

Would you rather watch than read? Me too. Check out the highlights of the gameplay here:

This game is really not well made. The animations are laughable, the sound effects (if that's what you'd call them) sound like some of them are from a space game with laser blasers and to top it off there are no players in it. You CAN play with bots and that's okay, but honestly it's not worth it to buy the game just to play with bots.

There is a litany of other issues with the game that I haven't even covered here but the big ones are above. You can check the video for what this game is really bringing to the table (not much).

Honestly if this game actually had real people playing and was free I could see investing some time for some fun in it. Unfortunately it's just too poorly made to be able to recommend it. At all.

tl;dr - Save your money. It's not worth it.

review update 6/26/20 this game is STILL the sh*ttiest fps on steam even taskforce the socom theft game is more playable then this. This game is so horrible its an insult to horrible games on steam. NONE of the major issues have been fixed and grunt1914 has a huge identity crisis still. 221 guns with supressors. one the m1911 had those and these weapon reticles didnt exist either. not to mention the fact that both friendly and enemy ai all spawn together instead of seperate designated zones like a REAL fps game does. the ai still have aimbot you die every 1.3 seconds after spawning in because they spawn all around you. aligled games you are ♥♥♥♥ and to anyone reading this DO NOT BUY THIS GARBAGE. the last time i spoke with the dev who made this he screamed i was harassing him becasue i was critical of him game. hes had PLENTY of time to improve the mechanics and hes done nothing at all since the original review. sebastien your a failure and need to delete this trash off of steam your not cut out for this and i know you lied about being a contrator for a big AAA company your work proves your guilt.





ive seen bad shooters before but this? this makes them look like godwork level skill. The things ima bout to list were discovered in the first 5 minutes of gameplay and didnt even finish the first match before writing this review:

MISSING HITMARKERS
hit markers are the least thign youl see 80% of your deaths you just fall over and die totally unaware you were actualkly being shot because hit markers and hit detection do not exist and the minimal form that does is piss poor and thats being nice.

SERVERS/players/bots
servers are surprisingly stable. then again i had to host because NO ONE even plays this game at all. no players equal no fun. The bots on the other hand have fun by themselves. their coding is so amature its embarrassing at minimum. 3 times AI didnt know what they were doing and gave up. theyd run and when you hit them they freeze and dont move allowing for easy kills at long ranges. some will spawn still and not shoot you untill your in their face and unable to fire and one shot kill you.

WEAPONS/CONTROLS
controls are simple as most early access shooters are but sometimes become unresponsive to player action. the weapons themselves are god awful trash in my honest opinion. ive never heard of a hellreigel that sounds like it has a bulit in supressor mixed with a cat whose tail you keep steeping on for every bullet fired. Bullet ballistics dont exist here meaning its easy to snipe enemies from across the map with smgs and pistols with 100% ease. the game has ZERO skill based combat.

MAP
the maps are generic in design but to reskin the same maps multiple times and upload the lot as map packs is patheitc and lazy on the part of aligned games.


FINAL VERDICT
is this game worth the $12 they charge you to play a bot only game since players dont exist here. in 3 words:

HELL F*CKING NO!

theres better titles out there please use common sense and dont support this dev or this game. otherwise theyll pull a battlerush 2 incident.

Grunt1914 is one of those rare indie games where its clear how much effort and work goes into it. I read on the studio's Facebook page that there is only one person that created the game, which is very commendable.

Why I think its great :

- The game has so much content for an indie game. Even with only bots to play against its allot of fun.
- There are 8 maps that are super unique and detailed. And already a new map was released.
- There are many guns to play with, each feels different and unique.
- The graphics are really good for an indie game. There's alot of objects and stuff in the world.
- You can play in first or third person.
- The game is really stable and even though I'm on a laptop I got a really solid framerate.
- Its great to be able to make your own servers.
- There are allot of options to configure the game with.
- You can level up and unlock new stuff
- There are bots to play with.

Things that still need to improve some more :

- Some of the audio sounds didn't sound very accurate.
- Some of the guns needs to be configured a bit more.
- Sometimes the hosting will take a few seconds to get going, this is only a small issue though.
- The bots can sometimes be a bit stupid, to be fair I've seen this in most AAA games too though.

Overall I have to say I really enjoyed the game so far and will definitely keep playing allot. I have seen some people saying that there aren't many people playing but I think the community needs more time to grow. I was able to find a few matches easily so I didn't have that issue. Even without other players the bots still count towards your progression and they are fun to play against.

It seems to me like some of the people that played the game and had negative reviews maybe didn't really play much at all because I had none of the issues they described.

Its obvious how much work went into this game and I would recommend it to anyone that enjoyed the older style of FPS games. This felt allot like the old Call of Duty or Medal of Honor games, which to me is awesome.

With some support and time this game could become really great. The developer also seems to be very active with constant updates and new stuff.

Give it a chance! I did and I love it!

Very fun game actually! I'm very keen to see the development on this game and as is evident, the developer is online a lot so there's always progress

Well done on this game :D

Although this is the early stages of the game, I really like the detail added to the subtle things in the game (such as the smooth sprinting). The game is playable and enjoyable in the current state it is in, and therefor I cannot wait to see what updates bring to the table!

OK So this game is early development. Considering that. Movement is fluent and well made. Game is really fun to when you do manage to find players online. Its one of those where you and your friends have hours of fun just shooting each other. Really enjoyed the game. Remember it is still early access and developers are taking notes and receiving feedback and working on changes. Support them, This game can really be fun when completed..
