This game is made to be an accurate historical respresentation of WW1 trench warfare. It does a hell of a job doing just that. As someone who likes WW1 and WW2 history, I love it.

Fighting in the Great War through Verdun is an experience I will never forget. In the deadliest battlefields of WW1, there is no greenery. your only landmarks are sandbags, downed planes, muddy hills and even bodies. The bodies fill the trenches and shell holes. More and more bodies hit the mud as the machine guns keep firing. The wounded lay writhing and screaming in pain. The waterlogged trenches run red with blood. Artillery shells blow the legs off of men, leaving them to scream in pain as they bleed out. The shells leave craters to take cover in... if you don't mind the putrid odor of the corpses that lie in them. GAS GAS GAS! You are quick and throw on your gas mask as the yellow green cloud creeps into your trench. Your fellow soldier is not quick enough. He staggers around, choking, clutching his throat before he collapses, blood flowing from his mouth. Soon after, the opposing army drops into the trenches, bayonets and clubs and shovels and other brutal weapons at the ready. It's a massacre. Men are impaled and bludgeoned as chaotic hand to hand combat insues. Death and blood and rot are everywhere. Your fellow countrymen are dead. Your best friend just took a bullet to the neck and lays gurgling, choking, sputtering next to you, bleeding all over himself and you and the ground. Now he is dead. You're next. You could retreat, but that would be deserting. You know what happens to those poor, shell shocked bastards. There is no escaping your own gruesome, agonizing death. War is Hell. Do not play this game unless you are ready to experience all of this.

No other game I have played conveys the brutality, destruction, endless trench warfare and sheer loss of life in the Great War like this game does. And war in general at that. It accurately shows you exactly what WW1 was like, with attention to every detail. It shows you exactly what the cost of war is. It may be a game, and it may be fun, but it has a much deeper meaning to it than just that. If you learn anything from playing this game and experiencing the horrors of the most brutal war ever, it is that War is Hell.
