    It's a shame that the crowdfunding didn't get what they all hoped for.
    Really wished it would have been better.

Картонные персонажи с игрушечным оружием и топорной механикой - все это вы сможете увидеть здесь, в этой игре. Странно, как так можно было испоганить прекрасный движок Unreal Engine...

    В игре ужасный баланс. Противники, конечно, не очень сообразительные, но стреляют очень... ну прям ОЧЕНЬ точно. Выглянешь из-за угла - прилетает пуля. Их, противников, огромная куча и каждый стреляет очень точно. Неважно, легкий, средний или тяжелый у вас бронежилет - вы будете умирать с одной-две пули. Чтобы пройти хоть одну операцию, нужно потратить ОЧЕНЬ много времени. Неоправданная сложность. Сохранений нет, противники и их расположения генерируются случайно. И еще союзники сливаются в первую минуту. Контролировать их очень сложно - идут куда хотят, стреляют редко, стоят в открытых местах и даже не пытаются прятаться. В целом, вы проходите операции в одиночестве.

    Старания разработчиков были напрасны. Игра вышла ужасной, баганой. В общем, об игре даже говорить больше не хочется. Она не заслуживает вашего внимания, поверьте мне. Купите игру - моментально разочаруетесь.

    A horrid, buggy, mess plagued with bugs, terrible AI and horrendous multiplayer, yet through some chain of events, I got it free.
    And I can safely say that it is a waste of space.

    This was a big let down, I purchased this for some of my friends and it was a complete failure. The AI is a joke, it is not immersive at all, there are no events, basically your just entering a room and have to pie it and when you see someone you can line up a shot but the others are oblivious, the enemy units do not use formations or lean or do anything with anything but stand move and gun. The maps while a small positive in there size and diversity are few in numbers, the AI do not use any map elements or items or anything, they do not seem to acknowledge each other, like they stand there every day really? Don't they live life? Have a cig? Talk to each other, actually use each other? Na, they are just dummies. The PvP is ok but other games like Insurgency surpass this game. I prefer Tom Clancy Rainbow 6 3 over this. The AI, actually react and use each other, and the map elements, and you can open doors in inches or all at once. I think this game tried to copy that, but with better graphics.

    The gunplay in the game is so blah and nothing, for example in Insurgency it is decisive, and dynamic, like Counter-Strike but realistic. Here it is like a carnival game almost. They once sold this game for $1.00 so do not buy for $5, can you believe I actually paid around $45 for 3 copies, now at full price I can have 9. Please take that as a sign that this game is a no go.

    Remember if your looking at this game and say your gonna like it anyways, go look at Insurgency,

    Thats right INSURGENCY. It is exactly what your looking for and better, and has a more dynamic co-op mode. The bots in Insurgency use cover, seem to communicate with each other, you can even hear them sometimes barking orders. They also do flanking and apply pressure at key moments.

    Takedown Red Sabre co-op is only good when your with friends and you use your imagination. The Dev sure has issues, be careful he is sensitive about the word gay, he will ban you months after you been initially punished for it.

    BTW, Just breezing thru the community hub, is a whole community of people that made videos that highlight the **** gameplay, even regular posts about people raging that this is incomplete, be careful the DEV has a vendetta, **** risk ban hammer.    … Expand

    Game has zero playability. Enemy AI either shoots you with the most insane reaction times or barely acknowledges your existence. Your own teammates will shoot at bad guys regardless of what is in the way. Watched my own guy shoot my other guy. Level design is nice but confusing seeing as there is no map or intel provided. There are only 5 weapon platforms that come in multiple calibers.Game has zero playability. Enemy AI either shoots you with the most insane reaction times or barely acknowledges your existence.

    To put things together, T:RS is not just a disaster from kickstarter but also a product which isn't a promised tactical shooter in any way, instead being a generic first person shooter and a very frustrating one.

Artificial intelligence, both hostile and of our comrades is a total bottom of all bottoms. Amount of maps as well as maps themselves causes shock and in most cases this product is just rotten up to a bone marrow. Situation is not saved by archaic graphics and not very standing out audio. Lack of any control on our squad, irritating random objective spawning system and non-functional loadout along with other cons makes for a very explosive mix that creates unbearable stench spreading out miles from a working PC. I understand and appreciate Allen's effort on the game; nowadays, the genre of tactical shooters is practically extinct. But that doesn't mean it should be finished off by releasing such a mess and at the same time - lie to those who supported the project. I'd rather break a jar on my forehead than play this abomination. Seriously, you shouldn't play this crap even if given for free. Unless you like to paddle in a cesspool and you're welcoming tonnes of sweat, blood and tears with open arms. Otherwise, just forget about it.… Expand

    This game is terrible. It's buggy, and I knew something was wrong when it was on offer on Steam for 90% off, *and* it gave a free copy with every purchase. If you play multiplayer, and the team dies, you *have* to restart the lobby and the settings; you can't just click "restart".

This pile of crap is gonna need the mother of all patches… like how about a whole new game sized patch?

    Why did this game have to be this way....

    Okay, so I'll start with some background information first. I... was really looking forward to this game, as I had not played a tactical shooter before and I thought that a game like this sounded very fun. I buy it the day I see that it's available, foolishly not looking into the reviews first. Oh boy, that was a mistake. The title screen    Why did this game have to be this way....

I buy it the day I see that it's available, foolishly not looking into the reviews first. Oh boy, that was a mistake.

    The title screen alone bothers me because it's incredibly generic, with music playing at a very low level. The menu doesn't save changes to settings if you leave the game. This is the slowest game you will ever play. Movement speed is laughable, walking being slightly faster than a snail, running speed being faster than walking speed, and sprinting speed is if you were speed walking. This already makes the game seem stupid. And your team AI is just the worst. They walk with their legs, and by that I mean NOTHING moves on them when they walk. their arms just stay on their gun and move forward. When you run into an enemy, they do nothing except stand and get shot while shouting random garbage that is of no use to you. Speaking of getting shot at, you have ridiculously low health levels, and since there is no way to recover, this means that you are stuck with maybe 1 hit for the entire level.

    Enemies notice you way too easily. Play a game like Metal Gear Solid, and you can get noticed pretty easily, but the nice thing about it was that you got a chance to fight before you got shredded to pieces. Not in this game. The enemy sees you and shoots immediately without giving you a chance to respond. This seems ok, right? Just memorize the enemy movement? Nope, they don't really have a set route, they just move places and stuff happens. There's nothing like a radar either, so you can't plan anything ahead of time. The game tells you that those with a plan will do better than those that go in guns blazing, but in fact, you have a better chance for survival if you just run in blasting everything you can see. Doing mission objectives is tedious because of this, since you need to actually look for what you're supposed to do, and exploring to find your objective simply isn't fun because of enemies that can kill you in the blink of an eye, and you not realizing what just happened, and then you switch to a teammate that gets immediately killed because it took too long for the game to switch.

    Bugs do not seem to be an issue, because it feels more like it's simply filled with the worst design choices ever made.

    The reason this isn't a 0 is because there is ONE redeeming factor.

    The ONLY postive thing I can say about this game is that the team continues to patch the game, which tells me that there is still hope for the game's future as something maybe somewhat decent. But until then, this is probably the worst game I have ever played.    … Expand

    This game could be a masterpiece if they do some patching, a lot of patching, like 2 months of patching. My ai squad wouldn't shoot people in-front of them, and some enemies I could just run straight past them and they wouldn't care, other times they just do what they should do! If I have to play a game like this again, I'm gonna swim in an ocean of acid.

    The games creators tout this title as a spiritual successor to SWAT4 and R6 Raven Shield, both games of which I am massively fond of, although to even start to compare Takedown to either of those games is a bit optimistic. Using those games as a benchmark I gave this game a rating of 2.

    Sound just doesn't sound real. There isn't a feeling of immersion, especially when you get shot at.

    Sound just doesn't sound real. There isn't a feeling of immersion, especially when you get shot at.

    Graphics aren't special, and looks more like something from 5 years ago.

    AI teammates in single player don’t do anything useful.

    Moving slow, dying in 2 hits and leaning aren't the only things that make up a tactical shooter. There seem to be a few things like reload animation jumps magically to a locked back slide when it didn't start that way, and the holosight not behaving like a real one just kill the experience outright for me.

    After only playing for 30 minutes, this game appears to be more like a mod someone made that takes away half the functionality from R6 Raven Shield, than a standalone release that is ready to be sold on the shelves, even if it only costs $15.

    My recommendation is rather than spending an hour playing this, spend the next 30 minutes finding your old Raven Shield disk and play terrorist hunt for 30 minutes.    … Expand

    Takedown: Red Sabre sums up the fears of every Kickstarter backer: that in the end they’ll have paid up front for something that doesn’t turn out very good. With clumsy presentation and wildly uneven difficulty, the game fails to be a competent FPS, much less a tactical one. The best advice I can give is to avoid it, which is little solace for those who backed it in the first place.
