    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.

    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.

    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

    Honestly one of the best tactical shooters I've ever played. Rivaled only by Dark Souls in pure brutal difficulty., this game is amazing. Only marred by a few minor glitches (AI not paying attention, no reloading") this game is one of the best of the year. It needs a few updates, but I eagerly await to see the console version of this game, and a sequel

    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".

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just recently purchased this game and I am impressed by the concept and how challenging and somewhat realistic the game is but at the same time, the negative values started appearing, Just going over the pros and cons

    pros:
    -difficulty is as advertised, feels super rewarding to kill enemy Ais
    -The emphasis on teamwork is the vital component of the game which I like very much.
    -It takes actual skill to progress through the levels (a valuable characteristic that most fps games lack)

    cons:
    -multiplayer is dead
    -textures for squad members,AIs, and swepts are visually deplorable
    -menu/ui is unappealing
    -no actual tactical mechanisms other than shooting and walking very slow
    -The game itself is flavorless, even when it comes to other simulation/indie games such as payday and payday2, there was some kind of theme to flavor the experience and i was expecting that with this game but I was left disappointed.

    Overall, if the devs were able to improve the game dramatically over the course of a few weeks to a few months (multiplayer support,improving texture/graphics,improving ais), enable a mod community, add more content (game modes,maps),than I can see this game being revived from the dead but as of its current state, its a zombie.Not saying that I regret paying the money because I am waiting for multiplayer so i can actually enjoy the game but its just not up to par as of right now.I can imagine the negative reviews surrounding this game might have some kind of adverse affect towards the motivation and work ethic for the developers but hopefully they will overlook it and set out on improving it and delivering potentially awesome game.    … 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.
