Verdun

No game has ever captured the feel of trench-based warfare as well as Verdun.

Verdun is a brilliant FPS made of mud, trenches and death. It's not perfect but it's still evolving and has a lot of potential.

A forgotten yet interesting setting, World War I receives its first full-fledged realistic FPS with Verdun, a solid but perhaps limited game that recreates trench warfare nicely but falls short in some content aspects. Definitely worth a try for the historical game enthusiasts.

Verdun is a welcome change of pace in the almost always hectic multiplayer shooter arenas. The rules offer a successful mix of realism and the usual unlocking mechanism. But there are not enough modes nor maps to keep you busy for too long.

It's mostly historically accurate, and comes with a realistic feeling. That sets it apart from the average military shooter, and it might serve as an interesting alternative for Red Orchestra 2 fans. When it comes to game modes, it falls short, but that might be improved in the near future.

Traveling back in time is a nice thing especially when things are done well. That's the case of Verdun, a nice FPS that changes the way we use to play games on the genre. It's not spectacular or overpopulated, but enjoyable.

Verdun is a game that should appeal to any FPS fans looking for something different.

Verdun is a game for all those WWI aficionados out there, or for fans of historic FPS that for whatever reason are not covered by Red Orchestra 2. For the rest, there are better options available.

An honest shooter with a well built multiplayer soul, that does exactly what was promised by the developers and has some similarities with the Red Orchestra series. Not exactly a technical marvel, but a good game nonetheless.

Verdun is a specific shooter, made for gamers that appreciate more authentic and realistic combat. Call of Duty crowd will be taken aback by the not very dynamic nature of combat, but the game can still provide a lot of thrills.

The Dutch Verdun offers a great representation of the First World War. You really feel like you are in the middle of the war, having to fight for your life. But the framerate issues, the limited number of maps and the progression system with its ups and downs cause so much frustration throughout the game, that it is really hard to stay focused on the war instead of the technical issues of the game.

It is possible that Verdun will grow its own collection of free DLCs as it happened with Red Orchestra 2 and Insurgency. Blackmill Games has already promised to add flamethrowers, mortars, body armor, new maps, including the Eastern Front and more… However, right now this game is for military history buffs only.

Remarkably authentic war trenches and stunning atmosphere can’t hide that Verdun misses having great multiplayer.

Verdun is an interesting shooter that depicts the mechanics of trench war, but is better to wait for developers to polish the game before lining up for a suicide attack.

An unusual topic suffers mainly because of the lack of content that aims on the hardcore community, and at first it will be hell for absolutely everyone. Thanks to its atmospheric and historically accurate simulation Verdun certainly finds its audience, but think carefully, whether you belong to it. You also must have in mind the system issues – e.g. the missing balance and sometimes the slow pace.
