    Weapons:bullet lead and time delay make landing shots at range feel rewarding while advancing over no mans land slightly easier.
    Uniforms/weapons/maps researched and based on historic information is great, the items look great and realistic. Been to enough re-enactments to handle dated items that look worse then the game ones.
    Weapons tend to be well balanced, they have their draw backs such as the MG08/15 being the best MG but slowest moving and only firing when deployed. Makes it a fearsome weapon in a strongpoint but easy prey to a grenade or mortar.

    Gameplay is rather brutal and harsh to new players, but the community is mostly positive and supportive, both ingame and on the Steam forums. You can also accesss a wide range of guides published by players which can help guide people on the game and answer questions.

    Devs are engaged with the community, there's only 3 Devs but they do have a number of volunteers and freelancers to help develop and keep an eye on things, yet they still manage to join in on the forums and are often in game and (May 2015) are streaming on Twitch. Great to see Devs in the community.

    Content, currently based on the Western front during the trench combat it can get a bit samey, however I feel after 650 hours that finding good players to play with and agaist in different squads make a huge difference and help keep things changing, still taking a while to get used to the recent MP-18 changes. You also have new content added (see roadmap) lately a new early/late war map where it's more mobile with less defined trenches is a different gameplay to Flanders or Picaride.

    If you are still unsure or have questions ask on the Steam forums and see the new Broadcasts there :)    … Expand

    Verdun is a great game made by a group of 3 developers. It offers a fantastic mix of historical realism and exciting game-play. If you think World War 1 was a boring period of time, then this game will clearly prove you wrong: with both tense long range combat and exhilarating close combat warfare in the enemy's trenches.

    Without a doubt one of my all time favorite games. The Devs actually play the game and are very responsive to questions on the steam forum. The community, overall, is very supportive and helpful . Dont be fooled by the 36 player maps. You respawn continuously in "waves" to continue the assault or bolster the defense. 36 can seem like a hundred as waves are moved down or defenses overrun.

    Verdun rewards tenacity. It has a steep learning curve- thats for sure. But there has been few games that have given me the sense of relief of solid defense, sting of defeat or "F yeah !" in victory like Verdun does.    … Expand

All players are actually on one server, and it divides each player into squads in which you fight together and level-up in. It's quite a neat and intuitive system built for playing together as a squad, and not a lot of empty server issues as new lower budget fps tend to have. I would definitely pick this game up even in beta if you are a fan of realism/WWI/trench warefare/history or the like. I have only played a couple of hours and im already hooked.… Expand

    My favorite shooter of 2014/2015. There are reviews complaining about "Technical issues", but I have never once had a technical issue in Verdun, and I have almost 90 hours in it. Not a single crash, noticeable framerate drop or other error. So, disregard those.

There are reviews complaining about "Technical issues", but I have never once had a technical issue in Verdun, and I have almost 90 hours in it. Not a single crash, noticeable framerate drop or other error. So, disregard those.

    Verdun is a shining example of a realistic, team-based shooter done RIGHT. Fun gunplay, beautiful maps and a very replayable gameplay style. The maps are well balanced, every gun feels like you're handling an actual 1900's era firearm as opposed to a super soaker (The guns have weight, they sound meaty and they do a TON of damage. rifles will rip through opponents and almost always kill them in one hit).

    Gameplay: Verdun is a squad-based trench warfare PTSD em-up. You take control of a random bloke in the middle of famous WWI battlefields. Oddly enough, the battle of Verdun isn't in Verdun.. You and your squad must take turns defending your trench from waves of opponents, and then charging their trench to take it over. The game is extremely accurate in this regard; charges "over the top" through no man's land generally consist of a slow push through a vertical hellstorm of bullets, with men dropping like flies left and right. While charging, you actually feel the desperation and will to survive that would've run through a soldier back at the time. As a defender, it's your job to shut these attackers down. You will be grenaded, hit by gas, hit by mortars, hit by snipers, hit by Machine Guns, you will be attacked in nearly every conceivable way. But, you MUST stop the enemy from getting to your trench. If an enemy Officer gets into your trench, his entire squad can spawn on him should they fall in battle. This is how most charges are won.

    Verdun's gameplay is best summed up as a back and forth bloodbath, with rifles and MGs cracking off from each trench as desperate men fight for honor and country. If you buy ANY multiplayer game this year, buy Verdun. You will be entertained for HOURS. It's easy to get into, hard to master and VERY, VERY fun.

    Squads: Each squad has 4 players. Each squad has 4 roles, and there are 3 different types of squads. One all-rounded squad featuring a light machine gunner, a rifleman (capable of using telescopic scopes to work as a sniper OR a bayonet to clear trenches), a grenadier and the non-commissioned officer or NCO. The NCO's ability in this squad is a mortar strike. The NCO can mark a specific area, and that general area will be struck by 3 mortar shells around 10 seconds after the ability is activated. This is VERY useful in eliminating well-dug in machine gunners and snipers, as well as infantry in your trench. Friendly fire does not work with the mortar. The second type of squad is an assault squad, consisting of a melee specialist who can carry grenades, a flanker, a NCO capable of using rifles right off the bat and a recon soldier. The ability for this squad is a Recon plane, which will mark all players in that sector of the map (no man's land, trenches etc) on the minimap. The minimap NEVER shows enemy players unless they have been marked by a plane. Only recon planes can mark players on the map. The third squad is identical to the second, except they have poison gas as their ability. Poison gas CAN kill, but everyone is equipped with a gas mask, so its lethality is diminished a bit. It's best used as a smokescreen for attacking infantry or to cause chaos in a trench.The NCO can order his men to guard/attack certain points by holding Q and pressing left click by default, or call in their squad ability with Q+Right Click.
    There's also a progression system in the form of levelups. You gain some XP from kills, but most of your XP will be gained by defending or charging. You will NOT be able to level up if you just camp in your trench all day. Every level up, you're rewarded with the ability to choose one preset loadout to unlock. Each class has 3 available loadouts (the British heavy gunner for example can choose from a rifle and a pistol, a light machine gun with plenty of ammo or a rifle with a small amount of ammo and a light machine gun with a decent amount of ammo), and there are 4 classes per squad. One person per class.

    tl;dr: A beautifully executed, historically accurate WWI trench shooter with awesome, replayable gameplay that will keep you coming back for another game. NOTHING is as satisfying as charging your opponent's trench, hopping into a blaze of gunfire and bayoneting a bunch of enemy troops, or firing your Lewis gun from the hip as angry Germans pour into your trench. Buy this game if you have ANY respect for gaming as a medium, as Verdun is nothing short of art. A 3 man dev team managed to beat out EVERY single triple A multiplayer game, and that is nothing short of legendary. Please, for me, buy Verdun. With that said, I'll see you on the battlefield!    … Expand

    Verdun is amazing. Now, it's not a game for everyone to get into. The game can be really frustrating as many times you will die from something you didn't see.

It takes patience to play, but put enough time in and you will see the gem that this game is. It is a semi-tactical (it is slightly more arcade feeling than games like Red Orchestra) first person shooter based on the infamous battle of Verdun during World War I. As of 6/18/14, the only available Entente country is France (as they fought in Verdun), and the only available Central Powers country is Germany (for the same reason). There are other playable countries on the way. Verdun is currently being developed by three people, three. This means there will not be constant updates and bugs that seem easy to fix will take time, maybe weeks or months. But the developers have seemed loyal to the game and don't seem like they will abandon it. Negatively, there are optimization issues with the game. My PC can run Battlefield 4 on ultra at 60 fps, but this game barely seems to hit that mark. It looks good, but not that good. They have released an optimization patch, and hopefully they will do another in the future as the first was focused on making the game playable for lower end PCs. The game also has a very, very small following. As a completely multiplayer game this is a serious concern. While I have never had an issue finding a full game, it is generally filled with very experienced players, which makes the game very difficult to learn for new players. There is no voice input, which can also hurt new players ability to learn the game, as well as coordinate attacks. But, Verdun is a game that does what it sets out to do: create a World War I shooter that feels genuine. While nothing could ever truly recreate the horror that many men had to experience during the Great War (and we don't want to experience that), Verdun gives its best shot at it and comes dang close, while still making it an enjoyable experience. But Verdun also comes with a warning, do not come looking to dominate the game, do not come to see fancy graphics, come to experience a truly remarkable shooter.… Expand

    Very unique in it's setting and therefore gameplay as a FPS. A mix of a Battlefield Harcore Bolt Action Only Server, infantry ARMA and Red Orchestra. One hit and you are down. The suspense while going over to top or sticking your head out to shoot is amazing.
    Some technical optimization is still to be done.

    - waiting around for the enemy, and then getting shot in the head from somewhere you never saw coming.
    - going "over the top" of the trench on command of your squad leader, and getting mowed down almost instantly.
    - Capturing an area, only to be hammered with chemical gasses
    - putting on your gas mask, obstructing your visibility so you can hardly see where (or who) you are shooting.

    The gameplay is brutal and unforgiving, but hey, this is war! I love how the game doesn't make it "arcady" or easy. This makes it all the more rewarding when you get to kill someone.

I love the fact that instead of having to shoot someone 5 times to kill them, one bullet (maybe two if your lucky) to the chest and you are dead. This can make you rage quit at first, but the ease of getting kills and fast re spawn times very much make up for that. I also do wish there was a better progression system. Overall a fantastic game!… Expand

    Nice trench warfare Generously stuffed with player-made emergent moments on the battlefield and an incredible sense of place, Verdun is not just a great take on one of history’s more marginalized wars, it also happens to be a resoundingly solid shooter in its own right too

    Un muy buen juego de disparos, bastante difícil al inicio pero una vez que aprendes lo básico y tienes algo de habilidad se vuelve muy adictivo, igual me hubiera gustado un poco mas de variedad en los mapas y en las tropas alemanas, pero dado que el juego se basa en el frente franco-alemán se entiende la selección de tropas y escenarios.

    A hardcore game, I shouldn't have bought it even if I got it for around 2 euros especially since it was offered on Epic Games, in short to see if I uninstall it or not ...

    This game just came out of beta early access. I came along with it after playing the released version. Devs are promising more content and they will deliver. These dudes can pull some serious rabbits out of their hats and they will do it if you ask them to. I recommend this game to anyone who is interested in losing their social lives for the next probably one-two years. This game isThis game just came out of beta early access.

I recommend this game to anyone who is interested in losing their social lives for the next probably one-two years. This game is seriously hard for first timers, but the community is very helpful. Money will be well spent on that game. Give it a try. It's by far the best FPS war simulation I have played in the last 10 years. Collapse… Expand

    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.

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

    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.
