    Rebellion serves up another enjoyably pulpy shooter, though Strange Brigade struggles to stand out.

The presentation side of the game gets a lot of things right and both the visuals and sound design make the gameplay a very immersive experience. I thoroughly enjoyed the gameplay because there are quite a few different elements in play at the same time and these elements combine together flawlessly. There are lots of weapons and lots of enemies you can use these weapons on and I’m pleased to say that defeating these enemies never got boring. The puzzles that are present in the game are pretty creative and they do a good job of breaking up the usual gameplay. Sometimes the shooting mechanics in the game didn’t feel as smooth and responsive as they should have been. It can be a little repetetive when played on your own so I do recommend that you play the game with others. Does Strange Brigade do enough to get a recommendation from me? All in all I’ve been following Strange Brigade’s development quite closely over the last few month’s because from the moment I first saw it I was intrigued by its uniqueness and it looked like a game that was right up my alley. Thankfully after sinking a number of hours into the game it’s quite clear that Strange Brigade has had a lot of love and effort placed into it and when the game gets into full flow you end up having a fantastic experience. There just seems to be always something that’s going on in this game and every little intricate part plays a vital role in the overall setup, which in the end means you very rarely get bored with this game especially when played with other people. It can be a little repetetive when played on your own and you do notice a few issues with the shooting mechanics when played this way, but this really is the only problems the game has and when it’s all said and done Strange Brigade gets a massive thumbs up from me because it really is very good.… Full Review »

    Le développeur Rebellion a développé vite fait ce "Strange Brigade" à partir de son "Zombi Army Trilogy" : un copié-collé sous une nouvelleLe développeur Rebellion a développé vite fait ce "Strange Brigade" à partir de son "Zombi Army Trilogy" : un copié-collé sous une nouvelle présentation (égyptienne) avec des momies furieuses en lieu et place des zombis.

    Comme dans le Zombi AT, le jeu vise clairement la coopération multi-joueurs, même s'il inclut une campagne en solo avec un seul personnage... mais qu'on soit seul ou à plusieurs, on retrouve le même côté répétitif et bourrin, bourrin et répétitif... c'est toujours la même chose et ça devient très vite très chiant.

    Pire, la voix off du "narrateur" assez horripilante donne un autre côté hystéro-bouffon à l'ensemble dont on se serait bien passé, sous couvert d'un humour (?) des plus douteux pour ne pas dire très bête. Le jeu reste assez joli et tout-à-fait jouable, car étroitement dérivé de ZAT, lui-même dérivé des Sniper Elite 3 et 4... mais sans l'infiltration évidemment ! Quand on vous parle de recyclage, ce n'est pas qu'une simple vue de l'esprit ici...

    C'est pour ça que j'irai quand même jusqu'à 2, pour l'effort. Un effort bien paresseux et bâclé, indéniablement.    … Full Review »

    graphically above par. For me just like the excellent sniper elite 3 and 4, this game is enjoyable and looks excellent value for money, IMO.
    It wont suit all type of players but so far very positive and different. In this age of cloned games, I look for games with a difference. This is such a game. If its anywhere like the snipe series this will be tremendous fun and long game.    … Full Review »
