It's easy to get into, hard to master and VERY, VERY fun. If you buy ANY multiplayer game this year, buy Verdun. 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 an enemy Officer gets into your trench, his entire squad can spawn on him should they fall in battle. But, you MUST stop the enemy from getting to your trench. 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. As a defender, it's your job to shut these attackers down. While charging, you actually feel the desperation and will to survive that would've run through a soldier back at the time. 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. You and your squad must take turns defending your trench from waves of opponents, and then charging their trench to take it over. Oddly enough, the battle of Verdun isn't in Verdun. You take control of a random bloke in the middle of famous WWI battlefields. Gameplay: Verdun is a squad-based trench warfare PTSD em-up. rifles will rip through opponents and almost always kill them in one hit). 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. Fun gunplay, beautiful maps and a very replayable gameplay style. Verdun is a shining example of a realistic, team-based shooter done RIGHT.

Not a single crash, noticeable framerate drop or other error. 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. There are reviews complaining about 'Technical issues', but I have never once had a technical issue in My favorite shooter of 2014/2015. 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. It has a steep learning curve- thats for sure. 36 can seem like a hundred as waves are moved down or defenses overrun. You respawn continuously in 'waves' to continue the assault or bolster the defense. The community, overall, is very supportive and helpful. The Devs actually play the game and are very responsive to questions on the steam forum. Without a doubt one of my all time favorite games. Its the 'Spirit of the Bayonet ' You either get it or you dont. Grenades, mortars artillery, machine guns trench clubs and posion gas. It has some intense action followed by moments of sheer mayhem. This game isnt for the faint of heart gamer or 'get rekt' CoD crowd. If you are afraid of your pixels dying this isnt for you. When you think you cant be killed ad again. It's not life in the trenches, its death.
