![]() These gents are the ones that made Verdun (also on console and pc) and with both games they painstakingly made sure every rifle, grenade, bayonet, shovel, uniforms etc are authentic to the time, country and squad that used it. What this small group has done is make an insanely authentic WW1 game that offers a very different experience than other shooters with just enough pieces from other games that you will be able to pick it up and know "how to play" despite the multiple layers of meta under the hood you may or may not discover later (psst, you should!). This is an ultra realistic and unforgiving WW1 tactical FPS shooter made by an indie staff of roughly 10 people. It is not a "Triple A", latest graphics, big bang boom shoot em up where you can take a series of bullets, spin around and bunny hop to no scope kill the guy who tactically saw you first. It is not a "Triple A", latest graphics, big bang boom shoot em up where you can take a series of Ill start by saying what Tannenberg is not. No, you're slower, have to take your time, will pretty much always die when you are shot once, and will have to manage all of this while navigating the steep rocky mountains of the Italian wilderness.Ill start by saying what Tannenberg is not. What I mean is that you won't be getting annihilated by some untouchable ace pilot in a plane miles above the battlefield, and likewise, won't be sprinting around like some jacked-up super soldier that never feels the tiring embrace of lactic acid pouring through their veins. ![]() ![]() The main difference between this title and the likes of a Call of Duty or Battlefield game is that Isonzo has a strong focal point on infantry warfare and also prides itself on its realism.

I don't feel like I really need to dive into the finer details of what makes a multiplayer shooter game tick to explain how Isonzo operates, because quite frankly it's very similar across these fronts. Jump to the present and the third instalment into the series has arrived and with it brought a game tailored to the Italian Front of the Great War. 2015's Verdun explored the Western Front and was named after the Battle of Verdun in 1916, and then in 2019, Tannenberg arrived and focused on the Eastern Front, specifically the titular battle that took place in 1914. ![]() The point is, the First and Second World War have been glorified in game format countless times before, and making something that really stands out in this scene is a challenge.īlackmill Games has been embracing that challenge over the past few years however, by creating a series of WW1 shooters based on specific parts of the global conflict. Then, there's also a host of other games that, while less well-known, fit the bill, including the likes of Enlisted, Hell Let Loose, and even more narrative heavy adventures like Sniper Elite. ![]() Call of Duty has been there (as recently as with Vanguard and Warzone Caldera) and Battlefield has done so as well, with Battlefield 1 and Battlefield V as of late.
