Review V1CGaming 1/5 · Sep 5, 2021

It's off-putting..

The nitty gritty rawness of Verdun keeps it from being a wholly enjoyable game. The mechanics are clunky with many game/match-breaking glitches and overall, I felt that it lacking something. The style/gimmick of WW1, though refreshing only goes so far when the dwindling number of players and the awkward game mechanics get in the way.

Review anarchistica 3/5 · Jul 25, 2021

Verdun is Dutch for dilute

Intro

Verdun is a fairly realistic FPS in which you will usually fight in the trenches in 64-player battles.

The Good

  • Comes across as extremely authentic in terms of setting.
  • Smoke, gas and artillery aren't utterly obnoxious (looking at you, Day of Infamy).
  • Hitting people is hard.
  • Quick respawn.
  • Squad respawn.

The Bad

  • Very little difference between weapons.
  • No vehicles …

  • Smoke, gas and artillery aren't utterly obnoxious (looking at you, Day of Infamy).
  • Hitting people is hard.
  • Quick respawn.
  • Squad respawn.

The Bad

  • Very little difference between weapons.
  • No vehicles or weapon emplacements.
  • At least one sub-class has no gun, just a shovel and three grenades. What?
  • All the battlefields look the same even after just 2 hours.
  • Seemingly weak player base of only a little over 2000.

Conclusion

Verdun seems to be a game for WW1 enthousiasts. If you just want a multiplayer FPS you'll probably prefer something with more variation like Battlefield. Verdun is very realistic but also very basic.

5/10
