The Great War: Western Front™ Reviews

I really love this game as someone who is very nerdy about the First World War this game is great its like total war but in the trenches with mustard gas and with disgustingly high Causalities rates.My only problem I have with this game is that it feels like the developers abandoned it to quickly I feel if they had kept working on adding more stuff this game could rival Total War. Like They kinda limited themselves with just calling it Great War the Western Front but they could have countered that by releasing dlcs like the dlcs could be like other fronts such as Italy,eastern front, Baltic's, Galipoli, middle east, Africa, etc... and that would honestly be great I would spend a decent amount of money if they made those dlcs.

The game is a glitchy mess couldn't complete the tutorial as either the steps wouldnt complete or select what the game was telling me what to do i would avoid this game at all costs

nah, the game is boring and very monotonous. interesting for a few hours, but then you realize that the game has only 3-4 different maps in a tactical battle, on each of which the AI ​​builds the same line of defense, and now the most delicious thing - each region needs to be cleared several times for complete capture. imagine my face when I hammered a region five times to see exactly the same map in a battle for a neighboring region

WHOA THIS GAME CAME OUT AS A SURPRISE ! The game is basically a grand strategy game with RTS element. There is a really nice tech tree ! The attack mission are really tactical and defence mission feels like a tower defence where the enemy trow units after units

It's alright for what it is, such a shame they didn't keep updating it as it could have been something really special.

Good game, love it. BUT IMAGINE if you mixed the turn based based strategy and economy+unlocks part and the vehicles and weaponry featured here, with Company of Heroes... Just saying.. It would be the RTS to end all the RTSs.

The only two good things about this game is visuals and audio. The GamePlay is very repetitive. It's also very hard to learn a lot of information when you first start. After 2 hours, you'll probably realize that the best stuff in this game is literally artillery, no duh. and MG emplacements. MG pillboxes don't even bother trying to destroy them. The only good way to destroy the pillbox bunker is using the big bombardment weapons. You could literally surround a pillbox bunker with, like a ton of soldiers and it would kill everyone you have. IDK if they were trying to be realistic, but I'm pretty sure it's more realistic. For these bunkers to have a entrance for you to storm. Not be invincible unless you use a big freaking boom which you don't get many It's sad that this game has been abandoned. I feel like most of the problems in this game could be fixed and this game could be literally awesome.

Love the Great War setting and if you have a Great War setting itch I highly encourage you to check this out but I would wait to when the game goes on sale I personally bought it at 7$

bought the game a long time ago i actually pre ordered it and it just died within 2 months of launching so much potential wasted

The game mechanics in of it self are pretty interesting. The campaign is decently well done, and provides some overview of playing. However, there are some big downsides to the game as well. Downsides - Game gets extremely repetitive, The game cycles though the same 7-8 of the same maps with very little varriation other than where tree placement is. - The Custom made scenarios need more player testing. Some scenarios just break if you do the objectives before it prompts you. The biggest problem is when I ran ahead of the objectives to the point in the triangle map I had cornered the AI into the corner, and I moved up my troops at a backline point that I was "to hold" and it instant failed me after moving them out. - No active multiplayer, the lobby and server system sucks. - You do the exact same strategy with very little varriants. If your not playing meta, your ham stringing yourself. - The AI is dumb, they spawn in troops from a point that you got 20 troops outside of just to laser them down. - Higher difficulty = AI cheats more resources, not actually a good ai. - Ai doesn't know how to attack very well, there has only been a single time where I had a minor lose and that is because it was 1 division vs 12. By all accounts, the AI should have just been able to bombardment to death and win, but didin't. Upsides - Fun campaign map - Core gameplay is fun - A good game for 40-50 hours beyond that it gets stale. Overall, if its on sale for like 10$ its worth the buy, but beyond that it isn't worth it.
