I have to say, I was very eagerly awaiting this game as the information I saw looked awesome.
I will give it this, the concept is very cool, I mean who doesnt wanna fight through the civil war or world war 1?
If this is a small company that made this, then its rather impressive, but being used to the huge budget triple A titles from Valve and the like, this just didnt quite feel like it could hold its own.
The controls felt odd, mouse movement was not always smooth and sometimes seemed a bit jerky. Walking around and running/sprinting didnt quite feel right either.
If we are looking at it this way, some of the animations werent all that great, but for the most part were fine. Voice acting and the like was alright, nothing amazing, but not bad. The weapons were decent and were overall fun to use (although hampered a bit by aiming because of the odd feel of mouse movement) and the reload system was a little odd (different than I am used to)
The graphics as a whole were pretty good, again not amazing, but definitely not bad by any stretch of the imagination.
This is what I think really got to me, immersion. It just didnt quite feel completely immersive. In a game like this, I would really want to feel like I am actually there and actually taking part. It just didnt give me that feeling, whether it was the graphics/animations not being all that amazing, or the sounds not quite being all that amazing or something else, it was just a little hard to feel like I was really there fighting in those environments.
So I think when it came down to it, it just didnt quite feel right, the fact that it seemed a little forced and unnatural to be in those locations combined with controls that did not feel right, I just found myself a little let down by a premise that could have been amazing, but was just executed in what felt like a standard potentially somewhat mundane way.
Again, I still really like the concept, but if the demo was anything for me to base what the final game will be like, I just dont see myself buying this one.
