Furthermore, the team is in many ways the HP of the player in order for him/her to stay alive, they must be kept safe from harm. Its firefights are the closest one can get to infantry combat (and at a decent price), with swift death lurking in every corner, since it only takes two bullets, tops, to go down. In the wake of Insurgency‘s success in reaching over 3 million players, New World plans to continue creating compelling, disruptive new experiences with Day of Infamy and Insurgency: Sandstorm.Insurgency's main charm comes from the fact that it hits gamers with a nice dose of the cold reality of war. This foundation shaped itself into a unique development process which has led to the creation of New World’s debut title, Insurgency. Many of the core team members started as hobbyists creating the games they wanted to play. New World is an independent developer and publisher with deeply grounded roots in game development. Note: make sure you have a decent cpu, graphics card and memory or you may need to knock down the some graphic settings. Needless to say, they got me before I got them, next time! There is little doubt for me this is one of the best games I have played, the gameplay is good but the audio and atmospherics really make this game, I still have the jitters after going house to house trying to clear out some Germans. The graphics throughout a lavish and perfect for the time period combined with some brilliant sound effects that include audible comments like “take that you wanker” iconic don’t you think, just adding to the overall atmosphere of the game I should mention there is a lot more to this game than just bang bang, tactics also play a large part with no mini maps or radar to see where the enemy is having a good radio office by your officers side is a must to quickly calling up some artillery of air support both of which done at the right time can have a devastating effect.Īs with all these types of games you get to choose your role be it an officer or a sniper all come with their own allotted equipment and just to mention watching a flame thrower incinerate everything in its wake is devastating so taking one of them out with my sniper rifle is always a pleasure, of course you also get to choose from an array of scenarios Bastogne, Crete, Reichwald and many more each with their own game tactics.
The game itself is set during World War 2 and covers everything from beach warfare to the daunting task of street battles and all in all is a hell of a lot of fun, one aspect that really stands out is the in game tension you can’t help feeling somewhat scared when you suddenly find yourself alone and every sound has you pulling that trigger and let me tell you there is nothing worse than being caught in artillery fire or a bombing run no amount of praying is going to help you, I can’t count the amount of times I lay still barring breathing hoping somehow not to get hit only to find myself being blown to smithereens, absolutely amazing how they have somehow added a fear factor in. For anyone who has played Day of Defeat or Red Orchestra 2 then Day of Infamy is going to feel pretty familiar.
