“Great game thus far (three hours in). All about decision making for your squad, with details about your soldiers, complexities in their personalities, and affections and rivalries amongst them all emerging as you go.…”

“Nice and fun compact game , covers a usually forgotten side relating to a subject that's hardly covered in games . Great re-play value”
— a player, Steam review · 21 hrs played“I love this game and highly recommend it to any WW1 buff. I enjoy the stories and gameplay, and think it's really cool that the everyday life of a German soldier is the focal point. One thing that needs to be addressed is the RNG in the trench phase and the officer's frequency…”
