“I left my trench and died, realistic WW1 experience. 100% recommend!”
“I find it strange that each game is stand alone. It makes sense. This is 10 years old. It's still fun. It's quite empty and the bots fill the game. Well there was one game that had 40 odd people. Glad I bought it years…”
“The whole series is excellent”

“It is very tough, and you will die a lot. But after all, it is world war 1, and that wasn't uncommon. It is very fun for all that.”
“Landscape feels very accurate, beautifully rendered. First person action is realistically hard but addictive.”

“beautiful game”
“Landscape feels very accurate, beautifully rendered. First person action is realistically hard but addictive.”
“Good game, as a history buff the different units and uniforms plus the locales make the game more enjoyable to me. I would recommend this game to others”

“It a good game, a bit clunky, but worth buying on discount, better games similar to this would be Battlefield 1 and enlisted, and any of the hell let loose type games, the game is still good for the price.”
“great game, still active in the big 26, grenades will destroy you though but it is definitely worth the price”
“fun game slightly intense but fun enough to buy. i got it on sale but i would buy it for 20$”

“Verdun is the closest I've felt to genuine WWI trench warfare in a video game — the atmosphere, weapon sounds, and squad-based Frontlines mode create tension that most shooters can't touch. Every time I heard that…”
“outstanding military strategy pvp”

“The devs kinda just killed their own games with what I assume to be either greed or incompetence. WW1 is unfortunately a very niche war to make a fps for. And they did it not once or twice but three times. They divided…”
“They should have made Tannenberg and Isonzo part of this game. Everyone plays Isonzo now so this game is dead.”

“no doubt it was a good game but its only multiplayer and no one actually plays the game. you just havebots. if it had a campaign it would be good but no acutaly reason to buy this game in 2026”

“Verdun is a good option for patient players who expect more authentic gameplay rather than just fast-paced action from shooters. The First World War period isn't often explored by video game devs, and shooter designers especially avoid it. This is what makes Verdun stand out.…”

The gameplay really shines when you’re working with a coordinated squad, especially with…”
