Buy Enemy Front

Graphics on this game are quite nice and colorfull with details. But there ends all good things! Just the idea of game makes me cringe. Poland people need one, just one american to save them. No one else is good to this job, it have to be american.

AI is sometimes ridiculous and enemies randomly dissappear while they still shoot you. How fun is that? Every mission is just reaching to end and killing nazis on the way. Dialog is sometimes cheesy and fact that every possible char seems to speak fluent english makes me facepalm....except nazis who seems to missed english lessons when they had change for it. Music is pretty much...nothing to remember.

If you want mindless action game where you dont want to focus on plot (since there is none), then go for this game ONLY when this on sale. I got my game with 2 euro (and even then my friend told me to refund this). This game is not worth full price.

This game looks good so that's a positive, the gameplay is somewhat satisfying but that's all the positive things I could find, The AI is probably the worst I've ever seen and There as many bugs as a pre-Alpha and some of them are game breaking making you have to start the level all over again, the Graphics are very good so that's good but the Lens flare and the Bloom and Instagram filter makes it so god damn hard to see your enemy, it's a cool concept to fight the war from the view of the resistance of France but other then that the story is S***, your friendly AI will act like they are shooting the enemies so you get to kill them all, some of them literally were just pointing their fingers and acting like they have a weapon when they do not, I end up losing my targets withing seconds of seeing them cause of the lens flares EVREYWHERE!, my most frustrating moment was when I was forced to use a sniper, I'm a good shot generally speaking but the scopes in this game are pretty much just a magnifier, there is nothing that tells you where your bullet is going and before you ask there is no bullet drop or drag so it would make sense to have a cross or something like any other games with snipers, Real ww2 snipers did not have scopes that horrible, in general this game is not worth a full playthrough, within the first hour you will have experienced everything the game has to offer and the rest is just repetition of shooting AI's that will just stand there as you shoot at them. I get it, it's not a triple A game but this is not worth being a full released game, it should be on steam early access and 1 thing that might of saved this game would be if the devs actually fixed stuff but no, the game has pretty much no support after lunch, there were a few updates from what I see but doesn't change the fact that the game is barely playable and sometimes not even.

Thanks for reading my review of Enemy Front
Nykolas,

Was looking forward to this! Had potential - screen shots looked great. But then I played :( Optimization is horrible. Every setting on extra high - running in 4k. Got 150 fps - that wasn't/isn't the issue. It's the optimization - there's little flickers sometimes, plain "choppyness" during the game. Shooting enemies is more of a "roudabout" event - there's no "precision" to the targeting and shooting system. Luckily I got the game for $1.99 via a random key and DIDN't Pay the full price! Otherise, I would be getting a refund - (BEFORE I BOUGHT IT!) Too bad this game is horrible.

Super fun game. Nothing like killing people with nut shots.

CI Games - Creators of two typical yet very enjoyable linear FPS games. ALIEN RAGE, and Enemy Front. Alien Rage is a linear shooter taking you down corridors and hallways inside of an alien fuel production facility, the game play is solid the kill point system is good enough and it has merit for a few play throughs.
Enemy Front, the true subject of this review is about the best damn WWII game Ive played. Some people have reported alot of crashes and this game moving slowly. The game for me has crashed about 3 times over the course of 3 play throughs. So I cannot attest to this game being the "worst ever, dont buy this POS! etc etc etc". Enemy Front has some great graphics that puts you into the gritty war torn streets of Poland, and out on the beautiful wheat covered fields of Spain. Enemy Front covers WWII from the view point of the Poland Resistance in Warsaw against the Nazi Regime. This is a very understated part of WWII history and instead of the well over done take on WWII from the stand point of USA, UK, and France alliance.
Aside from the articulate environment is the weapons, they are damn near perfect. The weapons look, feel (scale, load times, mechanical noises), and report just like the WWII models, the level of detail in the weapons enhances the gameplay by offering silenced guns and even the first assault rifle ever mass produced, the MP44 or Sturmgewehr, the report from this gun is awesome while its stopping power can cut through multiple enemies. The focus is primarily Polish, and Germany makes/models but there is a few others namely the Sten and the USA trench shotgun which is a blast - literally.
What I found annoying about Enemy Front is that it comes to a rather quick end, about 8 hours.
Otherwise the sneaking system, and alternate routes provided in the levels make the repeat play through safely different than previous attemps. I enjoyed the hostage system and pestering Nazi guards with inspecting corners and other silly places because of noise distractions (you get the ability to toss stones as a way to sneak around or manuever enemies).
The blood spurting in this game was something akin to japanese samurai slasher films, but the blood is really bright red and had me wondering with all these red barrels, red trucks, red crates, and whole facilities with flashing red lights that I had actually stumbled upon some secret Nazi occult that is addicted to fruit punch. It gushes from their vests, every slow-mo load scene you see Nazi's huddled around trucks and barrels being taken somewhere - their high fructose junkies and they want the rest of the world under their sugar shaking fists! End their transport of these dangerously sweet liquids to the shores of Europa before they infest the rest of the world in a diabetes pandemic - Gawd help us all.
Now back from insanity.... I found the multiplayer dead (as of 08/2016). Nothing, nobody, nada.
Overall, if you like to play the fantastical hero who takes on 100 fruit punch loving Nazi's, doesnt mind a beautifully rendered WWII era backdrop, and plenty of ways to keep the parents, dentists, and organic food loving society saved from rambunctious obese kids and toothless adults - then this game is for you... when it goes on sale of course.
On a more serious note:
While playing the final victory level of the game, your screen will pause and say take one minute to visit. www.itwasntagame.com
This is not spam or fishing, it is probably the most honorable thing Ive seen a game developer do in relating the backdrop of a video game to the reality of war.

At last, a game this year that turns out to be a pleasant surprise. Like many, I had shied away from Enemy Front after reading lukewarm reviews (the same was true of Lords of the Fallen, also a very solid game). But this turned out to be a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Anybody who experience the glory days of Medal of Honor or call of Duty (back when they were WW2 shooters) knows exactly what to expect. Since there aren't really many games in that genre/era being made any more, this one was a welcome addition.
Gameplay felt tight and the graphics are often a real pleasure to behold. At times, the experience felt a little derivative, since this game borrows heavily from others (slow-motion bullet cam, slow-motion door breach, etc.) But this is made up for by other aspects in which the game is quite fresh. For example, the first-person stealth mechanics work really well and make for some tense infiltrations. Thankfully, the game never forces you into stealth, slipping seamlessly back into gung-ho action to the moment you are spotted.

My only slight regret is that the game was over so soon. I certainly feel like I got my money's worth and had a good 6-hour experience, but the Warsaw Uprising and French Resistance movements provide such fertile sources that one could easilly make a compeeling story in a game twice the length.

So far i like it alot. I don't sneak around or anything gay like that just walking into every area and kill everyone. Hard mode seems kinda easy is my only issue.

If, for some reason, you are stupid enough to want to play this game apply the following fixes: no disappearing bodies, skip intro videos and FoV + Framerate fixes. For the love of god do not turn on VSync.

Crysis in WW2 sounds like a great idea and, on paper, this game fits that description: same engine, small but semi-open maps, nice graphics and pseudo-realistic shooting (1-2 shot kills etc). In practice everything about the game is a little 'off'. The shooting is some of the blandest, most repetitive and frankly boring I've ever experienced. The expansive maps are almost empty and anyway of little use because the shooting is idiotically easy and the AI very poor. Something about the controls feels strange too though I can't quite put my finger on it. I suspect it's a poor port but it certainly isn't very polished and both movement and aiming don't quite work. It's almost like playing a game with poor hit detection in ♥♥♥♥ing single player. You even get little parts stolen from other shooters but somehow made worse: breeching rooms in slow motion from the modern CoDs, the bullet cam from Sniper Elite and 'defend this barricade against waves of mooks' from every console shooter in the last decade and a ♥♥♥♥ing half.

Also like Crysis you can choose stealth or run and gun but the stealth is incredibly slow, underpowered and clunky. As someone who loves stealth games and always takes the stealthy option when offered I gave up even trying early on and went for the action route.

Another part of the game that feels slightly wrong is the sound. Voices are too loud or too quiet despite the distance they are away from you, for example, and often firing sounds will be out of sync with the gun. This latter issue is most noticeable when you fire single shots on an SMG. Even the graphics, the high point of the game by far, are not without flaws. A fair bit of the lighting is pre-baked (your character doesn't cast a shadow for example) and it's merely good looking without an art direction. It's neither realistic nor stylised with the high contrast and overuse of visual effects hurting the already sub-par shooting and giving you ♥♥♥♥ing eye cancer for no good reason. Both the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ graphics and sound prevent there from being any atmosphere despite the game laying it on pretty heavily at times.

The story is as cookie-cutter as the shooting which is a shame given the somewhat unique parts of WW2 the game visits. Rarely do we see any significant amount of the French resistance and I struggle to think of another game showing Poland at all, resistance or otherwise. Sadly this is spoiled by the cliché characters and ♥♥♥♥ing standard ♥♥♥-pull reason for your character to be an American instead of a ♥♥♥♥ing native. In European Assault you were from the OSS. In the Saboteur a racecar mechanic. In this a ♥♥♥♥ing journalist. Granted the story does touch upon the anger some members of the resistance feel at being just another scoop but we've played as the Americans in WW2 enough already.

Finally little annoyances like an inconsistent checkpoint system, constant bugs, death by physics prop and even the occasional ♥♥♥♥ing invincible enemy finish off this shitpile of a game. Bodies and dropped weapons disappear almost the moment you turn around too though that can be fixed by tweaking config files. I couldn't even finish the game because three hours in my save wouldn't load (thanks checkpoint system!) and frankly I didn't feel like restarting so I didn't reach Norway but I seriously doubt the game improves. I can't remember where I even got this game but it appears to have come from a bundle or ♥♥♥♥♥♥ key reseller. Frankly it wouldn't be worth playing if it was free.

Great potential let down by some of the worst programming I've seen in a WW2 FPS, add to this the bland story and you've got a game which is just not worth wasting your time on.

My own frustrations with the game are numerous in the short time I've had with it. I've had enemies see me through walls, shoot me through walls, glowing enemies from a lighting bug so you can see them a mile off, bugged textures, dodgy physics interactions, basically more bugs than an ant farm. Factor that in with the terrible AI, which have the awareness of an ostrich with its head in the sand at times after you've been spotted and you'll begin to wonder just what the game developers were doing when they were coding them. Literally killed 2 soldiers, with an unsilenced MP40, whilst they looked at a wooden gate and another soldier, a stones throw away, is deaf to their demise. Also I've had enemies running into cliffs and when I took a hostage the another soldier just stared for five minutes at me as I circled him. It's just a mess.

On a positive note, the art design is fairly good with detailed uniforms and highly modelled guns which have very good animations. The levels are also interesting and expansive, however again they are let down by hamfisted design and poor programming.

Finally the sound is a bit muddy and the lip-sync is bad. Another thing is that when a character is speaking you can walk away from them and still hear them like they are right next to you as if the voice is in your head rather than coming from the AI's body.

All in all, a frustrating game. Not been this disappointed since Hour of Victory.

I miss it when the enemies in our games were mainly nazis, now they're cyborg space terrorists, I miss the simpler times.
