Where to begin... how about... BUY THIS ESPECIALLY IF ITS ON SALE!!!
1. Tremendous roleplay capability. You can launch amphibious flanking assaults, sneak through enemy lines, set up on a roof top as a sniper, shut down a route as a machine gunner, or lead an assault as an ociffer.(I've only had three ociffer, drinks!) Essentially, no quick match is the same. The campaign is essentially like Star Wars BF2, a series of "Instant Action" missions in chronological order. HOWEVER! There are some campaign aspects instant action doesn't have. For example, if you murder five graycollars carrying g36s(standard issue assault rifle not hard to do), then pick up said g36s and return all 5 to an armory, you may now purchase the g36 at any armory, AND your friendly AI will randomly spawn with it. This will be so throughout the campaign.

2. Mods. OH MA GOD! SO MANY!! How many of you are warhammer 40k fans? There's a mod for that. Star Wars fan? Like 3 mods for that. Half life fan and wanna see the combine get rekt? Mod for that. Always wanted to be a WW1 British soldier? Like 3 mods for that. WW2? 5+ mods for that. Halo? Mod for that. Mass effect? Mod for that. Ever wanted to face down a horde agro of zombies? 2 mods for that. You name it. They probably have it. Oh, and I think ma boy Bonkaholic is/was working on/has finished a revolutionary war mod. Muskets. Frigging muskets!

3. Easy install of mods. RWR has workshop now, and one of my personal favorites is the Weltkrieg mod by... um. Hell. Is it Rain? Idk. It might be rain, that neqqa will mod anything. However, some of the other very good mods are not on workshop, they are on running with rifles.com, and are very easy to install. Many YouTube videos on it, my fingers are wearing away so I won't type it all. Virtually you just extract the download from rwr.com to the folder Overlays, under media, and there you go. Best part? You can enable and disable every mod in the quick match menu, so you don't have to **** around in the local files every time you want a new mod or want to go back to the vanilla RWR.

4. Multiplayer. I have never joined a server where there arent any players slaughtering AI, or in my case getting slaughtered by Tanks, so it's still pretty popular.
5. There is a tank mod... on RWR.com, that features breasts. Female breasts. On a tank. 10/10 would fap to an MBT again.
6. The ability to fortify. You can make sandbags, place minigun turrets, tow turrets, and mortars, along with new spawn locations and other more boring stuff. Lotta mods out there for that too.
7. Vehicles. Nothing is more satisfying than kicking a tank driver out GTA style and stealing his ride before your AI squamate rips apart the enemy offensive with the main gun.
9. Cheating! Totally possible. If you want, you can give your side 100% accuracy and the enemy like 5 soldiers. You can also cheat like me and give yourself full exp and "money".
10. I skipped number 8.
11. You went back and looked.
12. Did I lie?
13. Yes I did.
14. You went back and rechecked every word.
15. 13 was the lie.
16. You hate me.
17. In all seriousness I seriously recommend this game, especially if its on sale. Totally worth every penny, high replayability. If this review helped you and you decide to get the game, send me an fr, and maybe we can play sometime!

Just to start off and make a quick TL;DR.. This game is ♥♥♥♥ing amazing. It's ArmA but with simple graphics and top-down.

I know I only have five hours in this so far.. which is a single campaign match, basically. This game is surprisingly tactical and realistic, despite the first glance impression I got. I went in, got through a tedious and barely helpful tutorial, then instantly started following the attack markers. I jumped into a trench with my trusty rifle, saw four grenades getting lobbed into the trench.. and died.
I respawn with a shotgun and medicpack, and start running towards the screams of fire and the whizzling bullets. Yet again, grenades and bullets fly all over. A grenade lands right next to me, and I instantly dive into prone, barely avoiding the shrapnel. I crawl towards some of my mates that got hit, and patch one of them up. He thanks me and runs towards the bullets again.. only to get shot in the face by an APC.

This game is so addictive. There's a wide variety of different maps, three different factions, and a bunch of side-objectives, though you barely understand what they mean, for most of the time. You can go all in with the rest of the army, and win through brute force, or take a jeep around to the back of a base, and sabotage them, meaning lower spawn rate and loss of equipment, giving your faction a drastic advantage.
There's a bunch of different vehicles to use, and they're all equally fun. You slowly gain ranks, and with it, more members to your personal squad.
You can call in arty, weapon drops and much more.
Hijack a hostile ammo truck and deliver it to your base, and you'll get even more weapons throughout the rest of the campaign. Weapons are a bit dull at first, but find hidden crates and trucks, and you'll get some exciting things.
Definitely a must-buy for people that enjoy a tactical shooter, despite the camera view, and enjoy killing your friends with jeeps!

Remember, you're a soldier like everyone else. It's okay to cry.

(NOTE: The devs are incredible people at releasing patches, fixing underpowered and overpowered items, and giving out free content for the game. The recently released workshop patch is already working out great. There's multiple overhauls out, making it a zombie survival game, a WW1 game, a WW2 game, a Warhammer 40K game or even Mass Effect. Great devs, great community.)

Truly amazing game, very immersive gameplay. I feel as if time moves slower when playing this game even though the gameplay is fast and fun.

Multiplayer is a bit dead now and there is definately not enough players for PVP anymore but that doesn't matter much because the game is more fun when you and a small group of online players take on Elite difficulty bots in order to claim all of the territories.

So much shooting.
Bombs constantly falling around me.
Enemies trying to flank me.
Car hit me and dragged me for 10 seconds.
Spent 6 hours fighting for a street... So many bodies.
Killed 900+ enemies, earned 2 promotions.

The battle isn't over...

Running With Rifles is a fabulous game and definitely one of a kind. by far the best Birds Eye View, or Top-Down, game I have played. Although half you death will end up faultly being your teammates it's still a whole lot of fun shredding through the opposite army, the game allows you to choose what you want for guns as long as you have the money and that their are mission objectives within mission has if it was a whole Bermuda triangle moment, capture points but also find gun crates for rare gun ect.

This game is so fun! Everything about it is so great and its worth every penny.
Tutorial could be a little better but otherwise its great.
Keep up the good work:)

While I've only put in about an hour and a half of game time, this game is highly entertaining. No mistake, it is difficult, but it really stresses squad based movements rather than a One Man Army winning the war on his own. Have not had a chance to play any MP yet, but if it is this fun in SP, it looks to be pretty awesome with more humans running around being intelligent.

Running With Rifles is a great game, perhaps one of the best RTS games and definitely the best Top-Down Shooter. In this game, there are campaigns. In a Campaign you have a set of area to capture, whether it be a little camp or an entire airbase. Each area has a unique layout, allowing you to use many stratgies to overtake the enemy and capture the area. There is no set layout, you have an option of choosing whatever weapon you want. However, each weapon costs a certain amount and can only be unlocked via rank or by returning Enemy Cargo Trucks/Suitcases. Overall, I recommend this game to people who are interested in Top-Down shooters or Real Time Strategy Games. This game is well worth my money.
