About This Game

Dirty Bomb takes first person shooters back to their purest roots in a fast-paced team game that will challenge even the most competent players. This game won’t hold your hand, in fact it is more likely to kick your teeth in. With no controller support or aim assist, all that lies between you and certain death is player skill and reaction. Work together or die alone in the most challenging team-based FPS.

A string of 'dirty bomb' attacks cripple London, leaving the Central Disaster Authority to restore it. When criminal syndicate Jackal begin disrupting and stealing their technology, the capital is thrown into chaos as mercenaries from across the globe are hired by both sides.

That's where you come in. After all, what’s a little radiation sickness when there’s money to be made?

Features:

  • Fast-paced, highly competitive teamplay that takes the shooter back to its purest roots
  • 19 distinct Mercenaries (and growing), each bursting with their own abilities, attributes and expletives
  • Three game-modes:
    • Objective – Battle through parts of the city, completing objectives to reach the finale before time runs out
    • Stopwatch – Objective mode for competitive types, where teams swap sides mid-match to see who's faster
    • Execution - Blow up part of the Containment Shield or take out the other team to win in this round-based search and destroy mode
  • A Free-to-Win progression system, where skill beats money every time. Take down your rich friends and watch 'em weep

this is an excellent game, i have thouroughly enjoyed playing it, however the developers are currently not listening to the players. There are some extremely game breaking glitches and exploits, however they are barely experienced as are hackers.

If you can't afford Overwatch and you're VAC'd from TF2,
then Dirty Bomb is the one to choose!

Really fun and refreshing fps; majority of the characters are balanced and the different abilities set the game apart from other class based shooters. The game is not p2w at all, after bronze rarity all the cards just have AESTHETIC changes.

A few tips:
Dont waste your credits on cases; instead spend it on bronze loadout cards in the store or unlocking mercs.
The default music is decent but if you disable music and play edm it's a lot better imo.
Don't buy vassili as your first paid for merc, he's only really useful on certain maps and takes really good reflexes.
If you want lots of xp play assualt medic as Aura or do secondary objectives.

Try the game out :D

Overall it's a pretty good game, especially for a free-to-play title but right now there is absolutely no balance in pub games, 95% of the time one team stumps the other. DB can be very fun when both teams are roughly equal but at least until Casual Matchmaking comes out balanced games are too rare of an occasion to endure through all the boring matches. Just my 2 cents.

Honestly, after spending so much time and money on dirty bomb I can honestly say this game is straight up bad at this point, there has been too few good things to happen in the last year for me to play this anymore. The devs are incapable of doing anything reasonable or working with an eager community, there are many players such as myself at a time who wanted to do a lot more in dirty bomb competitively than some awful matchmaking button allowed, but there just wasn't anything.

You don't get enough for what you do, If you'll look at some of my screenshots for this game I have in some of them over 100 kills and 40k score in under 30 minutes of playtime, and I still don't get anything extreme when the average player gets anywhere from 20-40 kills and 8k Score in that same time.

Here are some things the devs could do in my opinion that would significantly boost this game and it's potential in the future.

1< Ask the community on reddit what they want, and make changes based on that, if they're obviously not working, it isn't like you cant revert them in a hotfix.

2< Reward almost triple or quadruple the currency you are awarding right now, if I'm going to pay for double credits it should actually be significant to the amount I would recieve without paying and not turn 300 into 600.

3< Make forging new cards out of old cards cost no credits, and make all case types buyable with credits.

4< Take away the merc purchase costs. Its either I play for 6 months or pay 100+ dollars to play the full game? like what the hell? nobody wants or likes this in the game, let people find what they're comfortable with off the bat, it's losing potential players.

5< Develop an actual anticheat or somehow endorse VAC.

And for anyone taking a specific interest, you need to pay for a -lot- of the fun in this game.

[ P.S, Impossible to master is said in the intro, and I'm quite sure PROW.Hothead on nader and Sagan.on.roids on Aura invalidate these statements :^)]

Dear beloved developer,

I really wish I could enjoy this game. I do.

All the fun times grinding the exp and points. Oh, the lovely character that I collected...

but.. again, dear developer, I think this is the time we both take separate ways and continue with our lives.

The game is not playable at all currently due to 50% of the games I joined are swarmed with hackers, aim-boters, and of course.. those hackers spawn camp. I remembered the days when it wasn't always like this.

I really wish I can still play this game, I do. And it's just sad that it has to come up this way. It almost feels like the hackers are free roaming and you, dear developer, won't do much about it.

Farewell, and good luck for your next game!

I personally would consider this one of the best free to play games on steam. I have played this game quite a bit and I tried to get my friends to play with me, but they said they hated this game. So, with that said, I would not say this game is for everyone, but a certain crowd could find this game amusing.

I would highly recommend this Cs:go, Call of duty, BAtlle field and overwatch on a budget game. Pretty funny and I like the players who paly the game, it's a frendly society here and the procuders did a great job making the game kudos to them. And despite lack of maps and no one ranking you can play this game all day and still enjoy it.
