The Verdun case is somehow important, especially for Xbox One users. At the beginning of March 2017 we reviewed the way this article encountered moderate success on Steam in the Microsoft console … with disastrous results. How to read in between this linkVerdun was a bunch of technical flaws, however, out of all that, there was a multiplayer game that used unprecedented canals, extremely complex jewelry or as we mentioned in the review: «Verdun has a hidden light that can be made to produce a large technology pole«.
Well, maybe we arrived at that day when Verdun started to blossom, and we have been able to witness all the changes, which begin to make us understand why About 1.5 million players bought Verdun from Steam. Of course, the studio members themselves call it a surprise, because this update, once again, is completely free, changing the whole game. Not the system itself, which undergoes major, if not technological, development, which is now very robust.
These are the most important changes:
- New look – Everything from the user interface to the character rating has been redesigned. They have added a new gore system, improved teaching system and better controls.
- New content – Map of St. Mihiel is a new battleground full of firearms and new police (Senegalese archers and ANZACS) that bring in new weapons such as the dreaded machete and Webley-Fosbery's automatic automatic.
- Sound stimulation – Many of the sounds have been reproduced with the recording of authentic World War I weapons and new sounds that expand the atmosphere of the real war.
- AI of allies and enemies – 24 bots can join battles in War Fronts mode and help fill servers online. You can also prepare your own offline battles so that bots can use the rotation of your choice.
Verdun, a bloody World War I
As we mentioned, since last December 6, Verdun has completely recalled and as a result, we have been able to take many hours to share our ideas with you. Finally, the technical category is not a problem that encompasses the experience M2H & BlackMill Games have planned for the Xbox One. You'll have to try a few minutes in War Front mode (Frontlines) to stay for hours.
In terms of technology now Verdun is finally looking its best, with a very high definition, which allows targeting enemies from afar, the most important thing to be shot in the near future. It is true that the weapons sound more powerful, the explosion makes sense and we just run away from the canal to hear the bomb fall inside! The fact is that the actual experience it offers is quite addictive, even though it's a slow-paced game with a tank-like character in its handling.
However, that treat is what gives you the theme of life, because exactly when you get one shot, you're dead. And rifles tend to be bolt type guns, something that is common in World War I (which is certainly a far cry from Battlefield 1's robustness with many automatic weapons). And of course, we won't have any glass to see, we should aim to point the weapon and not move the hair so that the bullet goes where we want. It is very easy to miss, and it is very common that when you have an enemy in front of you do not give yourself time to repeat.
Multiplayer action in the canals
If we were to describe Verdun in a sort of skepticism it would undoubtedly be the "multiplayer action in the trenches." There are no buildings, no mountains, nothing, because the bombs have destroyed everything. These were reminiscent of a real war in 1914 and your best placement was a hole full of mud and a good hat. Everything exposed is almost certain to die, so you'll need to regroup your team and make a pineapple attack earlier in the same area. It will cost you, but once we get into enemy lines, close combat and communication will become more common.
We can't fail to say that the feeling of handling the character and the target is very heavy, especially in the first minutes you won't even know where the characters are getting to you, but once you touch it, you begin to understand why you print less speed at players, which can be very damaging to gameplay. In short, you won't be able to stop a good striker from getting the right position to cut your team, but when a typical "playboy" enters like an elephant in a pot store hopes his priceless profits are more than relaxing.
Of course, this War Fronts approach is the most recommended, because among others, from the menu when the spirit is inspired by the true war: we can join the game from the already made we can see the decline, we can join directly to the server we want to choose and where we choose, we can even see on the map itself boards and flats offensive, a very interesting idea that currently on the Xbox One more players are needed, especially since it cost us to see in European servers a full game with 32 players, maximum allowed.
The player levels system, squads, has points for unlocking available weapons and the opportunity to ask if you are a team leader if you are not contacted (each member will have a different configuration) to be able to issue attack orders, book art or cover poison gas lines. The fact is that Verdun has everything covered and the hours spent on it coincide with the emergence of your status and that we ignore it and that it has only offline mode for your gaming against AI bots or everything against them, which is a real madness recommended for small celebrations.
Verdun, a hidden gem in a Microsoft store
We were very excited to see how the game received such attention and care after 2 years of being introduced so badly on the Xbox One. It's not just about bringing more content or improving on its programs, what a high-tech game looks like in retrospect. As I mentioned earlier, you'll have to shop around for our original review and see screenshots compared to these, too, made with the Xbox One X, where the game benefits from increased resolution to better see enemies from afar.
Verdun is not military 1 and is not intended to be. And the multiplayer panacea doesn't. But when it raises the first article, with more freedom than usual and above all, that's true. Something is left over on the PC, but the console is very rare to see. Aside from its unusual images or the simplicity of its proposal, it's hiding the sheer power of beauty if you love the theme. We, of course, this second round with a mega-update, loved it.
