If you want to experience a war as real as possible, this is your game.
With titles like Call of Duty: Vanguard and Battlefield 2042 on the rise, you might not even know that another war-based first-person shooter has appeared this month. published by Team17 and developed by Black matter, Hell let loose aims to fill a gap for Xbox gamers by delivering an authentic WWII experience, a genre that is often under-represented on consoles.
Posted by Team17, the brains behind games like Overcooked or My Time at Portia, Hell Let Loose is a title set in the Second World War, clear online component, since there is no story mode to use, where you can choose between 14 different roles divided into four different classes, to help you in battle. These are Infantry, Armored, Reconnaissance and Command. These 14 roles within the classes include snipers, tank commander, medic, and riflemen, to name a few. Each role can only have a certain number of people in each game, so you will need to be quick because the roles of sniper and rifleman, for example, they are always selected first. The commander is the most important role on either side
In each role are weapons and equipment that they can be leveled and unlock through the game. There are also different aids that accompany each role, such as vehicle repair kits for engineers and binoculars for observers. This level of variety shows how much teamwork is required to complete the mission. I’ve never played a game where it really felt like the other 49 people on my team played a vital role in winning.
There are currently only two game modes available, but each of them is perfectly suited to the size of the games and cards. You can play Way of war, in which the battlefield is divided into sectors and the victor controls all or at least most of them as time passes. Or you can play Offensive, which is a very similar style of play, but one team controls all sectors at the start and the opposing team tries to capture them all before the time runs out. At the moment there are only two game modes, as both are exciting and tense, but I would be surprised if more were not added in the future, if only for a little more. of variation.
One of the biggest attractions of Hell let loose is the large scale of their maps. It has its good sides and its bad sides. As a positive aspect we find the large number of different areas and sectors that will be on each map, abandoned houses, bunkers, trenches, etc. On the other hand, it’s quite annoying have to walk 10 minutes on the map
Hell Let Loose gameplay is very realistic. If you’re fed up with shooters where it looks like you have to unload an entire magazine to finish someone off, in Hell Let Loose you can get killed by one or two bullets. As real as life itself.
Hell Let Loose, for the most part, works quite well. It’s not a top-notch title, so I wasn’t expecting high-end graphics or player models and photorealistic environments.
Although it seems like a difficult game to tackle, the “Field Manual”, which can be found in the game menu, This will help us understand the game and how all the mechanics work. This Field Manual describes all aspects of Hell Let Loose, from the vehicles you can use and how to drive them, to how to deploy each type of unit, as well as spawn points.
Enter a huge map with 100 players where teamwork is essential and where death lurks around every corner, Hell let loose it’s a pretty interesting game that engages like few others. Aesthetically it could be improved, the frame drops tend to get in the way a lot of times and the large scale of the maps can put some people back. However, this is a great realistic war game which is sure to delight those who want to try it.
