The little review on the game Enlisted by Brouce

Brouce's take on the Enlisted game. You can install the game for free: Enlisted free download

The release of the new Battlefield is fast approaching. Whether a future disappointment or a new banger, DICE's new opus is slowly revealing itself, and will probably be able to reveal the game's trailer at E3 very soon. In the meantime... well, we don't have much to go on.

I'd told you about Foxhole a few weeks earlier, but I must admit that I was in need of a good adrenaline shot and really wanted to do a succession of kills without racking my brains. And like a miracle, I found THE game. And best of all, it's free.

You're watching episode 15 of La P'tite Critique, and today we're talking about Enlisted.

Game Information Enlisted

Published by Genjin, publishers of War Thunder and Crossout among others, Enlisted is a first-person warfare MMO, released on PC but also on PS5 and Xbox Series X. The game takes place during the Second World War, with several famous campaigns from this period, including the Battles of Moscow and the Invasion of Normandy.

There are currently three factions: Russian, American and German. Each faction has its own weapons, battalions and soldiers, making each player unique and allowing for extensive customization, from the choice of assets for each soldier to the composition of weapons, grenades and unit roles.

Enjoyable gameplay

Avec Enlisted, on replonge très facilement dans cette ambiance bordélique et intense, perdu au milieu des explosions, des frappes d’artilleries, d’avion et des grenades, tout ça accentué par des graphismes plaisants et des effets sonores frissonnant. Tout cela se combine à des maps très bien pensées, avec les plages de Normandie par exemple où vous vous battez pour défendre les bunkers et les positions de mitrailleuses côté Allemand, et traverser l’enfer des plages du débarquement côté Américain.

If the game's atmosphere is Battefieldesque, Enlisted can also count on fairly realistic gameplay, making us forget the hitmarkers of traditional war games, to put the spotlight back on the power of firearms such as snipers or bolt-action rifles. Yes, if the enemy's legs don't guarantee an immediate kill, the upper part of the body is deadly, making every Kar or Springfield bullet satisfying.

Cooperation in the midst of battle.

Although Enlisted is designed to be a fast-paced, adrenaline-filled game, it is also a cooperative one, with the possibility of carrying out artillery and mortar strikes via pings on the map, creating anti-aircraft and anti-tank defenses thanks to the engineer soldier, while guaranteeing perfect assault efficiency, with flamethrowers, grenade launchers, snipers, machine guns and more, allowing players to compose units as they see fit by unlocking the necessary points in each of the talent trees, and then deploy them on the field.

As you can see, Enlisted is a very complete game, and we could make an hour-and-a-half-long video to show and develop every element of the game that makes it so unique. But to do so would be to overlook one of the game's biggest problems, and I'll give it to you in three words. PAY. TO. FAST.

A free game but Pay To Fast?

Genjin, the game's publisher, is a specialist in the genre, thanks in particular to War Thunder and Crossout, two big free-to-play games that also require a fair amount of grind to obtain better vehicles. Enlisted is designed from the same angle, requiring the player to grind massively to unlock, faction by faction, the skills and equipment needed to get to the front line.

And of course, this grind can be facilitated by a premium pass and virtual currency, allowing you to increase the xp of your squads and campaign levels, and to purchase special weapons and units. To top it all off, while the game's first two campaigns are free of charge, not all of them are, with the next Berlin campaign priced at a whopping 50e, which will then become free in a few months' time.

I'm not sure about the Pay To Fast aspect of the game. Sure, it's free to play and many weapons can be unlocked for free, but it's a pretty violent grind, and even though it's easy to chain games together, it's easy to see that the game is trying to push you into buying to make the game more enjoyable and to unlock items more quickly. As always, I won't decide on this point, but if you want to debate it, the comment area is open to you.

Conclusion on Enlisted.

Fortunately, the Pay To Fast side does not greatly affect Enlisted, the game having strong enough qualities to override and enjoy bluffing battles, it's a safe bet that, once out of its beta, the game will settle for several years on our home consoles and PCs like War Thunder and Crossout. To conclude, I would say that Enlisted is the perfect game to kill time and satisfy your adrenaline cravings, especially while waiting for the next Battlefield which I am sure will send us back to beautiful theaters of war.

Bonus information:

The Berlin campaign will be free, the 50 euros is access to the closed beta of the campaign plus 2 unique squads.
