Title: all quiet in the trenches
Post by: Uberhaus on December 08, 2023, 06:21:10 PM
My son is interested in this game and enjoyed the demo. https://store.steampowered.com/app/863500/All_Quiet_in_the_Trenches/
Anyone have any insight on the game or the new publisher, Totally Not Aliens?

This looks interesting. 

Haven't heard of the developers but I have a weird suspicion that they're aliens.

I downloaded it but haven't had a chance to try it yet...admittedly this will probably be a day one purchase for me just because it is First World War themed. I can't help myself.

Have you ever seen this one? Seems somewhat similar, but from the French point of view.  Valiant Hearts: The Great War / Soldats Inconnus : Mémoires de la Grande Guerre  $3.74 right now! https://store.steampowered.com/app/260230/Valiant_Hearts_The_Great_War__Soldats_Inconnus__Mmoires_de_la_Grande_Guerre/

^Yes! That is a great game. I almost finished it but, if I remember correctly, hit a bug that stopped me  :headscratch:

This one has been completely off my radar so far.

But it is getting some good words....

I am not usually into historical RPGs, but this one might change my mind...

But I did like Valiant Hearts: The Great War / Soldats Inconnus : Mémoires de la Grande Guerre..so....

Watching closely...

The description of the game bears a passing resemblance to the main thrust of Burden of Command. The graphics look interesting.

I bought it for my son as one of his Christmas presents and he posted a review on Steam.
QuoteAll Quiet in the Trenches is a well crafted, semi-strategic game that lives up to its name and delivers what the developers promised. The well crafted personal stories of the soldiers you command provides a human connection to the soldiers you command, as you have to often decide between their well being and impressing your superior officer. The gameplay is easy to learn; the attributes of your soldiers make it so that you have to decide who will perform certain tasks, as well as what their combat roles will be. The combat is engaging, the decisions you make often decide whether your soldiers face danger, or if they remain safe, at the cost of letting down your lieutenant. The music is catchy, reminiscent of the score from the 1979 All Quiet on the Western Front film, and the sound design is impressive as well. While the game is short due to early access, All Quiet in the Trenches is a story that leaves you hoping for the survival of the characters', and has the same ideas featured in Erich Maria Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front (1929), despite being an action related game.
