Over The Top: WWI

“Great chaotic fun, optimization is impressive with zero stutters even in the most chaotic moments.”

“The developers are quick with their performance patches and have so far delivered on their promised content (weapons/gunplay!).”

“The game boasts an impressive level of visual fidelity and performance, with crisp textures, lively animations (and even emotes), a surprisingly nice array of color for a WW1 game, lush vegetation, and excellent dynamic terrain deformation from trenching and explosives.”

“It's very loud, chaotic, and funny; imagine digging a trench in the middle of a mortar barrage with all of your friends turning into gibs and screaming in French while you hear a German tank rolling up playing the Freebird solo in proximity chat.”

“You get a lot of hilarious situations with people shouting, joking, panicking, and charging straight into absolute madness.”

“The massive servers are packed with mic spammers, role-playing soldiers, and players fully committed to the bit, which somehow makes every match feel like a hilarious battlefield improv show.”

“The atmosphere: the devs somehow balanced "gritty war aesthetic" with "action movie physics." One minute you’re charging through a beautiful, atmospheric field, and the next, a stray artillery shell sends your teammate into low earth orbit.”

“The art style and gameplay remind me of Men of War, but from a strictly third-person / first-person shooter perspective.”

“The gritty realistic art style suits the time period and adds to the trench warfare immersion.”

“Game is great, something that most people wanted for a long time: violence, battle cry, pure 100vs100 chaos. What most people don't understand is that this is not BF1 or COD and it's not trying to be. It's not the type of game where people will be buying Razer and similar equipment trying to be pros. This is pure fun, chaos, and proximity shouting. The game runs great, servers work great with 200 people, no issues so far. The game has great potential and the devs are actually great and need to keep it up like this. I give a big plus, best 16 euros spent in a long time!”

“Runs great on my older system too, I would give this game a 9/10.”

“+ It runs fine, it's not very buggy and it's definitely worth more than they are asking for.”

“This game is simple enough that you don't need to spend a lot of time grinding to unlock things and there aren't any microtransactions.”

“Nothing else like it if you do not like dying to grenades that you did not see get thrown then you will not be a fan of this but if you're a fan of genuine dynamic gameplay and no microtransactions at all this game truly a unique beauty if a little bit rough around the edges.”

“No modern audience BS or microtransactions and battlepasses coming out your rear.”

“Featuring a brilliantly cool concept, Over the Top: WWI delivers a wonderfully gritty and immersive historical atmosphere highlighted by its highly satisfying trench-digging mechanics.”

“The devs somehow balanced 'gritty war aesthetic' with 'action movie physics.' One minute you’re charging through a beautiful, atmospheric field, and the next, a stray artillery shell sends your teammate into low earth orbit.”

“The firefights are intense and the atmosphere captures the chaos of WWI really well.”

“Whether it’s people actually trying to coordinate a bayonet charge or someone blasting period-accurate music over local comms, the vibes are top tier.”

“Side bar - audio options let you change your music settings to original WWI era songs, and it's truly delightful.”

“Even the Brits get bagpipes to play music, and there are plenty of other stationary instruments that let you play them too.”

“Memorable, human-scale storytelling moments”

“Unlike many modern war games that focus on cinematic storytelling or highly scripted campaigns, this title emphasizes large-scale multiplayer battles where hundreds of players clash across dynamic front lines.”

“Every match turns into its own chaotic story, and the gameplay just keeps you experimenting and coming back for more.”

“Playing in 200 player lobbies on huge maps that can be terraformed by players is a fun mechanic that adds a lot of replayability.”

“They managed to make WW1 gameplay fun, immersive, and replayable in ways games like Verdun or Over the Wire couldn't achieve.”

“As simple as it sounds, a somewhat arcade shooter where players dig their own trenches which stay between matches opens the door to a ton of replayability and depth, as what's best to do in defense and attack varies so much from scenario to scenario based on what each team is doing.”

“Progression in the game is quick, no grinding for days for 6 unlocks that clearly are the best options for the gun.”

“Not grinding, just having fun.”

“This duality creates a fascinating paradox that invites players to explore the depths of their emotional landscape while navigating complex narratives and gameplay mechanics.”

“As players progress through these intense experiences, they often find themselves emotionally invested, bringing a sense of weight and significance to their journey.”

“This dual experience not only enhances the overall entertainment value but also invites players to confront their emotional depths in a safe and engaging environment.”
