“Fun, addictive gameplay that I keep on visiting time and time again.”
“The gameplay is simply unreal with aiming being so intuitive and smooth.”

The reviews reflect a mixed reception regarding the story aspect of the game. While some players appreciate the depth and emotional impact of the narrative, describing it as immersive and well-crafted, others criticize the lack of a substantial story, labeling missions as repetitive and tedious. Overall, the game seems to excel in gameplay mechanics and combat, with the story being either a highlight for some or a minimal element for others.
“In an era where FPS games have become more and more linear, repetitive, and stale, Rebel Forces has really piqued my appetite for the genre once more. It is a masterful composition of tactical suspense and tight, hectic firefights blended with masterful level and mission design, allowing for the player to approach objectives in a plethora of ways, not to mention its phenomenal multiplayer, all topped off with a fantastic dark, gritty narrative that truly emphasizes the vile nature of war, and was written with immense love and care for its amazing yet dwindling fanbase.”
“Amazing game, beautiful story had me in tears. The story is so deep, enriching, and impactful.”
“With the authentic Bethesda-quality graphics and a deep, compelling story, this game is very hard to pass. I found myself investing hours into the story of this game, and the community is quite helpful and kind to new players.”
“The campaign is just the same 3 missions repeated endlessly.”
“This is a cool game but doesn't really have much of a storyline to it; you just do missions, get coins or money, and easily get all of the items and achievements.”
“-solo/campaign: no story and repetitive missions with easy AI.”

“The gunplay and strategy required to dominate your opponents create an engaging atmosphere that keeps you invested in the experience.”

“While the game attempts to simulate the chaos of war, it ultimately falls flat, leaving players feeling disconnected from the action.”
