All Quiet in the Trenches

Tried it out for an hour and a half and though the idea is nice and everything the combat is just so underwhelming and frustrating. Despite orders the soldiers are not firing or doing anything most of the time, it all feels heavily scripted and choices have little consequences. And I wanted to enjoy it as I like very much the setting and the systems but I can't care for the soldiers if the climax of the game is just this uneventful slog with no fireshot but a lot of ammunition spent... I might try later in development to come back to it but the devs need to implement "fun" stuff for the player I think. Management of scarce ressources and tough choices are hightened when you get some sort of rewards or bad consequences from time to time and I would enjoy a game between rest at camp and action if... there was a little action.

Very good game

Apart from some repetition, it's actually quite enjoyable, though short.

I enjoyed the game. Took about 10 hours to finish on normal difficulty, although the devs are still developing and haven't reached the end of the war as of yet, so I would assume there's a few more hours to come. Parts of the gameplay, especially outside of battles, become a little bit repetitive after a while - the tasks you receive don't have a huge ton of variety to it, and some mechanics aren't properly explained in my opinion. There is also a small amount of bugs, although I haven't encountered anything game-breaking. Still, I will probably return to the game and play another campaign in a while once the development has reached the end of the war.

Really looking forward to full release. Most of the choices are really impactful and you have to balance the needs of your men against the demands from command or the necessary tasks to keep them fit and healthy. In combat you can decide to either fight in full force or to keep an eye out for wounded soldiers from both sides. While managing all that seems to be easy in the beginning, the game is throwing you into more and more postings with an increasingly exhausted squad. You can feel, without always being told directly, that resources for the German war effort both in supplies and personnel are thinning out over time.
