CONSCRIPT

For anyone that grew up on the original RE games, this will almost feel right at home. I do like the premise as just some average joe in the trenches, and the game is grounded to the point where you just have to survive a German attack on your trenchline while finding your brother. The atmosphere is great, and I think the is a must play if you like the more old school survival horror games. My only real complaint is that the game can be too true to the oringal style of surival horror games (minus the tank controls). The combat feels quite stiff and at times I feel like I take unecessary hits, and some of the enemies do feel spongey at times. However, this personally does not really hurt the game for me. I will say if you never played or appreciate the old school style of gameplay, it can be frustrating at times but the game does give you an option to make it a little more forgiving, mainly by giving checkpoints and unlimited manual saves at the cost of hurting your final score if you care about that kind of stuff.

The tension is always high as you play this game which is what you would want in a survival horror.

GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A great idea for a game spoilt by a terrible combat system (identical to the system used in Darkwood, for anyone who has played that game). Navigating is a nightmare (basically, you are in a massive maze), and inventory space is limited, meaning you have to endlessly backtrack to Resident Evil style save chests.

i was counting down the days till this released and don't understand the praises this game is getting. it was disappointing. i couldn't even finish the game properly as it would force close with a code error box during the ending at the same time multiple times Chapters 1 , 2 and 6 were the only enjoyable parts. Chapters 3,4,5 maps are not that good i found very tedious. Constant backtracking gets old very fast combat is well done but easy on soldier (medium) difficulty. there is an over abundance of items and ammo. not survival horror at all. you'll waste time hoarding items and thats OK if you were planning to replay the game but Conscript just isnt fun or engaging enough to want to learn anyway. the front line trench fights are well done but you 'll die to rats more than enemy combatants. Rats will commonly swarm you as soon as u enter a room, meaning items such as the lighter and gas can are mostly useless. molotovs are also mostly useless as u dont throw it far at all, there is no throw trajectory and when u get close enough to a group of rats to throw it, they re chasing u anyway on top of all this, enemies dont follow u offscreen and they re easy to dodge through altogether meaning u could avoid most combat encounters any way That would be fun for a speed run except, as stated above, i cant even properly finish the game any way. There is no endless mode, no replayability its a waste of 12 hours and $27
