There is no real tutorial to play through but the game has an offline mode where you can take your time and enjoy some skirmishes with bots. The game starts with a short introduction video and after that you’ll be able to start battling on the front. The developers have really put a lot of effort into the whole package as the gunplay feels absolutely realistic. Isonzo is a realistic First Person Shooter that takes place on the Italian front during World War One. The many screams of dying soldiers are something that gets under the skin and when a gun is fired close to you, even your character will flinch for a second, signaling the distress of combat. On the battlefield, you have the mix of yelling soldiers, gunfire, bombardments, and all the sounds you expect from a warzone. During skirmishes, the music will be silent except for the final stage of the battle where it ramps up the tension by signaling that it is now a case of do or die. In the menus, you have some authentic war music playing to get you in the atmosphere of those battles. Just like the graphics, the sounds have been treated with an equal level of quality. Wounded enemies will leave a large trail of blood, your hands become bloodied from close combat or getting wounded and a headshot will either take off part of someone’s head or sometimes completely if the hit was just right. The game is absolutely brutal when it comes to gore. Attention to detail is everywhere, from how your character handles the weapon, and how the areas get destroyed to the realistic feel of combat and visual damage to enemies. Each map is beautifully made with many destructible items that bear the scars of all the bombardments that happen around you. These new areas load in seamlessly when you prepare for the next assault. When you enter a new section, the previous one is closed off. The way how they fit such high quality in the large maps is that they are actually divided into different sections. Isonzo is a game that will blow you away, especially with the complete package. Visually the game came as a big surprise, as most Indie games such as this are okay-ish when it comes to their graphics but they often lack the deeper details or a general finish. This will give some information on the battle and this is always nice to read if you are interested in the history behind the fight in which you will participate. Story-wise you only get snippets of information about the battles fought in the loading menu right before a skirmish. Fighting on the Italian front you will either play as the Italians or Hungarians to fight over territory and to win the war. The game mainly takes place in the southwest area of Europe. This time the fight takes place on a front that we haven’t seen in many games before. The latter was highly praised by us only a few months ago and we then thought that this would be the WW1 shooter of 2022, yet now with Isonzo, it seems like both are fighting for the nr1 spot. Many games have touched upon this scenario, like Battlefield One, Verdun,and Beyond the Wire. This left many players with a hunger to experience what it would be like in the First World War. There was a time when we got fed up with the overabundance of all the WW2 shooters but modern-day scenarios just don’t feel the same. World War One shooters have seen a rise in popularity over the last couple of years.
