RUNNING WITH RIFLES

Download demo/purchase the game: http://www.modulaatio.com/runningwithrifles/

"Running with rifles" is a game where you control a soldier, and there are tons of AI soldiers on the field, and you do not have to kill # of players or go somewhere, but you have to influence the battlefield events (area control).

RUNNING WITH RIFLES is a top-down sandbox shooter for PC/Windows, with emphasis on cooperation, squad leading and being a tiny soldier in a big war. The events take place on an open world battlefield divided between two factions, each trying to capture bases from the opposite side until the enemy has been wiped out from the area. The player takes the role of a private and fights along his/her comrades controlled by AI, slowly gaining influence over fellow soldiers through rank promotions from success in battles.

You can lead AI squads and play with other people online (which is really fun).

Here's a preview video by Jefmajor if you want to watch what is it about:

This game also has a demo version which you can try for free.

The full game (which is still in beta, so you will get all later updates for free) costs ~6 euro but it's well worth it. It may sound like I suddenly became a spambot, but I really had a kick at it .
It's increadibly fun and simple. The best way to satisfy the "shoot em" gaming urge, and tactical abilities as well.

P.S. I forgot to mention that it has great cover mechanics and usage of surroundings. You can climb on roofs, lay down and crouch behind various obstacles. Also since it's in development, the developer promises vehicles and destructible environment in the future.

Well damn it, my credit card expired 2 minutes ago!!! Hehe, now I have to wait for a week to buy it, oh well. I hope to see more bay12 gamers once I buy it, to play with you online.

I really must get this some day, it looks rather awesome I must say, its far too little that a shooter actually catches my eyes.

Looks like a cross of "Soldat" "Army Men" and "Arma".

Love this game. I can't wait until vehicles get added.

Exactly my opinion. The same adrenaline and quick action when you are in a fight like in Soldat, but less stain and danger because you can sit behind the cover and think for a while.

Well, my search-fu has failed me. That thread was 1 month old .

Oh hai

Yes, as soon as Jef posts a video of it people are suddenly interested. Peculiar =p

We seriously need to get some guys on Teamspeak and play some games. Had a wonderful suprise when I hopped on TS and we played a round of Artemis, a game I hadn't heard about for about a year. Definately going to be hopping on TS more often, might even catch a game of RWR some day =p

Love this game. I can't wait until vehicles get added.

EDIT: If this game reminds you of anything it should be Cannon Fodder, just saying. I'm not saying I'm just saying, you know what I'm saying?

I played this game during the earlier stages, it didn't feel to be enough for me to warrant shelling out the equivilant of more than 7.80 American for it.

The last time I played, it didn't have all the buildings. It was just out in the woods with the (incredibly huge) barracks.

I'm not sure if I would really call it isometric, but I'm glad this is finally getting some recognition it's a great game.

Looks like Frozen Synapse.
