Brass Brigade Review
The game is a fun, cartoony WWII themed third person shooter that will serve as an enjoyable, globe spanning light diversion that is a great little filler as is, and is teetering on must have status for WWII game fans.
It’s a good looking game, and the abstract battlefields look and feel right for the historical battles they represent. The cartoon GIs look right, the Russians, Brits, Germans and Japanese forces all are evocative and thankfully each has an historically plausible loadout for the role they play. Nicely done here.
Gameplay is solid, the different classes have enough variety to add interest, and many parameters regarding bot aggressiveness and effectiveness, ticket counts and respawns, point capture nerfs are all adjustable. This is good because the default settings are pretty brutal, and I’ve found that toning the AI down and other adjustments make for a less frenetic, more entertaining game. It also lets you tinker with stuff like availability of vehicle and support fires.
Sadly there is no way I can see to save changes made, so each session requires adjustment, and what works on one map may not work as well on another. If the player could save multiple settings and name them (“bulge no allied tanks”) for each battlefield, that would be a great help. There are also a few things I’d like to tinker with that aren’t adjustable, like support cool down times and tank toughness.
The lack of a meaningful campaign, no co-op and a generous but finite selection of maps might limit long term interest, but even as a quick single session diversion the game is a winner. If these issues are addressed by the dev or Workshop support, Brass Brigade will be a great buy at the price.
