Enlisted, a squad-based FPS developed by Gaijin Entertainment (creators of War Thunder), promises a realistic and engaging military experience. However, this review argues that the game falls short in delivering on its potential, failing to carve a niche for itself within the competitive FPS market. While the game's Russian origins are praised for a lack of overly defensive fanbases, the core gameplay mechanics and AI are deemed deeply flawed. The author ultimately concludes that the game is unlikely to gain significant traction, particularly given the entrenched dominance of established titles.
Enlisted, the squad-based FPS from Gaijin Entertainment, attempts to capitalize on the popularity of the military-themed shooter genre. However, this reviewer's experience suggests that the game struggles to differentiate itself meaningfully from established competitors like the Battlefield series. The core gameplay loop, beyond the inclusion of AI, appears fundamentally flawed. The review criticizes the game's AI as particularly poor, hindering the strategic depth and tactical engagement that a squad-based FPS promises. Beyond the AI, other aspects of the gameplay mechanics are also deemed unsatisfactory.
The author highlights a key difference in community reception that might be a factor in the game's potential success: the apparent lack of aggressively defensive fanbases often associated with some Western titles. This perceived openness to criticism suggests a possible opportunity for the game to evolve and improve. However, the core gameplay issues appear to overshadow this potential advantage.
The review further delves into a perspective that criticizes "military enthusiasts" who become interested in military strategy solely through FPS games. This viewpoint suggests that engaging with this demographic might prove unproductive, as their understanding of military strategy might be significantly limited, and their passion for the subject may be superficial. The author cites examples like the contentious debates surrounding weapon modifications in games like War Thunder to illustrate this point.
Ultimately, Enlisted's prospects appear bleak. While the game's Russian origin and perceived lack of a toxic fan community are positive aspects, the fundamental issues with gameplay mechanics and AI are significant obstacles that likely preclude the game from gaining widespread popularity or capturing a significant share of the established FPS market. The game's future success seems contingent on substantial improvements to the core gameplay experience.
