RAID: World War II
RAID: World War II is an adrenaline-fueled four-player co-op shooter set during the time when the German war machine was still going strong. Four prisoners of war have been freed by Mrs. White and given a chance to redeem themselves. Their objective? By any means necessary stop the Germans and help end the war. Their reward? The chance to steal anything they find.
Take on the role as one of the four misfit members of the RAID gang, Sterling, Rivet, Kurgan or Wolfgang. Shoot and blast your way through Europe using different classes and skills. Customize your weapons using authentic weapon modifications.

This game is considerably hard to review for a couple of reasons...
1. Yes, it has the same engine as Payday 2 and quite a LOT of similarities for that reason. However, this also means you will probably enjoy it if you enjoy Payday 2.
2. However, it has a number of features and mechanics that differ from Payday 2. It is NOT just a reskin nor a clone, and still feels like a somewhat fresh experience for a Payday 2 veteran.
3. There are bugs and other annoyances, but they are very rarely gamebreaking. I also can NOT verify other reviewers' claims of crashing.
4. A huge bonus for this game actually stems from it's similarities with Payday 2: It can be modded just like Payday 2 and many mods can and already have been ported over to this game. From Bugfixes over Quality of Life changes up to gameplay changing mods, there is a lot you can use. A nice starting point is this group I created and it's "Unofficial RAID WW2 Community Patch":
5. Sadly it's true that this game has been abandoned by the devs (publisher's choice though), and due to lack of new content the player base is rather small. Modding as well as community efforts such as my group linked above are the only thing left... however, the people I have found so far in this game are very nice, and I keep trying to get more friends from Payday 2 & other games to start playing it.
In conclusion, this game does have it's problems but it can be quite fun. It's a coop shooter with RPG elements and a WW2 setting. It might not be worth the price tag it had upon release, and whether the current pricing is fine with you is your decision alone. During the last sale it was 75% off (meaning a price tag of 5 €), and that is most definitely fair.

It's really not as bad as people want to say.
The main issues are the lack of players and that the game will never be updated.
Yes, the game has some issues, but it could have been mostly fixed through updates if the game's launch had not failed so hard.
Yes, the game is dead, but if you are ok to play alone most of the time and have some occasional good time with a stranger, it's actually pretty good !
I'm having a lot of fun with this game, and it would have been awesome if it received the same attention than Payday 2.
The main issue why this game failed is a lack of communication / advertisement on launch. I'm pretty sure that with better graphics and better communication, this game would have received the love it deserves.
Be aware : this game is not for everyone, but if you like Payday and want some fresh air, this one may be what you need.
