Tannenberg
Tannenberg brings the massive battles of the Eastern Front in WW1 to life with 64 players fighting for control of key sectors of the battlefield, each one offering a distinct strategic advantage. Warfare between the Russian Empire, Germany, and their allies offers a fresh experience for first person shooter players and history enthusiasts alike. There are seven squads, 50+ weapons, six large maps that give players tactical freedom, and a 64 player game mode with full AI bot support so you can experience epic battles at any time! Everything has been recreated with the same attention to detail seen in Verdun, the first entry in the WW1 Game Series. This historical game takes place across the lakes, forests, mountains and snowy plains of the Eastern Front – it was inspired by the Battle of Tannenberg in 1914, one of the most iconic encirclement battles in history.

Look, hardly anyone plays this game, but if you want some mindless fun against bots using a challenge to run around with a sword as a Russian in the woods while they shoot inaccurately at you... Get it on sale

Tannenberg is an amazing game that captures the desperation and death that was ever so prevalent on the eastern front.
Not only is the eastern front significantly different from the western front featured in Verdun and the Italian front featured In Isonzo but the gameplay is different as well. There's a much higher focus on maneuverability as the front is broken into sections that can be cut off, so the maps are more dynamic.
The units and factions are cool and balanced, it's fun to see Romanians and Bulgarians in the game. And there's a Romanian map.
The Cossacks are cool, as are the swords they wield. Sword combat is surprisingly not unheard of.
Now the elephant in the room, there's very few people playing. On a good day you might have 5 real players on each team. But worry not my friend, we have bots!!!! yes Bots populate the servers and they can be put to a hard difficulty. And bot lobbies allow for progression and achievements and all that good stuff.
The game is more balanced as there's no infantry machine guns or scoped sniper rifles so it's just bolt action rifles up against swords and revolvers. It has an entirely different feel.
If for some reason you have not bought Verdun or Isonzo and aren't super knowledgeable in this franchise, the WW1 Series prides itself on realistic game play with historic authenticity. A Single rifle shot will drop you, and a handgun / revolver will do it in two. So you are surrounded by death, there are machine guns placed on the map and as you can imagine they are extremely tactical.
When you see Russian and Austrian conscripts die by the thousands you see why Russia had a civil war and Austria-Hungry collapsed in this war. The music, voices and sounds make you feel like you're really there, deep in the Polish forests waiting behind thick trees to attack, knowing that death will come for you any moment. From gas, from a bullet, from artillery or even being stabbed by a bayonet of sword.
85/100, even with bots, it's timeless.

Now this, THIS IS MASTERPIECE. They managed to make it fun. I know why they make verdun a tug of war and this a skirmish gameplay. But they should've done something interesting and fun in verdun because it really feels lazy there. The map here is not linear, There are different objective or sector that you can take or flank to. The Gunplay is again impressive. There are a lot of interesting guns to choose from, they're as unique as verdun. 7/10

ive had my eye on the ww1 games for a while! so when i saw this one on sale for 4.99 i whent ahead an got it and its pretty good! here is my goods and bads!!
goods= graphics are really good, game play for me is really smooth game is optimized very well!

Fantastic game, very historically accurate and the player base seems to be fairly laid back but unfortunately, small. I think it's worth every cent, I'd jump on it at even the smallest sale, you won't regret it.

One of the best WW1 games out there. Wish you could use vehicles or things like artillery, but other than that it's excellent. Bulgarian troops are my favorite, and very well modeled.

A simple WW1 game in the eastern front. It has some awesome elements of the trench warfare, especially the thing that enemies are killed by one shot most of the time. The battles are mostly tactical, mixed Players and NPCies, which is great as the playerbase isn't big.
The biggest amount of players i played with was around 60, but majority of them are really good seasoned players who have mastered all the maps, have their favorite camping spots and thrive to have the most kills in the game. Though those tryhards are annoying, i can't describe the joy when you finally find their sniping spot and kill them, or when you find your own sniping spot and keep killing other teams players, just to be found by another tryhard, so the cycle continues.
Really fun game, there's also a progression system of some kind, but what i really play it for is the joy of pushing the front further, following the commands, running for a trench, to capture that tactical point on a hill. Then defending that point for the entirety of the game solo (because the NPCs just don't understand defending i guess), feeling like a war hero.
You can experience some great moments in this game, and for the sale price, it's a shame to not try this game. Note that this is just the Eastern front, so if you want to fight in other battle maps, check out other games from the developer, though they are mostly the same, just the maps are different.
