The Raid World War II game comes to us from the Swedish Lion Game Lion studio, which participated in the development of the second part of the Payday game, specifically the additional content of The Bomb Heists. Many differences and improvements, and the game brought us back to the era of World War II to provide a different experience. The game comes to us from the publication of Starbreeze on the PC, while the famous 505 Games publishes the game on the “PlayStation 4” and “Xbox One” platforms.
The story of the game
Although the game is a cooperative game, it carries a story of its own. The events of the game, as we mentioned, take place in World War II, when the Nazi army was superior to the Allied forces, so Mrs. White, a British intelligence worker, created a squad that tried to eliminate Hitler and steal gold and army treasuries, in addition to killing and destroying all equipment and radars that were owned by the Nazi army. White frees four people, Sterling, Rivet, Kurgan, and Wolfgang, from the Nazi army and creates this deadly squad that fears no one.
playing style
In the beginning, you have 4 categories to choose between them. The first is Recon, who is a person who specializes in capturing enemies and possesses powerful weapons. The second is Insurgent, who can penetrate the ranks of enemies and infect many with successive rapid shots. The third is Demolitions, the explosives expert of the team, and finally Assault, who specializes in heavy weapons and works to help others. Choosing a class that you like to try, you will not be able to change it later. All the skills and weapons that will be unlocked later will be specific only to the class that you have chosen, but you can create a new character and class, but you will start with it from its first moments. After choosing your character and completing the training phase, you will automatically go to the “bunker” or the operations center of the team members and start organizing it. There you will be able to enter tasks, join other players via the Internet, modify weapons, use and modify the skill tree of your character, in addition to that it will contain All rewards and spoils that you get through missions. The game has two phases of the initial play, which is the phase of individual play, and through it you will enter to finish the tasks with three characters, but you will suffer a lot from the artificial intelligence of the game, as it is one of the problems that we met. If there is a transfer of gold or seizure of equipment, they will not transfer it with you, but you will have to go and return several times to move those things, they will only help you when you fall.
As for the second phase, it is the distinguished phase of the game. There you will have to choose your team intelligently, and everything will be very smooth and work like a machine, and you will complete the task successfully and be able to anger “Hitler” more and more, but if you choose a person with a low level of intelligence to take care of the task with you, you will have doomed yourself to failure And he made "Hitler" happy to eliminate you. A game like any other game depends on the cooperative play phase. The level of play and fun in it is related to the level of the people you play with. When everyone plays the task correctly, the game will offer you a unique experience full of enthusiasm, excitement and heated battles. The game has so far 13 missions You will need a lot of time to finish it, and these tasks differ in their characteristics. There are tasks that will require you to steal the gold of the Nazi army, and there are other tasks that will require the destruction of military facilities, and others that require the elimination of devices and equipment, as well as means of transportation to eliminate them. The tasks do not have a common factor between them and will enable you to eliminate hours Many countries experience boredom. The game has a unique challenge system that makes you challenge other players and also challenge yourself. After completing each mission, you will get a “challenge” card, through which the game will require that you kill a certain number of soldiers, carry out certain tasks, or also a certain method of killing, and thus you will get that card that gives you distinctive weapons In addition to modifications to it and also the addition of new skills that you can use in the skill tree of the category that you have chosen.
The artificial intelligence is very weak, so if you try the single-player phase, the game will close minutes after the start of the mission because of what others do with you or also the enemies who walk beside you without feeling you despite your shooting at others, also the Melee Attack strikes are very weak and have no effect as there are some The enemies we have used the Melee Attack more than once and they do not move from their place, even a little. Also, there are some cases when shooting at some soldiers, and you find them steadfast in their place. It is possible to fire 4 or 5 bullets at the enemies in order to eliminate them, and this is very bad, as you run out of special bullets Which will cause your death when other enemies come.
graphics
The graphics are also one of the bad things that we encountered in the game. Actually, Lion Game Lion studio used the Diesel engine, which was used to develop the Payday 2 game, which was released in 2013 and was able to provide a good visual experience, but the Raid World War II game was similar to platform games. The old “PlayStation 2” did not present anything special, the cinematic scenes that were distinctive, whether in the opening of the game and explaining its events or at the end of each mission, whether with success or failure. When the mission succeeds, we find “Adolf Hitler” and one of his soldiers in a state of rage that differs from one mission to another and in In case of failure of the mission, we also find “Adolf Hitler” in a state of joy and mockery of the Allied forces and the four soldiers. As for the surrounding environment, there was already a clear interest in it, but we did not think that we would see a game of this graphical level in this generation. The game is supposed to use an engine that introduced four years ago, good graphics, so he should try to present those graphics and not go back and present bad graphics.
acoustics
The acoustics is one of the features that impressed us in the game, as the company paid attention to the details of the Second World War period, including enthusiastic songs that were broadcast at the time, in addition to the voices of the characters that match the nationality of each of them, as well as the other soldiers, and we do not forget the voices of the actors in the cinematic scenes and their performance, which was wonderful, in some situations I presented music The photography was very enthusiastic. In some places, you find a huge attack from many German soldiers, so you start to hear that music, and you only feel yourself shooting right and left at these soldiers.
Game duration and replay value
A cooperative game that offers a single-player phase, that is, you can try the tasks and finish them alone, or you can try them over the network with three other players, as the game does not have a specific time to finish it. Your team in the game can experience more than 50 hours of play to complete all missions.
Conclusion
Lion Game Lion studio tried to provide a gaming experience similar to the Payday game in a different era and a different style of play as well, but it ran into many problems related to the gameplay in addition to the graphics and some artificial intelligence problems, but in general the game experience was promising, but the developer needs to make a lot of effort to reach the level good.
Why do we love Raid World War II?
A good game is unmistakable by the experienced eye? This is the impression that reached us as soon as we tested the Raid World War II beta for the first time on PC, and then tested the game via Steam at the end of last month and a few days ago on the PS4 platform.
Games like Shadow of War, Forza 7, or even Assassin's Creed Origins don't need us to shine a spotlight on them. These games have long-awaited audiences, but because we have that expert eye? -In reality; Many experienced eyes - it's our duty to spot for you games that pass under the radar unnoticed though they are worth a try - at the very least - and should not be missed by any gamer.
We've already done this with Hellblade from Ninja Theory, the well-known indie developer who introduced a new Indie AAA rating to the gaming industry, and today we're doing it again with Raid World War II and former Payday 2 developer.
We spotted the game for the first time in our October Games article, then we talked with you about its story in a separate article.. What distinguished the game for us is that it came at a time when open world games and competitive play spread across the network. Which is what made us long - frankly - for linear games - kind of - with a clear story that goes in a specific direction. So below are five reasons why we fell in love with Raid World War II!
1- Cooperative play to eliminate Nazism
Although Raid World War II has its own linear story split across several main missions, it comes with a lot of randomness and unordered events just because of co-op play with your friends. Of course playing alone without even the rest of your squad being controlled by AI would be a fantasy and a return to games like IGI and others with superheroes who can't be called soldiers!
You will get the full fun of the game when you cooperate with your friends over the network to finish the missions with advance planning and tactics that generates a unique experience every time you step into the field of war. It is only you and your friends in front of the world or rather the entire Nazi army.
There is also the possibility of re-tasking in different ways and a completely different style of play, especially since the game every time automatically changes some small details that add a kind of renewal, such as changing the point of entry every time, and then providing a different experience.
2- It's Payday but in WWII
Are you a fan of the Payday series? Have you ever thought about repenting and stopping robbing banks and moving on to some kind of honest work of serving humanity? Well, this is what Raid World War II offers you.. As we mentioned earlier, the developer of the game is Lion Game Lion, who worked on additional content for the game Payday 2, and then the Croatian developer is well aware of what the players liked about Payday, so that they invest it again, but in the events of the World War The second is where you take the side of good - considering the outcome of matters - instead of the side of theft .. Or in fact you will do a lot of stealing, especially of Nazi gold .. But according to a tacit agreement between you and Control and Mrs White (representatives of the British Secret Intelligence) any Nazi spoils "lost" during missions will not be the subject of questioning or investigation.
3- Movie scenes and comedian John Cheese
On the mention of Control (British Intelligence Commissioner), the cinematic clips in this game are the second best aspect that I liked about it - after the cooperative gameplay aspect -. The game begins with a clip of Control, played by John Cheese, who briefly explains your mission in a classic British accent. He then appears before each task to explain what is required of you in short phrases.

Add to this; Cuts at the end of each mission that change depending on your success or failure. After the end of your mission with failure, Hitler will appear to you insanely cheerful, and upon your success, he will appear so angry that he will kill his poor assistant or even devour the papers of your mission success reports. I was eagerly awaiting those scenes, and sometimes I deliberately failed the mission to see Hitler's childish happiness.. Of course, I did not wait for many missions and immediately went to YouTube looking for all the cinematic scenes of Hitler in both success and failure:

4- A new theory regarding the disappearance of The Amber Room
Every war game used to bring its own take on a famous historical event from a different perspective. The game Raid World War II excelled in this regard when it dealt - through the mission of The Amber Train - with one of the most famous mysteries of World War II, around which many theories and speculations spread, which is the incident of the disappearance of the ancient Amber Room.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=io42tE1u824
If you are interested in this incident, I will summarize it for you here without too many names and dates which I know you will intentionally skip.. So let's get started!
Amber is considered one of the rarest and most expensive gemstones, and that is why a sculptor built an amber room only on the orders of the King of Prussia in the eighteenth century, and that king gifted it to one of the sons of the Russian leadership as a sign of the alliance of the two countries against Sweden at that time. However, the room was dismantled and moved for fear of the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union, but it eventually fell into the hands of the Germans. And that room disappeared completely in the midst of the horrors of World War II, where Hitler ordered his allies to preserve it and transport it on a train for fear - again - of British air bombing .. Some theories assume that this rare artifact - which was at one time considered the eighth wonder One of the wonders of the world - it was completely destroyed in the British bombing, and another theory assumes that the train loaded with the room has derailed and is now settled in the depth of an ocean of oceans waiting for someone to dig for it .. While the game came with a completely new theory, which is that the British intelligence before that The Allied forces begin to bomb Germany in 1944. They send a group of soldiers to steal this artifact, and within the agreement made with intelligence, any German booty that falls into the hands of our suicide squad will not be investigated. In the end, Raid assumes that a rare artifact is worth half a billion dollars It was just a reward for a group of obscure mercenaries!
