UberSoldier

The Cover and Name of the Game make it sound like it's Based but it's actually a Cuckold game

Many years ago, I owned & played a disc copy of UberSoldier II - or "Crimes Of War" as my version was titled. Expecting it to just be a bad game, one I could chuck on for a laugh and quickly be done with, I was actually genuinely surprised by how much fun it was (although don't get me wrong, it [i]was[/i] a bad game). Reminiscing about playing it, and wondering if I had any chances for a revisit, I come to find that both it AND a prequel I had no idea existed have since been listed on Steam. So what better way to relive this glorious clunker, than through setting the stage by experiencing the original UberSoldier for the first time? Frankly though, in all honesty, I just didn't have the best time with this game over its (thankfully short) few hours of running time. Many of the appeals I recall from the sequel are there - terrible voice acting and script, over-the-top janky B-grade action, and surprisingly satisfying guns. But there's also a LOT working against it. For starters, enemy ...

If you've played Ubersoldier II which released on Steam before Ubersoldier I, then you'll instantly recognize the gameplay and tone. The gunplay feels a lot like the original Metro 2033, with punchy and lethal bullets. This is slavjank through and through, but like...the good kind. If you manage your own expectations and go into it with an open mind its actually a really fun romp. The enemies are typical slavjank with heavy ragdolls and bits of armor and gear that go flying off when they die. The result is these funny moments of unscripted mayhem that is satisfying to watch and make happen. Enemies getting yeeted out of windows etc. Also, there is a cool sequence where you swap between turrets on a submarine to fight off incoming bombers. There is a ton of really visually incredible moments like planes crashing into buildings and bunkers blowing up.
