Holdfast: Nations At War

Got drunk. Started speaking in accents. People followed me because I was loud and talking in an accent. Proceed to do Picket's charge. Ended how you would expect. Repeat 10 times and somehow still have people following a dude with a bad Russian accent.

This game is a fascinating example of what a bad game is and is not. Ugly graphics, animations, maps, textures and basically all assets. Character movement is frustratingly slow and clunky. Unintuitive UI and gameplay loop. Rules of the game world makes no sense. Destroying a castlewall is allowed but wooden ladders held together by rope are indestructible. Proximity VOIP constantly spammed with gamer words and Hi tittler. These fellas have mastered the art of jank, brought it to a whole new level and I still wanna play this game, It's that good.

I enjoy this game, though I think that might be because of my special interest in the Napoleonic Wars—so I'm not entirely sure how objectively good it is. A friend of mine found it frustrating, especially because of the low aim accuracy and long reload time, which made him give up on it after like 5 minutes. So I understand that it might not be for everyone. For me, though, the appeal lies in the atmosphere, community, and even roleplaying to a certain degree. I find joy in small details; marching toward the enemy with a band of three drummers playing completely different songs, crouching to aim in tall grass under a bright hot sun, or bracing against icy wind along the wall of a stone fort— each of which, imagining myself as a grenadier, gladly giving his life for crown and country. I love anachronisms like when people play "Kung Fu Fighting" by Carl Douglas over voice chat—it reminds me of stupid jokes my classmates and I would make during history class. That said, I’m very...

Its the game Richard Shape would play.. so should you. It would be great value at twice the price, Only issue I have had is getting voice comms working

The Devs suck they allow women to be sexually discriminated. When women speak up about it they get banned. The game used to be so fun but people have ruined the game. They don't care about the community.

Game has a great community. But for me personally. It is mid. Gameplay is too janky. The community is what makes this game but I wouldn't really recommend it.

These lobbies feel like MW2 in 2009. Most servers are usually full so it can take time to find a join-able match.

theres just something about musket fire, barbie girl blaring in the background and B movie french accents that tickle me in all the right places

Miss your shot? Good luck getting another before a frog eating frenchman stabs you with a bayonet 10/10 would die terribly to grapeshot again
