Holdfast: Nations At War

this game killed my gpu at high and ultra settings

This game is super fun and a good time to play. filled with funny moments

The voice chat in this game is hell and I love it. My first game I heard blatant racism and an enemy ugly crying because he had to shoot me cuz I crossed a bridge when he told me not to. Combat is also pretty fun.

Used to be better. Some maps have been changed for the worse. I used to love sieges, but now they feel different. It seems like some points are able to be captured before the defenders even spawn in. Most sieges are not fun anymore, or not as fun as they were.

The game can be quite fun at times, mainly due to the community. But unfortunately, the gameplay is quite poor.

The guns have terrible accuracy. Even if you aim perfectly, you can miss multiple shots in a row as the bullets curve away from the target like a bowling ball, and the melee combat is quite clunky, often times having people hit you without actually having visually touched your hitbox. These things alone make the game become frustrating, as there is only so much you can tolerate a dice roll dictating your success before you tire of it.

Shame, as a lot of other aspects of this game are quite good. The character models are quite pretty and historically accurate, the community is great and there are a lot of nice little touches, like the variety of music that musicians can play, with unique tunes for each country. Have a good day.

You want: Historical shooter
You get: Racism Simulator
:(

Community is Hilarious, very fun, and friendly for the most part (at least when i'm playing with the Brits haha).

If you're sick of the fast pace that's so common in modern games nowadays, then this will be a treat for you. One can easily play into the night and later watch the hands on the clock do a 180 degree turn.

To those complaining about the slow reload, that's the best part about it for me to be honest with y'all. You get 15 seconds of rest to hit v@pe, rehydrate, tell your gf you love her.........

But pls buy game its good game
And if you do hmu on the naval server :3

I'm always shocked anytime I actually manage to hit anyone or anything. Extremely satsifying.

it is a great experience, although i wish the WW1 gamemode had more players

is a modern game why is it so wonky and weird inputs. and even the best settings looks bad.

enjoyable game when this game its peak 2020-2022,rn this game is dead

Such a massive game. You can take part in trench warfare or sink a Napoleonic ship. this game is accurate, engaging and incredible.

war against the french had never been so fun. prox chat makes it all the better, absolutely hilarious.

amazing, only game i have left cod for

My favorite game for getting drunk and doing bad accents in proximity chat

My favorite Encounter so far was with a gen-u-ine Rasta-man

Ah yes

A napoleonic war game where the British ALWAYS LOSES, like most of the experienced players don’t select this faction idk why

10/10 game

A great game in itself, especially the historical aspect behind it, but if there weren't idiots around who had their mic permanently open so they could play all kinds of music that completely drown out all the other sounds! If the developers would do something about the fact that such running radios are automatically muted, for example if they were just disrupting the game instead of being helpful, you could enjoy the game. I for one don't want to listen to rap when there's internal music and you're concentrating on the scenery. Please bring out a patch or rework the whole thing, I don't know, I'd also be happy with server rules that take action against running jukeboxes.

fun game but be prepared to miss point blank shots some how :D

Can only recommend it.

-Has proximity voice chat
-Still receives regular updates
-A truly unique community
-Offers organised linebattles, many hosted by regiments (in game clans)
-Public servers where you can experience chaos and meet new people
-Multiple gamemodes with dedicated communities that host their own events
-Modding support, you can create your own maps and uniforms if you want
-very detailed and accurate uniforms and maps
-freedom to decide how you want to play with multiple classes available

If you already thought about trying it out for yourself just do it, and don't be discouraged when it is a bit harder in the beginning, stick around and try out different things to discover what suits you, be it a class or a certain gamestyle, just try your best to learn the mechanics or just be yourself and use the voice chat to further enrich the game. Over 3 years after buying Holdfast and with 1.300 hours played I can only say that it was worth every cent.

Literal garbage, cheap and clunky imitation of Warband: Napoleonic Wars.

bag pipes, and hot mics. great content.

it's fun i just want a mode with bots

I have never had an issue like I have with this game. I have owned this game for years, I decided to come back to it recently after seeing all the updates. UNFORTUNATELY, despite reinstalling the game twice, verifying files, and restarting steam client; it STILL says the game cannot be authenticated on steam. It's depressing as there are not many musket/bolt action games around but I guess this one is literally unplayable for now.

first things first i love this game. i use to like the nations at war game mode a lot when the game first came out.the reason i give it a thumbs down is because the front-line game mode is my favorite now and no one plays it. i feel like every time i get on i see the nations at war servers filled to the brim but front line servers are all empty. it makes me sad. i would recommend this game more if this game could have more players on it that play the front line game mode.

the costom maps are so good and cool and you can join thier dc to know when they will start and dont forgot about the normal servers thier kinda good but the costom maps are better

this has to be one of my fav games. Sad it lost a lot of the players

You ever want to be in the middle of the battlefield during the Napoleonic Era and WW1 reloading your weapon that takes at least 10 SECONDS while hearing someone's BLASTING Sabrina Carpenter's Espresso in the background and seeing people rping WAY too seriously at the same time? This is the game for you!
A VERY addicting game.

Critiques:
- Personally not a fan of the gun gameplay in Frontlines WW1. Probably because aiming your gun feels off in this mode.
- Few toxic people are still in chat saying the most 4chan shit you can think of. No idea where are the mods

i paid full price for dead servers there is only like 3 servers one is always full one is 11/150 the other is 70/150 but locked because your not appart of the club

It's an alright game there are def some very nice people but also very toxic people even when you're just playing the game how it's supposed to be played you get an insult from the same guy the whole match but other than that. Just make sure you find the right people to make friends with before saying anything.

It's a great game and devs are still updating it, a lot of different classes to choose from, tons of maps, good game to chill on

a fun game to play with friends

Get to call the French "Smelly Frogs"
10/10

Most of the time there are only 1 or 2 active Nations at War servers, rest are dead. Frontlines WW1 servers are all dead. Everyone went back to Napoleonic era or quit. Melee combat is the most clunky and awkward I have ever experienced in a game. Big disappointment for me since I was more interested in Frontlines WW1 and the main reason for getting the game.

autism simulator multiplayer 10/10 would recommend

idk what to say the game is just good and the community is pretty uh unique

I am new to playing keyboard and mouse and it is a very fun game. Very easy to catch on on what you are doing highly recommend. GOD BLESS.

Do you want to experence the grinding attrition and sheer futility of turn of the last two centuries warfare yourself, from behind your screen? Then buy this game, and prepare to be blown up by artellery. bayonetted, and shot down a lot. It's great fun!

a fellow soldier was blasting britney spears on mic while great nations were at war. this game is for the girlypops only. 10/10 experience!

Joined for the first 5 Minutes and already saw people playing rudicously loud music on the mic. 10/10.

lots of fun, but I recommend joining a regiment and do proper battles. otherwise, it's a mess of people just running around shooting each other with horribly inaccurate guns

Holdfast aka "VR Chat: me and the boys edition"

How to enjoy this game:
-turn off your mind
-casually play the objective
-grab some popcorn
-enjoy the chaos

10/10

I love being verbally assaulted by fictional men, while missing all of my shots <3

no real report system or at least vote to kick, ppl are cancer

Love the game! How can a game where you and your teammates die be funny? Well it is... 10/10

It's a great game that is fairly active. The main server seems to be the only populated one. Frontline appears to be dead so if you're buying it for that I would do some research. Literally no one in those servers.

Its fun but, the servers are rarely full or even have anyone at all. Would not buy until player count goes up.

i personally don't really like it. i'v seen pics of a cool trench map, but every time i choose a server there's not a single trench in sight. you cant even make trenches...

worst community ever game is boring servers are empty save your cash buy something else

This game has gotten better over the years but still suffers from worst-in-class melee and 1 NA server for 150 people total. Don't buy unless on sale.

Love this game, but it has a few simple problems...

CONS:
#1. Is a direct call out to the admins/moderators/devs, or literally whoever are actually the ones that are supposed to be enforcing the rules of the game. I have played this game a good bit at this point, and have completed many matches now; and literally 80-90% of those matches I see people blatantly breaking the rules that are outlined, I hear people saying racist and homophobic remakes constantly in the voice chat. I have several clips i have gathered to support these claims. However, mods never step in and do anything about violations, nor is there any type of quickly accessible report feature. I see the same people on almost every day/evening committing the same offenses; and sadly the very few times that i have seen penalties be dealt, it is seemingly with great bias and very unequal, which personally bothers me a lot.

#2. I more of a pet peeve that I have, Being that the nature of the game requires semi large scale field battles to be the main form of gameplay, which due to that it requires all players to cooperate to have the best experience. However, for whatever reason in almost every game I play there are decently sized groups of people just sitting in spawn doing nothing, not necessarily AFK, but typically just sitting there talking, playing music, simping over an 'e-girl', roleplaying, or just blasting their soundboard. The reason I find this to be irritating over time is especially when your team is loosing a game and could use a few extra hands to help win, but instead you have groups just sitting in spawn quite literally using the game as a hangout in a similar nature to VR Chat or something. There is seemingly no AFK timer, not one that I, nor my friends have encountered.

PROS:
Would I recommend this game though? Yes, absolutely! I believe that this game deserves to be in a hall of fame or some type of national registry for one of the best games of our generation. I know that may sound a bit like an exaggeration, however, I say this with 100% certainty, I have never experienced anything like this game before; whenever the problems that I previously mentioned are not happening, this game is genuinely a blast! The player interactions you will have are truly unmatched, there is a skill ceiling that is pretty challenging and fun to learn. However, i just wish that the problems i previously mentioned, as well as the problems about development that i hear other people in game complaining about would actually be recognized and/or acknowledged in some manner. This game deserves to stay alive and I hope that I, as well as others, are able to continue playing it into the future! This game is genuinely something special in the gaming world, I have truly experienced things in this game that I have never experienced anywhere else on the internet. It is a really really fun time with an amazing opportunity for player interactions that you will likely never forget; and for those reasons I will be wholeheartedly giving this game a good review! The cons I mentioned need to be address though...
