Airborne Hero D-Day Frontline 1944

The Good
Just a decent amount of décor and props and some weather effects. Plus you get a decent arsenal. Is that all I can say? I'm afraid so. I'm about to get into rage mode for what comes next.

The Bad
Get your gasmask and dragonhide gloves, because there's a torrent of broken mechanics coming immediately into the game. You know how bad it's going to get when the intro level just keeps you waiting and you can't skip it. By the next level, you'll immediately notice that when enemies shoot at you, they never miss and they hit you hard as hell. Doesn't matter what difficulty you play on, every eneny nails you all the time. You need the reflexes of a cat to shoot them. Or you can lean around corners to shoot them. But guess what, you wouldn't know that you could lean with Q and E, because the help screen doesn't tell you.

There is more you need to know about what you're up against. Enemies can be safely shot at a distance, but the crosshair works as well as a rubber plane flying over an ocean. You have shoot an enemy three or four times to kill them, so forget about headshots. Explosives are going to spite you when they get a chance because they instantly drain all your health, even when you are technically out of range. Enemies almost never leave ammo behind and health pickups are rare. Once you reach the third level, trust me, you'll never pass it. Snipers which are impossible for you to target, have you literally dead in their sights, their spotlights will chase you and never go away. And for some reason you don't have your machine gun. The worst level of the worst game.

The presentation and the layout are just as bad. When you pause the gamem, you have to press a key to trigger an option. This presents two problems. The most obvious one is that make accidentally quit the game because E is next to R. What kind of confounded menu is this? As if they couldn't do a mouse menu. And talking of menus, there aren't a whole lot of options, so you can't redefine the keys. Quality control does not exist anywhere.

The Bottom Line
I'm pretty sure you have never seen an insultingly broken FPS like this. This lacks every essential element you would expect in great games like Call of Duty. Even City Interactive games don't get as horrible to that extent. With the unfair mechanics that plague the levels, this is more of a survival-of-no-chance kind of genre in a game. How dare ASYLUM Games release this aberration on the market. I can't believe anyone who made this game actually played it. Forget what you know about FPS gameplay if you intend to try it and after you've played for the first five minutes, you'll never recover from the damage it did to you. If you bought this with your allowances or received it as a gift, this will leave you scarred for the rest of your life. Throw your copy of this game as far as you can. You'll be in desperate need of a Wolfenstein game to soothe the pains you sustained. Keep telling yourself "Never play this, never share it, never speak of it".
