Best BR on the market currently.

Edit: Battle pass bs made me change the review.

One of my favourite grand strats out there. I enjoyed my 400ish hours as of writing this with no DLCs.
Wish I met more people that played it, as it is more niche, but overall, would recommend.

(Also hope paradox does more about their base no DLC games, but it's cool)

The best Grand Strategy game on the market.

It has perfect execution, every game mechanic, every statistic, every modifier feels intentional and actually benefits the game as opposed to making it feel over complicated for no reason.

For this era, this game delivers wonders. It gives complete freedom of choice and unique gameplay paths whilst keeping most AI fairly historic and tame. Very rarely does a country get too big or gets teamed up on through diplomacy, keeping the world fractured for a long time providing excellent gameplay.

A few minor cons:

No game is perfect, so constructive criticism where needed....
- The base game lacks fundamental gameplay changes that are packed up in DLC content, as with most Paradox games, luckily this is by far the most replayable of the bunch.
- The game lacks any new player guidance, keeping most people from learning the basics. The advanced modifiers are confusing without thorough wiki reading or reddit clarification. Some modifiers are straight up hidden or displayed in odd spots confusing the player even more.
- The UI is overall amazing, however there is room for growth. A simple parameter or statistical word search would be beneficial.
- Some statistics such as required opinion or exact income for forming missions or completing tasks feels very tedious or rigid. It's a gameplay mechanic, at the cost of immersion.

Everything being said, this game still has one of the best AI out there, it has plenty of room to grow (eu5?) and a definite recommend! Multiplayer is fantastic as well.

As much as I'd love to recommend this game in the future, at the moment it's a no.

The game has a lot of problems with the UI, which is a core part of a UI based bored game, the buttons are counterintuitive, the game doesn't explain why some orders aren't possible, there is a serious lack of options/buttons overall and ingame and the UI elements themselves and their placement is confusing at best.

Gameplay wise, it's largely meh, the idea is great the execution is ok, there is potential but at the moment there is not enough dynamics in the troops and overall map for diversity. Each game is not too different from the last, which can be fine in say chess, however this game is not complex enough for such diversity to be of any meaningful use.

I'd say it's a solid 2.5/10, I liked the mood and setting of the game, liked the idea and feel, but the execution was quite poor. A lot of development time was spent on seemingly less important parts of the games and DLCs.

Negative reviews until they kick their CEO out

Wish the game had more of a goal, aside from character "progression", would edit if so.

Very tough learning curve. However once you get past it, and if preferably you have some FPS experience from beforehand, it can be a super fun competitive experience. Would recommend playing it with a friend though... Always better that way!

This game is definitely in my Top 3 games of all time. Simply perfection.

As a Pre-Alpha tester i can say that this game should be worth your time if you're interested in such a playstyle!
Foxhole is an mmo with hundreds and thousands of players fighting each other in long lasting wars with lots of different equipment and strategy.
Hopefully this review will help see if this game is for you!

With this being said here are some Pros:

1. It's a great game to play with friend or with clans since it requires massive ammounts of teamwork which makes it lots of fun!

2. It has tons of different guns and vehicles to try out, so you can pick whichever favors your playstyle the most which wont make you underpowered!

3. You can build custom bases or fortify towns which can make your creative side spark and make the enemy suffer while trying to take them down!

4. You can destroy any structure in the game, making the player have full control over what gets to be built and what gets to be blown up!

5. It has a lot of different maps which require different strategies and (as of now) a glorious event called the World Conquest where all of the maps are combined into one huge battlefield!

6. During the war you can feel that the game is progressing by all of the new vehicles / weapons / defenses your team unlocks which sets up for new ways of fighting / defending!

7. The tanks make the battle more "on the move" rather than the two factions bombing each other while one finally gives up making it one of the more important units to focus on destroying!

8. If you like being sneaky, this game requires a lot of supply transport so ambushing one would cause the enemy to break down and panic in chaos, making supply lines one of the most important objectives to defend!

9. If you like roleplaying, then foxhole can do a good job making you helpful efficient even when doing so!

10. There are no microtransactions

(as of now) Cons:

1. Gathering materials is quite timewasting and if you're on logistics it's one of the more boring but necessary parts of supplying the frontline.

2. The "mountains" / rocky terrain make it hard for the players on the ground to shoot up at the enemy.

3. Spamming defenses grinds the game to a halt, making wars last from a few days to a few weeks.

4. If you don't have a bit of your time to waste, then playing this game for a few minutes wont be worth it since most wars last long periods of time.

With this being said most of the cons are being worked on so i'd say this game has a bright future! Tons of potential and tons of fun. It's one of the best games when it comes to teamwork!
For it's price, it's not a bad game to try out!

Just buy it

Edit 2018: Just buy it again.
