It's a trite sentiment, but truly, gaming has changed. In the past, if a developer released something and people didn't like it, that was the end of the story – bad game, didn't sell, tough luck. Nowadays, game-makers have the chance to course correct. Such is the case with Enlisted. The longstanding WW2 FPS was pulled from Steam earlier this year after near-universal criticism of its pricing model. But it's suddenly back, and it's bigger, better, and everything that fans initially wanted. If you dodged Enlisted the first time around, but you're still looking for an alternative to Battlefield or Hell Let Loose, the free shooter deserves another chance.
FPS game was previously accessible for free, on Steam, you couldn't access the game whatsoever without spending money on additional material.
Combined with technical troubles that prevented players from using their existing s and associated unlocks on the new version, the backlash prompted Enlisted's creators to take the game down. But now it's back – and it's actually free. The new version of Enlisted on Steam is accessible without having to spend any money at all on additional material and also s linking, though developer Darkflow says this will only be available for a certain amount of time.
"Upon first launching the game, you'll be prompted to link your Steam and Gaijin s, regardless of whether you've previously linked this or another to Steam through other Gaijin games," the studio says. "Due to technical reasons, the ability to link s will only be available for a limited time. We'll try to maintain this feature for as long as possible and will notify you in advance when it's ending."
Darkflow has also added Steam Deck and is working on new battles, events, and an improved tutorial for the UI. So far, Enlisted has managed to earn a 'mostly positive' rating based on player reviews. If you want to try the free Steam game for yourself, just head here.
