By now, you've probably at least heard of Enlisted. You might think of it as "just another war game," but its endlessly fun, tactical squad-based gameplay, with both on-foot and vehicle-based combat, sets it apart from many others of its kind. Plus with PS5 and Xbox crossplay, you can play with your friends across all different platforms. The game is currently only available to wishlist on Steam right now, so we recommend ing straight through the official website to get the free bonuses and a headstart.
New players can enjoy the benefits of a limited-time offer that gives you special weapons, armor, and currency, plus three days' access to a Enlisted , which gives you huge extra gains for each battle you take part in. It's a good way to get a foot up early on in the game, so you don't feel daunted by seasoned players.
While many other war shooters have you playing as a Rambo-esque soldier who takes on entire enemy armies single-handedly, Enlisted instead puts you in control of a whole platoon, each bringing unique skills to the battlefield. You'll then find yourself flitting between them all, conscious of their placements, as you take a more tactical approach to combat.
Those who like going it alone will also enjoy the Lone Fighters mode, which lets you choose one soldier from your squad, rather than sending them all out together. There are so many game modes that you'll have no trouble finding an option that suits your preferred style – plus, with new content added all the time, like the Stronger than Steel update, which brings new tanks and weapons into the mix, battles always feel varied and interesting.
It's a great time to start playing Enlisted, as the most recent update gives you so much more freedom by merging all the different campaigns into one thing with multiple paths, letting you switch between American, Russian, Japanese, and German forces (who all play very differently) whenever you want. Though there was once a linear progression system, there are now vast research trees that let you customize and enhance your army in the way you want.
The special custom mode is filled with creations from the game's enormous fan community. There are now three years of cool -generated content – it's a huge rabbit hole of free content to explore, which blows the definition of what the game can be wide open. There's even a zombies mod.
Start now, try the game and play with your friends or strangers. Enlisted today to discover your new favorite online game – endless hours of online fun await.
