The value story

February 2019 is where it bottomed out, at $2.49. Its cuts run 75 percent off as a rule. There have been 47 in the 9 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 3 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 91 percent of its genre. The nearest things to it, Sniper Elite 4 ($59.99, scores 76) and Day of Infamy ($14.99, scores 36), are both worse buys on this math.

On this data it would still be a BANGER at $18.34. It costs $2.49.

75 from critics against 95 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.

2 of the 320 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 87 percent of the 133 reviews written there were positive, against 95 percent overall, and those are 15 percent of everything written about it.

What players say

Good game for its time. I've played this plenty of times before i bought it here but i didn't remember all the frustrations i had from playing this game and one thing for sure, i've never had dozens of crashes and corrupted saves on the Alp mission. I also didn't remember the AI being the worst out there, both allied and the enemy AI barely even function. Your teammate will shoot an enemy 200m away as soon as they...

Requires a few community fixes to get running, but its worth it. Vietcong in WW2 but as the brits is the best way to describe it

Great game its just a real shame that the developer has been banished to the Mafia mines by 2k 2K and EA really are the death of creativity
