Day of Infamy Review

It may sound strange when I say that Day of Infamy has set its foundation in 2007. Yes, you read well and no, math does not cheat you - a decade ago began the process for which this title got the chance to develop into a full-fledged game. But before you think about using a virtual paper that balances nonsense, let me explain through the short lines exactly what I mean because Day of Infamy is a product of an interesting cycle that is not seen in the gaming industry.

Namely, in the fall of 2007, Light Insurgency: Modern Infantry Combat saw its life thanks to the Source engine. Although the mode did not become planetary popular with millions of players (a month later CoD4 came to the market), it gathered a large enough community to enjoy the faster, realistic battles in the Middle East. A quick jump forward and 2014, Insurgency was once again available, but now as a stand-alone title with the ability to create modes. The game that you just read has become a fashion where, due to the great interest of the audience, and later with the blessing of Valve, the development started towards an independent title.

Not forgetting their roots and with the vision of developers who want to set up a platform for modding this game, but also at the Early Access stage, it was possible to download the modes. Who knows, maybe someone else will make a quality and popular modification that will later become a stand-alone title, but we will not think about future times anymore. It has long been known that the golden age of virtual presentations of warfare between 39 and 45 passed, but Day of Infamy did not turn back looking for inspiration, but from the outset it represents its vision of tyranny.
In short lines this would be a faster gameplay where the guns whistle through mostly urban environments, and one bullet can send players two feet below ground. It is precisely this balance between a realistic and arcade approach that is greatly affected, as at the same time it can be enjoyed by players looking for a good way to relax with those who prefer a more tactical puff.





"Great balance between realistic and arcade approaches is a game that is fun for tactical puffing, as well as relaxation."

The same basis of the game is based on a class system between the allied forces and the German army, with the possibility of unlocking additional units such as the Royal Fusiliers, the 2nd Ranger Battalion, the 3rd Panzergrenadier Divison ... So the classic, already seen system in many other team-oriented titles, but with one with an interesting exception or perhaps better with a newspaper.

Namely, the commander of the team to be able to fully exploit the advantages of his class like the artillery attack must have an attachment next to him. On the other hand, the mistress has to monitor the commander all the time, making fun of the symbiosis between the two classes, especially when full members play them. Of course, the rest of the army has its own advantages with different weapons, among which the flamethrower is for those who like to literally burn and flourish on the battlefield.





Developers should praise what the units are talking about with accents corresponding to their geographic location, so the talk between Scottish and American soldiers differs greatly, which contributes to the atmosphere in the field. German soldiers also shout in a native language that is comfortable to hear instead of speaking English with German accent. This is especially noticeable when the maximum number of players on the map is reached, and the action spins around the task. It is then best to feel the atmosphere of the Second World War that is totally affected although the visual play is not as we expected in the current year. In addition, there are other tiny details such as fine-tuned sound when the Garage box is depleted and an opponent can react appropriately to the resulting situation.

"After Battlefield 1 this looks like a jump from a donkey horse, but it can play on older computers as well."

The second feature of this title, although it should not be emphasized as something positive but rather in a neutral sense, is the use of Source. After we've seen Battlefield 1 and his graphic glitter, Day of Infamy looks below average. It's nothing bad, but in this case, if you've played EA's flywheel, this is literally a jump from a donkey horse.

Of course, the graphics do not make the game so the atmosphere is pretty good in terms of getting you into what's going on on the screen. The other side of the coin when it comes to Source is technical stability and older computers can spin it without any problems. Additionally, when it comes to online multiplayer titles, Source's network component has been tested heavily and widely so there is no problem in that field.





In addition to network stability, the feeling of puffing is nice, so it makes no sense to write that every weapon provides a different experience when you are facing an opponent and pressed the button on a mouse. Additionally, we are still in 2017, so if it comes to teammaking with an emphasis on a certain dose of realism, standards must be respected. Even when the combination of previous experience of developers in this field is included, Day of Infamy certainly has its own specific feel for puppet presentations. Without it getting too long, everyone here can find something for themselves because the weapon palette is quite different with regard to the period.

"Most folders can be played in all available modes, although folders are not best balanced for each type of play."

The most significant complaint I could refer to the game relates to modes and folders. Namely, most maps can be played almost in all available gameplay modes. This in translation means that not every one of them always comes to the fore if the folder is not best balanced for a certain type of play. It's not easiest to balance ten available folders by offering the same number of gameplay modes.

Although it can be said that nowadays there is some standard for games to arrive with dozens of folders, a greater number would certainly be better, and even some of them are exclusive to certain modes. However, the design of the folder is quite diverse, so running around Italy, France and Germany has its own charm though graphic - as already mentioned, it is not what everyone would expect when looking at other FPS titles.





The greatest disadvantage that can be attributed to is the cooperative part. On the one hand, it is understandable that developers want to offer as diverse content as possible, so everyone can play what is best suited to him, but artificial intelligence does not provide fun on long runs. They know how to bend some awesome moments, but it's far from the challenges and feelings of tension that gives rise to a conflict with live players.
Due to its specificity and without pumping significant financial resources into marketing, Day of Infamy falls under the category of titles whose popularity will not reach the massive levels, but will keep people memorable for the fun gameplay.

Therefore, it is easy to say that the developers did their job successfully because they provided us with a game where the party is present from the first step when it comes to the battlefield. This is why this game is where virtually all fans of online gambling will enjoy, especially if they are weak in the period in which the game is taking place. Even when it comes to modalities in preparation, like the launching of the First World War tails, content for the future will not fail.
