Even genre giants such as Call of Duty, which are mostly known for their online player versus player modes, contain an offline solo campaign. You could perfectly encapsulate beautiful Italian landscapes, engage in treacherous mountain warfare, and survive poisonous gas attacks without having to be a multiplayer-only experience. This continues to be a huge disappointment because when I think of historically accurate portrayals of World War I, which is the theme that the developers seem to reiterate the most, I think of narrative-driven single-player experiences. Isonzo follows in the same light as its previous two predecessors as it is a multiplayer-only game, so don’t expect to find a single player campaign. While it’s admirable for Isonzo to attempt to offer a more authentic simulation compared to other genre rivals, it fails to create an experience that’s fun, beginner friendly, or sustainable in the long run. Blackmill’s Isonzo aims to capture that historical event through player-versus-player squad based first person shooting. The Battles of Isonzo were a series of battles between the Italian and Austro-Hungarian armies alongside the Isonzo River on the eastern side of the Italian Front between 19. Developer Blackmill Games, the studio behind Tannenberg and Verdun, is now releasing the third game in their WW1 Game Series with Isonzo. With the video game market oversaturated with modern day first person shooters, it’s refreshing to see a developer dedicate their games to represent historically accurate encounters from World War I.
