Who forgot to lock the door to the port-a-loo?īut, if you’re willing to put up with the aforementioned gameplay loop and some janky combat, the overall experience of Battle Cry of Freedom is genuinely remarkable because it makes you feel like you’re actually in an 1800’s battle. All these things mean that fans of Call of Duty, or even Squad, likely won’t have a good time with this title. Battle Cry of Freedom doesn’t play like a game released in 2022 the shooting isn’t particularly satisfying, the animations aren’t great, the graphics leave a bit to be desired and there’s an unsurprising amount of downtime each round. Just like in Mount and Blade’s 2012 DLC (or the more recent Holdfast: Nations at War) this gameplay loop isn’t for everyone, nor is the actual quality of the game. If you somehow survive, you’ll spend twenty seconds reloading your gun before you repeat the process, and if you die, you’ll simply respawn and rejoin your team. To do that, each time you spawn, you’ll move to be about fifty metres away from your enemies, fire your single blackpowder gun’s shot, and then charge into an all-out melee until you’re killed. Each round, you load into a massive map as either a Confederate or a Union soldier, and with your team, try to take objectives from the enemy or defend your own. If you’ve played Mount and Blade : Warband - Napoleonic Wars (which developer Flying Squirrel Entertainment also made), you’ll know what to expect with this game. From a gameplay perspective, it's a serious multiplayer-only American Civil War battle simulator.
