A 2022/2023 review of Hell Let Loose by RedcoatViking - A leading expert in the field of Hell Let loose research and shinanigans.
Have you ever heard of a game called Hell Let Loose? Well I have, and I’ve played it for about a thousand hours, but this video’s for those people that don’t know what it is. Those few who are yet to experience this awesome team based shooter first hand in all its cinematic and bloody glory, where your ability to communicate effectively with your squad mates is just as important as your aim. A game that turns boys into men and women into hairier women, a game that started out as a niche indie fps and turned into one of the biggest, most successful shooters of all time, because today we’re gonna be answering 2 very important questions... What the fudge is Hell Let Loose, and is it worth playing as we go into 2023? Also I’m doing this review based on the PC version of the game but you can also get it on PS5 and XBOX and most of it should translate to the console versions as well. Let’s dive in!
So what is Hell Let Loose. Well despite what the name might suggest, it’s not a low budget version of DOOM and it doesn’t involve going to Hell or fighting any sort of demons, though to be honest that would be pretty cool.
No instead this game is a gritty, match based first person team-based shooter set during the second world war that’s all about recreating those epic, cinematic moments we’ve all seen in TV and movies like Saving Private Ryan and HBO’s Band of Brothers, where 100 players face off against each other in two teams of 50 with the goal of capturing all the enemy control points while successfully defending their own.
Players are divided into squads of up to 6 members, with each member playing one of several different classes, each with its own set of weapons and tools that you can use to give your team an edge during a match, and every squad has its own squad leader whose job it is to lead and assist squad members while coordinating with other squad leaders as well as the overall commander of the team to hopefully out manoeuvrer, out-gun and overwhelm the enemy defenses.
One of the strongest aspects of the game in my opinion is the gun play and overall pace of each match. The weapon handling feels accurate, the projectile damage is lethal and there’s no cross hair so you need to use your gun’s hard sights, and yet anyone with experience in other shooters can jump in and instantly feel at home with the handling of most weapons, while still being accessible and intuitive enough for players completely new to the genre to be able to get the hang of it fairly quickly.
Think of this game as like a more hardcore version of Battlefield V, with a careful blend of realism, fun and challenging gameplay that comes together to create a really immersive experience. If you’ve ever heard of a similar game called Post Scriptum, it’s like that, but with a simplified logistics system faster paced gameplay, basically like a cosy middle ground between Battlefield and Post Scriptum, with handy built-in mechanics that limit each team to only 2 snipers, and tanks being restricted to players in a tank squad so not every Tom, Dick and Harry can jump in one and start wreaking havoc...
