Online shooters like the Battlefield or CoD franchises are very popular, but competition is known to invigorate business – and this is where the announced online game Hell Let Loose comes into play.
Hell Let Loose claims to deliver a shooter experience like you have never seen before. Bold words, but the shown gameplay clips do indeed look promising. Whether it is really something you have “never seen before” is rather questionable.
Shooter and Tactics Game in One
The online shooter relies on tactics. Basically, it’s all about opening and maintaining supply lines. Without them, nothing works. Without supplies, you have no ammunition for your weapons and no fuel for the vehicles. Therefore, tactics are important on the huge maps where the front lines are constantly shifting.
You need to figure out how and where you can open supply lines. It’s not just about charging forward and taking out enemies, but about ensuring your own team is constantly supplied.
100 players fight per map in villages, forests, or open fields. You will also use vehicles, like tanks, which you must employ tactically to change the course of the war for your team.
As an infantry soldier, you can also intervene. In total, there are supposed to be 13 classes, each with a specific role to fulfill.
Kickstarter Campaign Aims to Secure Funding
Currently, a Kickstarter campaign for the online shooter Hell Let Loose is taking place. By October 30th, at least 136,000 Australian dollars need to be raised so that the development of the shooter can be financed.
The goal was nearly reached at the time this news was written. Hell Let Loose is set to be released next year. A closed alpha is planned for the first quarter of 2018, followed by a closed beta and early access in the second quarter.
Andreas says:
Hell Let Loose looks pretty cool. The underlying metagame with the supply lines also sounds interesting. However, how it plays out and whether it all turns into chaos will be seen at least in the alpha. Until then, I will definitely keep an eye on Hell Let Loose.
