Hell Let Loose is a realistic MMO shooter for PC that throws you into massive battles as a soldier in World War II. You are just a small part of the whole, and you must achieve victory through teamwork and persistence.
Behind the somewhat strange name “Hell Let Loose” lies an upcoming MMO shooter set during World War II.
Unlike in Call of Duty: WW2 , it is not about short-lived multiplayer action. Rather, Hell Let Loose tries to realistically simulate a large battle and its associated campaign, orienting itself more towards games like Planetside or Heroes and Generals.
Hell Let Loose – Campaigns instead of Battles
In Hell Let Loose, you as a player are just a small part of a large force. Up to 50 players per side compete against each other to capture sectors. You can not only play as soldiers but also as commanders to set the strategy and distribute war resources like ammunition or tank fuel. These are limited, and you might miss them later when it comes to the final offensive.
In combat, you can also be an officer and specifically coordinate the troops on site and implement the commander’s strategy. Without teamwork and good communication, not much will work in Hell Let Loose. In the actual combat, the developers from Black Matter focus on realistic weapons and vehicles from the WW2 era. For example, the feared MG42, the legendary Tiger tank, or the American Sherman tanks and Tommy guns.
Hell Let Loose – Initially only US Army and Wehrmacht
Hell Let Loose is expected to launch in early 2018 on Steam as a PC exclusive. The game uses the Unreal Engine 4. At release, it will focus on the invasion of the Western Front in 1944 by the Allies. Therefore, only the Wehrmacht will initially fight against the US Army. Later, other theaters of war, as well as the Red Army and the Imperial Japanese Army, are expected to be included.
What do you think of the idea behind Hell Let Loose? Would you want to play such a complex game, or do you prefer the short-lived shootouts in Call of Duty or Battlefield? And do you think this ambitious project will work out and many players will coordinate effectively? Let us know in the comments!
