It Takes A War is the weirdest thing I've played all year, and it's already proving to be one of 2025's top-rated FPS games on Steam.

This new Steam FPS looks like a low-budget Counter-Strike, but I'm begging you to go in blind

My claymation game is inspired by:

- Red Dead Redemption
- Mad Max
- Gears of War

A lone gunslinger and his loyal mutt trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic West.

Kickstarter launches in 3 days!

I played a new Online FPS from @pantaloon.io !

I have opinions though, the servers seem weird, buggy...haunted even??

I've just pushed an update to It Takes a War that will hopefully fix any remaining texture issues people were having. I've tested it as thoroughly as I can but please let me know if you experience any issues as a result of this patch. 🙂

It takes a War is closing in on the 50 review mark - currently sitting at 93% positive.

Come for the ‘pretty poor counter strike clone’, stay for the ‘powerfully moving piece of art’ 📶

One thing we hear consistently about despelote is how much its writing resonates with people around the world—it's a personal story, in the best way.

ICYMI, yesterday we launched It Takes a War - the new tactical team shooter (!?) from @freeze.ltd

If the game has confused you (good, we've done our job) this review from @ripefly.bsky.social / @rogue.site hits lots of nails on lots of heads and is a fantastic piece

Rolled credits on "It Takes a War" after reading this review and can confirm this is the best way to do it unless you go in completely blind.

Great stuff! Relevant and transfixing.

Had a lovely afternoon reading this great little review, learning about a game I had never heard of, then playing said game. Games writing! It's good! (And so is "It Takes a War")

The ultra realistic graphic and pure combat of It Takes a War have to experienced to be believed.

@ripefly.bsky.social your It Takes a War review is really something, Jeffrey. As an ex games writer I’m getting those old pangs of jealousy kicking in knowing I could never pen anything as good. Thanks for checking it out!

“I don’t want to talk about It Takes a War because It Takes a War is an experience that I don’t want to take away from anyone.

I want to talk about It Takes a War with everyone I can because it is a powerfully moving piece of art. I am both of these things”

Gosh @rogue.site this review is sublime
