Enlisted is a massively multiplayer squad-based shooter set amid major battles of the Second World War. Instead of directing only one combatant, each player leads a squad of AI-controlled soldiers and can take over another member if the current soldier is lost. This makes squad leadership part of the game’s central battlefield perspective, rather than a separate layer of command.
Combat brings infantry together with vehicles, including tanks, armored cars, motorcycles and aircraft. A player can abandon a damaged vehicle and continue the fight on foot. Soldiers have distinct classes, perks and specialized weapons; listed tactics include flanking, sending paratroopers behind enemy lines, and building fortifications or gun emplacements. The settings range from Normandy and Berlin to Moscow and the Pacific, with battlefields, weapons, vehicles and uniforms varying according to choices of army and location.
Enlisted also gives players developer tools for making custom missions that can be launched on public servers. Its listed multiplayer categories include PvP and co-op, while the game’s defining format centers on online battles and squad command.
