What is Soldat? Well, why spend 10 minutes writing long paragraphs explaining how I feel about this game, when I could sum it up in one word?

If I had to choose, the word would be "AWESOME".

...

Okay, fine, I'll write a long review anyway.

Soldat is a fast-paced 2D shooter where you can play online or offline. Unlike most games, the AI in this game is actually quite skilled, but online play is still the tops when it comes to playing this game. The game bears the classic WASD controls I've grown to love, and operates very smoothly. There are 6 game types are available. Such as: Deathmatch, Teammatch, Pointmatch, Rambomatch, Capture The Flag and Infiltration [One Way CTF] and tons of weapons, like the Desert Eagle, AK74, Spas 12, Ruger, M79, Barret, and even a minigun, plus tons of others. There are primary weapons and secondary weapons, leaving plenty of options and combinations to try out until you find the perfect match. You can spar with the AI or test your skills online. You can also register to open more options, but registering is a luxury - not really necessary, but may enhance gameplay for some. You can also customize your character. You can do simple things like changing his name, to a bit more excessive things, like whether or not he has dog tags, or has a Mohawk.

The sound effects in this game are very good - they're crisp, clear, and every weapon has a distinct sound, from the buzzing of a chainsaw to the boom, chik-chik of a shotgun. The yells and sounds of blood of a fallen enemy splattering against the wall leaves you with a triumphant feeling, only to be interrupted by a playing coming behind you, and you suffer the same fate in an instant.

The graphics are well-detailed and the animation of characters jumping and rolling around is smooth, and overall very good, but nothing visually stunning. For such a small file size, this game's graphics sure pack a punch. Like I said, registering gives some enhancements, and the extra options for player looks and interfaces are a good example of that.

As soon as you start playing Soldat, you either like it or don't. Chances are, you'll love this game, because it's very good, as the score, as well as the other user reviews, clearly exemplify. Soldat is a fun, yet simple, gaming delicacy, and with such a file size as only 12 MB, what have you got to lose? Other than hours a day, playing this cruelly addictive game!

10/10
