BATTALION: Legacy is a World War II-themed first-person shooter built around compact multiplayer matches. Players fight for forces including the United States, Germany, Britain, and the Soviet Union.
Its 5v5 Search & Destroy mode pits attackers against defenders, with the first team to win eight rounds taking the match. Other modes include Team Deathmatch and rifle-only matches.
Players can choose from an arsenal of more than 30 period weapons, from bolt-action rifles to submachine guns. Dedicated servers are available for players to host.
In the supplied reviews, players who enjoy the game often praise its responsive shooting and old-school WWII shooter feel, along with tense Search & Destroy matches and weapon variety. Some also enjoy playing against bots. A recurring frustration is that sparse online lobbies make it difficult to find other players, and some reviews criticize the end of official support or missing features.
