Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
83 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
What makes Broken Arrow so good is how well it captures modern warfare while keeping the gameplay understandable.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It still delivers one of the best modern combat RTS experiences currently available, but $50 is a steep entry point for newcomers, especially with the lack of major sales, the game’s current issues, and the need for more content to keep the experience fresh.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I love the core idea, the setting in a near-future Baltic conflict, the incredible deck-building system, the stunning graphics and unit detail, and above all the pure feeling of thinking about playing Broken Arrow.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Honestly, I enjoy it quite a lot now, when you can play co-op vs AI
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The deck building gives endless variety, the visuals and sound design are top-tier, and the tactical depth can keep you hooked for hundreds of hours if the technical side ever catches up.
