War, war never changes. Well, it at least doesn't change all that much in the video game industry, especially when it comes to the FPS genre.
The likes of Call of Duty and Battlefield are the go-to FPS for many gamers. However, if you like classic World War II games that offer gruelling difficulty, then look no further than Hell Let Loose developed by Cover 6 Studios and Expression Games. Unlike popular twitch shooters in the genre, if you attempt to go all guns blazing in Hell Let Loose, you will fail epically. Hell Let Loose is a game in which patience, strategy and teamwork are of the utmost importance.

“We’re so excited to see you on the frontlines in Patch 14.5! Battle on El Alamein requires you to adapt to new dynamics - dusk sees the map permeated with fog - paving the way for different approaches to becoming the victor.

See you on the field.”
