Never in my gaming life have I found a game quite like Soldat. As a gamer, my favorite genres are platforming and shooter, and online play is a must for me. Soldat manages to combine all three of my loves of gaming, and still be fun in the process. The maps are awesome! It surprised me how strategic this game was, and, for the first time in a side-scrolling shooter, I had to actually think about what was happening and how to best deal with the situation. This layer of strategy makes the game replayable to infinity... and beyond! The weapons system is easy to use and understand. You may want to charge in with your shiny minigun, but that may not be the best idea. You have to find a weapon that works for you, and this is something that even some retail games fail to do. Although playing against real people online is definitely better, bots can be fun too. So, if you're new to this game, the bots can help you and be fun at the same time. Again, something many retail games fail to do. The graphics are OK, but aren't important to the game. Lastly, the controls are spot-on, from movement to shooting to flying, making the gaming experience all the better. Great controls are, for the third time, something that many retail games fail to do. Character customization is included, and it includes everything. While not the best ever, being able to change the look of your character is a feature that some retail games fail to include (man I sound like a broken record here.) If you haven't figured it out yet, I really like Soldat. So much, in fact, that I can safely say that it's one of my favorite games I've ever gotten freeware. And I've gotten a lot of freeware games. I can also say that this game is better than a lot of games on the market today. So, if you're looking for an addicting game that you can pour your life into, get Soldat.
