It Takes a War is OUT NOW
The servers are spun up. The arsenal is stocked. The enemy is lining up at the frontline.
It's time to connect.
It Takes a War - which is OUT NOW! - has been confusing players and journalists a-like since it was announced in September. “Was the game made in 2001 or is it set in 2001?”, “So is just that one map like?" and “What tf am I looking at!?” are all things that have been asked since then.
Missed the latest trailer? Because it basically doesn’t clear any of those questions up at all. It makes things more confusing, if anything.
A Quick But Important Note
If possible, we recommend making sure you have enough time to play It Takes a War in one session as to not disappoint your teammates. A single playthrough of It Takes a War consists of around 45-60 minutes of playtime - so reserve that time in full, if you're able.
What People Are Saying...
We expect ITAW to be somewhat divisive. We know it's not going to be what some people expect. And that's fine! That said, lots of people have been saying lots of very nice things about the game. This review from Rogue.site in particular just gets it, so I wanted to share a little quote.
"I don’t want to talk about It Takes a War because It Takes a War is an experience that I don’t want to take away from anyone. I want to talk about It Takes a War with everyone I can because it is a powerfully moving piece of art. I am both of these things.
...It Takes a War is an utterly forgettable FPS. I haven’t stopped thinking about It Takes a War since I beat it."
Other nice words that have been said:
📶 "The team-based tactical shooter genre has never felt more realistic."
📶"Absolutely play this and look up nothing"
📶"An experience that I didn't think would hit as hard as it did but it did!"
📶"this ♥♥♥♥ is too real man."
📶 "Go in with no expectations and ready to be taken on a journey and you won't be disappointed"
📶"I shot a rat until it exploded"
