Days Of War, World War 2 FPS Graduates From Early Access January 30th

Driven Arts and Graffiti Games originally launched Days Of War into Early Access on Steam back in January of 2017. The developers recently announced that the game is scheduled to graduate from Early Access at the end of the month on January 30th.

In the press release they re88vealed that the full game will be priced at $24.99 and there will be massive overhaul to the game’s content and features.

The content overhaul includes all new maps, all new weapons, and a map editor that will allow players to build their very own multiplayer maps.

Accompanying the announcement is a trailer featuring the multiplayer PvP content, which you can scope out below.

The gameplay is themed around the typical fast-and-furious first-person shooter antics that we’ve come to expect from multiplayer PvP titles.

The game contains everything from bolt-action rifles to automatic machine guns, and everything else in between. There’s a total of 60 different weapons you can utilize. Players will do battle across 12 different maps while being able to choose from four different countries doing battle against one another.

To help graft some replayability onto the core gameplay offerings, there’s a modding feature that creative types will be able to utilize in order to make new maps, weapons, skins, and more.

I don’t know if this will be enough to win back over the people who gave up on the game due to a lack of updates, but it appears to be a last ditch effort to make amends for the poor content roll out.

Days of War - Explosion

At the moment the game has a “Mixed” user review rating on Steam because the biggest issue is that a lot of people have abandoned the game since Days of War is a multiplayer-only game. Once the content updates became sparse, players flocked to other titles, and since it lacks bots or any sort of offline single-player content, there was no reason for loyalists to stick around. So the main problem is that without a regular pool of players to keep the game occupied, there’s no reason to play it at all.

This is always the danger of multiplayer-only indie games. Hopefully there are plans to implement bots or maybe an industrious member of the community will take it upon themselves to mod bots into the game. Whichever the case, even when Days of War does graduate from Early Access on January 30th, there may not be many people showing up for the grand graduation.
