Review summary

Firefight offers an engaging and realistic WWII strategy experience with a good variety of maps and factions, praised for its depth and regular updates. However, multiple reviews note issues with AI pathfinding, especially with tanks, unbalanced defense mechanics favoring attackers, and missing features like air support and defensive structures. While the game is complex and rewarding, its controls and UI can be challenging, and some players express frustration over pricing for additional content.

Pros

Realistic and immersive WWII strategy gameplay experience.
Wide variety of factions, maps, and units spanning different theaters of World War II.
Tactical depth including use of fire support like mortars and artillery and infantry maneuvers.
Constant improvements and regular updates with added content.
Good graphics and detailed unit models, praised for simulating true WWII combat.

Cons

Tank and unit AI pathfinding and maneuvering issues, including tanks ignoring targets or taking inefficient routes.
Defending gameplay is unbalanced and difficult compared to attacking.
Lack of certain gameplay features such as air support, placeable defensive structures, and target priority.
Some controls can be clunky or over-engineered, and the UI has a learning curve with limited tutorial support.
Pricing concerns regarding map packs and DLC being expensive or having content locked behind purchases.

2025-01-25	Sl*****	So many great improvements have been made. But command placement is still all jacked up and it doesn't seem like the enemy troops maneuver. Should also have an option to choose a hull and main gun directions. This game has so much potential. It's not quite close combat but it's slowly getting there. The fact that this game is on the play store is amazing. Thx for making this game and updating it.

2025-01-25	Se*****	I absolutely love this game. My main issue is the pathfinding and other movement stuff with the soldiers and vehicles is a little clunky but other than that it's a fantastic game. I love the mechanics and style and the controls are great. The main things I want to see are new maps for all the theatres (Bulge, Ardennes, iwo jima, etc.), supply trucks, water having a purpose (amphibious, invasions, ships), and planes (bombing, recon, light attackers, etc). But amazing game, keep it up!
