![]() The battlefields were created through a mixture of satellite imagery and archival aerial photography to make them look as real as possible. Hell Let Loose features impressive attention to detail when it comes to uniforms, weapons, vehicles, and battlefields. You have to come together with other people to find a strategy that will lead you to victory. Like in Squad, your chances of success will rely heavily on communication with other members of your team. In Hell Let Loose, you’ll fight in some of the most iconic battlefields of World War II, including Carntan and Omaha Beach. Players are able to experience World War II combat from different perspectives by playing as a medic, engineer, officer, tank commander, and any of the other roles. You can choose one of the 14 available playable roles in Hell Let Loose. The RTS-inspired metagame will take your strategic planning to a whole new level. The only way to get resources is to have engineers build resource nodes. Each action you take has a cost and you need adequate resources to do it. In the metagame, you are in charge of everything from air strikes to tank deployments. What’s amazing about Hell Let Loose is that it features a unique metagame that allows players to make tactical decisions on a large scale. Hell Let Loose features outstanding graphics that make you feel like you’re on a real battlefield. The mechanics and visuals are incredibly similar to Squad, and the game is a hell of a lot of fun. Your first battle will take place at the Steam Store pages.Coming out a year after Squad, Hell Let Loose is an online multiplayer tactical first-person shooter in which teams of 50 players battle each other. I hope you’ve gotten plenty to think about here. The spawning mechanics were the main selling point for me, though the inability to swap weapons had the most negative impact on my gameplay. It feels just a tad more casual than Post Scriptum. Personally, I like Hell Let Loose just a little more. These were the big highlights for me when I decided which was better, Hell Let Loose or Post Scriptum. You’re kind of on your own in this regard, I don’t have any help to offer here other than to point it out as something to watch as time goes on. The games have the exact same price too, so neither has an advantage in gaining players that way. Meanwhile on Twitch, Post Scriptum has more followers, but less active viewers. Steam charts puts Hell Let Loose in the lead by hundreds more, but Hell Let Loose is the new shiny. Playerbase is a big factor when deciding between the two games, but figuring it out isn’t very easy. Hell Let Loose definitely scores high marks for visuals, especially its gritty looking mud. Not terrible, but more adequate than impressive. Post Scriptum is more of what you’d expect from a larger scale multiplayer game. Hell Let Loose has more colorful, detailed, and just overall better looking environments. Still being in Early Access of course means a lot of planned core features for Hell Let Loose are coming soon(tm). That’s a massive lead considering Hell Let Loose hasn’t even been out for a month. It’s to be expected since Post Scriptum is almost a year ahead in development time. It’s more feature complete than Hell Let Loose. It has more vehicle types available, more maps, and overall more options. More focus on the fight, and not the clock. There’s even garrison spawns that everyone can use. In Hell Let Loose, it’s set it and forget it. My biggest complaint is the need to consistently refresh the squad spawn point. It was a very punishing experience that almost turned me off completely. Running to the battle lines took more time than it did to get into position and die. I abhorred the spawning in Post Scriptum and even Squad when I first experienced them on a free weekend. Hell Let Loose has a better spawn system. Hefty points for Post Scriptum in this column. You could respawn with a new gun when pushing across hedgerows, and respawn with an SMG when the fighting flowed into a town. In Post Scriptum you have a couple of weapons to choose from for every class, squad leader included. Several battlefields have quite some distance on them, making SMGs considerably less than ideal. In Hell Let Loose when I played as squad leader, I was only able to use an SMG. Post Scriptum does have the goal of hitting 50 vs 50 eventually though, if that matters to you. ![]() I’ve always been a fan of more players, but honestly I can’t say I could really tell a difference. Post Scriptum is 40 versus 40 players, meanwhile Hell Let Loose is 50 versus 50 players. ![]()
