Jeu trop répétitif avec un mode en ligne absolument vide. Vous pourrez quand même jouer avec des bots, mais bon ils sont encore plus inutiles que sur Payday The Heist. Les ennemis sont à la fois stupides et imprévisibles, avec des mouvements très étranges. De plus sur certains niveaux le jeu lag.

Where to start, game looks ok, it has xbox 360 graphics. The AI is about as smart the AI you get when you call a company, that is it sucks. Invisible walls on random terrain so the actual level size is shrunk and railroads you so exploration is very little.

This game is rushed slop. this game in 2026 is a waste of $15 CAD. Game is super unoptimized, fps stutters 247, no matter the settings or tweaks you do. Stealth is sub par, imgaine grinding until level 22 to unlock a supressed pistol and if somebody is within 5-10 feet of you, you get detected if you fire it. Not only is it the only supressed weapon but it's close to useless unless used as a sniper from range but if you miss youre detected. Enemies will detect you even above or under you. the recent rework for all the skills made the already horrible game slightly better, but in my personal opinion, just buy payday 2 for the same price and use mods and you'll have way more content and enjoyment. game is very lack luster and feels like a early access game not a game that came out in 2017 ffs....

I rarely play multiplayer-focused games, but this one feels a bit like a multiplayer game for people tired of other multiplayer games :)

The game is very plug-n-play and you can enjoy it right from the start, even when your level is still pretty low and you don't yet have many unlocks.

The unlock system itself is robust enough to give you something to look forward to, but it doesn't overshadow the running and gunning experience. I still felt like I'm playing this game bc shooting feels good, the maps are cool, and it's fun to mess around with a friend in coop... and the occasional unlocks are a small bonus on the side, not the main motivation to push forward.

Most enemies are a bit bulletspongy, and the game can spawn dozens of them at the time, which sometimes can be overwhelming... but most of the time there's a fair amount of challenge.
And clearing a section (or the whole level) just with knives in coop is very satisfying :D

Weapons look good, are well animated and feel good to use... although some are definitely stronger than others. Which is fine too, I guess I like it more than everything being so perfectly balanced that it becomes boring. Try few of them, choose which one you like the most and try to stick witch it for a while, so the unlocks start to pile-up.

Comedy cutscenes with real actors imo have some Red Alert vibes. They are lightweight campy humor, and game will even serve you a different one, depending if you won or lost the round :) Cool :)

I'm yet to hit the higher difficulty levels and see if the mechanics actually combine into a coherent system, but even now I'm very much enjoying it - the game looks alright, sounds good, the tone and atmosphere are quite immersive, shooting is very much satisfying, there is some build variety - althouh I cannot attest if it holds up on Hard/Very Hard -, and the simplicity doesn't come off as a lack of effort, moreso the resources. Even then, I'm having fun and planning to stick around to at least get comfortable on Hard.

upd. It's alright. A bit simple, repetitive, but worth the pricetag. Distinct enough from PD2, the blend of genre and setting feels unique.

Don't fall for the shill on youtube telling you the game is good. The game is playable, but with a dead playerbase you will mostly spend time playing solo. The bots are pretty tanky compared to payday 2 counterpart, but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ they would just stand around doing nothing while enemies are shooting. Especially when you are in cover, which is 90% what you will be doing due to how the enemy AI works solo.

Enemy prioritizes you instead of friendly tanky AI all the time, this means that everytime you move out of cover the enemies will point at you. You can sort of outsmart this by hiding behind allies, but they also move so it's inconsistent. When playing 4 people, the enemy AI will split their attention evenly, but solo play is atrocious because all objectives forces you to be out of cover and interact for a bit. Not to mention the LACK of covers in a lot of areas. Not to mention very small weapon clip and very very rare health pickups meaning you will be spending most of your time solo sticking in cover and moving cover to cover while staying crouch all the time. I do not know why they made it so that friendly AI are more aggressive, considering now that the game is even more dead that the DEVS are moving to PD2. They say they are still "working" on the game, but they clearly play this with their own friends instead of trying out solo.

Not to mention, there are also a lack of "cooperative" skill other than "sharing of buffs" on some skills. So does that mean there are a lot of solo skills? NO, because 80% of the skills are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ useless in combat with higher level skill require you to get the buff by LOSING. Like getting extra buffs when DOWNED, when you could only be down for 3 times before you are out. That's on single player too (some medkits are scattered that help you heal this down, but you will be downing a lot in single player). Some of the skills are laughable in a way that dumb down the game further. Like getting extra reload speed when you empty out the whole clip, meaning there is no incentives to use regular reload or that if your regularly reload your gun before the clip is empty (which are faster since you didn't have to ♥♥♥♥ the barrel) you will not get full benefit of the skill. Some of the skills require you to play melee / secondary, but with how the AI don't get full attention during solo play, you literally are walking to a spot where all enemies prioritize on you.

I don't get it, if you know that the game is "dead" then make the bot useful or at least tank up all the damage. Otherwise solo is very slow and extend mission time by 3x because you will need to move cover to cover. If you don't want to fix the AI, go put on some damn marketing and make it free to play already. Nobody is going to buy this game, might as well give it away to everyone and then just get money from the super special edition.

Honestly, kinda one of the worst experience I've ever witnessed
Teleporting guards right at the places where there were none of them on the entire map on stealth (killing all the guards on the Kelly map with friends without the alarm, and the scripts decides that "Oh... dude, you're too op, have this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ right away:" and they spawn tons of them at the edge of the map)
On the Odin's Fall mission (on stealth) some guard just raised an alarm, because... because the other one farted too loudly and he got scared of it... I don't know what else to think, because I haven't killed anyone on the surface, and was at the top of the... uh... "castle", just getting ready to set the bombs. And other more "Top 100 funniest moments in gaming history" I didn't mention, but damn... this sucks
Though you can still enjoy the game, I'm quite a fan of Payday myself, but the game is obviously too raw and uh... yeah... still sad it didn't get enough support so therefore it is what it is.

Primero que nada debo que aclarar que tengo [u]casi 3.000 horas en el Payday 2 y 1.000 en el Payday: The Heist[/u] y he jugado bastante a las [u]versiones antiguas del PD2:[/u] [b]u2, u23, u37, u99 por lo que soy un dogor papaya.[/b]
[u]Además compré esto cuando el juego estaba roto y vi como fue evolucionando.[/u]

El juego actualmente consiguió redimirse y es bastante divertido, el sistema de habilidades fue rehecho y ahora es mucho más cómodo, mejoraron la optimización y añadieron unos cuantos mapas nuevos.
Y no, este juego no es un clon de Payday 2 pero en la segunda guerra mundial, es un híbrido raro entre PD:TH y PD2.

[h3]Diferencias con Payday 2[/h3]
[b]Este juego es más cooperativo[/b], no todo se resume en matar, el equipo tiene que coordinarse para hacer los objetivos de la manera más rápida y eficaz posible. [u]De lo contrario te van a papear[/u], por lo menos en "difícil" y "muy difícil" es así.

[b]Hay 4 clases: Recon, Demo, Insurgente y Asalto[/b], cada una se juega distinto y aporta algo al equipo, sin contar que hay habilidades exclusivas de cada clase.
Si te aburres de una clase puedes cambiarla en el campamento, también puedes personalizar tu personaje cambiándole la ropa (Idea que Payday 2 robó XD)

Ah y aquí puedes llevar más de una bolsa, con habilidades y también depende de la clase.

[b]Por ejemplo:[/b] Recon es el tirador del equipo y puede cubrir desde lejos mientras los demás hacen los objetivos, Demo(Deidad) elimina fácilmente grupos grandes de enemigos y Flamers mientras Asalto e Insurgente pueden rushear a hacer objetivos.

[h3]Recursos[/h3]
[b]No hay bolsas médicas o de munición, en lugar hay recursos.[/b]
Durante las misiones verás que hay [b]objetos de colores al abrir cajas o matar enemigos: verde, rojo y azul.
Munición, medicina y granadas[/b] respectivamente, son [u]"""limitados"""[/u] por lo que tendrás que administrar cuando tomarlos.

[h3]Derribos/caídas/downs[/h3]
La mecánica aquí también existe, para recuperarlas tendrás que buscar [b]kits de reanimación[/b] los cuales están en cajas cerradas o muy rara vez lo sueltan los enemigos al morir.
[u]Recomiendo que instales el mod [url=https://modworkshop.net/mod/24551]"WolfgangHUD"[/url] para que te marque cuales son estos kits y así no tomarlos por accidente.[/u]

[h3]Armas y modificaciones[/h3]
Hay bastante variedad de armas y la mayoría son competentes en dificultades altas.
[b]Es sistema es sencillo[/b], desbloqueas un arma cada X niveles y para desbloquear mods tienes que subirla de nivel haciendo los desafíos que te pide, tipo "Mata 50 enemigos con disparos a la cabeza" o "Mata 25 Snipers o Spoters"
[u]Si no te gusta como se ve tu arma mejorada puedes ir a la mesa de armero y quitar esa modificación sin perder la mejora de estadística, como en PD:TH[/u]

[h3]Mapas o misiones[/h3]
[b]La mayoría están buenos, la variedad está bien y no son tan complejos[/b], aunque hay algunos (4 en específico) en los que si quieres llevarte todo el loot vas a tener que jugar con 4 personas si o sí... o usar un mod para que los bots puedan llevar bolsas en la espalda [url=https://modworkshop.net/mod/50170]"Bots Have Feelings - Reborn" [/url]

[h3]Mods y Conectividad[/h3]
Puedes modear el juego y jugar online sin problemas, necesitas [url=https://modworkshop.net/mod/49744]"Raid-SuperBLT"[/url] para poner la mayoría de los mods.
El juego usa [b]Conexión "peer-to-peer" o "P2P"[/b] lo cual significa que no depende de servidores, en resumen [u]siempre que Steam siga vivo vas a poder jugar online. [/u]

[h3]Algunos puntos negativos que tiene el juego[/h3]
[list]
[*]En dificultades altas a veces el spawn de enemigos es algo alto, no es como pd2 que tira enemigos a cada rato, pero si le bajan un poquito no estaría mal.
[*]El grindeo para mejorar las armas a veces es demasiado...
[*]Algunos mapas tienen rendimiento regular, aunque esto probablemente lo solucionen en el futuro.
[*]Los bots son mediocres, aguantan bastante pero casi ni ayudan, a no ser de que instales el mod
[url=https://modworkshop.net/mod/50170]"Bots Have Feelings - Reborn" [/url]
[*]Poca variedad de enemigos especiales.
[*]Pocos jugadores activos, unos 5-25 aproximadamente. Aunque la comunidad es amable, en lo que llevo jugando no encontré gente tóxica.
[*]Aveces crashea, no pasa regularmente, y lo más probable es que sean algunos mods que tengo instalados.
[/list]

[h2]Entonces ¿Vale la pena en 2025/2026? [/h2]
[b]Sí, pero solo si jugaste Payday ya sea el TH o el 2, si tienes mínimo un amigo que también haya jugado y si el juego está en oferta.
[u](Esto último recomendado más si eres de Argentina XD) [/u] [/b]

[h1] Puntuación final: 8/10 Blammo's - Sterling besto personaje. [/h1]

Obligatory "Steam pls gib sideways thumb option"

A decent enough idea that was sadly not executed well enough. If you played Payday, this is it but with far less content in a WWII setting.

The idea of a 4 player co-op Inglorious Basterds style FPS could work quite well and I can praise the missions in Raid for being somewhat varied, however, this doesn't always translate into enjoyable gameplay.

Adding on to that, most of Raid's 'unique' features would be ported over into Payday 2, quite a few before Raid even released, which was likely an attempt from the devs to share what cool things they could do with the godawful Diesel Engine, but ultimately screwed them over, as things like drivable vehicles, fire damage, active skills, larger, open maps, usable turrets and more would probably have done more to set Raid apart if these things had not been in Payday 2.

As it stands, Raid is basically just "The failed WWII Payday spinoff" and will probably remain as such, even with the updates it is now once again receiving, it will probably have a small (possibly in parts ironic) cult following of mostly Payday veterans, but don't expect to see thousands of players online.

That said, for the price, it is an okay game, especially since, at the time of writing this review, there is no paid DLC that impacts gameplay, however the smaller selection of weapons, raids and customization items may leave a lot to be desired and the lack of mods compared to its older brother will also no doubt turn you off.

If you can convince a group of friends to give this one a go, I suspect you will have fun, at least until the novelty wears off. I'd recommend getting Payday 2 instead, but if you want something that's kinda like that, but also just different enough for it to give you that breath of fresh air, I say go for it. Plus, it's probably cheaper than the DLC for Payday 2!

Take this from someone with 1000+ hours on Payday 2, this game is absolutely worth at least 200 hours of your time, and for this reason, even though I know it won't win, I'm nominating this textbook definition of a Labor of Love for the Steam awards 2025. You legends deserve it more than most other nominees, and I hope that when you guys are finished making waves with Payday, this game gets some love later again.

Brevemente: El juego es entetenido y se esta reactivando en contenido (no se si en cantidad de jugadores del multiplayer).

Partiendo de aquella frase que dice "toda comparación es odiosa", digamos que por parecerse, se parece más a payday the heist que a payday 2, y a la vez no tiene mucho en común. Ese es mi primer reflejo tomando en cuenta que llegué hace años a Raid a través de payday 2, y esperaba algunas cosas a las que malacostumbro ese juego: No hay equipamiento desplegable de curación o munición, lo cuál le da cierto grado de dificultad. Es un juego donde (usando catagorías de payday) predomina la modalidad loud antes que el sigilo, por lo que la imposibilidad de desplegar un kit de curación se hace sentir. Hay clases de enemigos (tiradores, coordinadores de artillería, lanzallamas, etc), pero no tan complejas como en payday.
Por otra parte, recolectar los "coleccionables" (dog tags) y botín durante una misión es desafiante (al meno para mí que soy bastante manco acá); las acciones, medio puzzle medio fuerza bruta a veces obligan a pensar (más que en payday); hay algo de humor en las escenas después de terminar misión, pero tampoco son las bromas super elaboradas

I'm definitely late to the party of playing this game. I wasn't there on it's release day. I don't even remember how I first found this game, but man am I glad that I did, and it's impressive what a dedicated three man team can do for a game that launched badly. I definitely recommend this game to anyone that likes PAYDAY.

GAMEPLAY:
Nothing much to say here, it's just satisfying to play, no gun or weapon feels like it's fighting against you, the feel of the weapons also feel good giving that oomf whenever you shoot. The perk system is also nice, it's not overly complex to understand but also not overly simple to make neat builds of your choice. Progress system is simple but that's never a bad thing, unlock more things as you level up, be it perks and/or weapons. The game has a good balance of not feeling vulnerable enough that you'd die instantly or invincible enough that you'd never die, the enemies give enough amount of challenge to not feel overwhelmed and if things get too heated you have a chance to run to take cover and recover before getting back into the fight.

GRAPHICS:
Obviously the graphics aren't the best but I wouldn't say it looks bad either, I'd say it gives it's own charm and not uneasy on the eyes to look at.

PERFORMANCE:
I play this game on Linux Mint (22.3) with GE-Proton-20 and it runs pretty well, but one downside that whenever I shoot it kills the FPS a bit, worse offender is when I use shotguns which is probably the game trying to process the amount of bullets being shot.

BUGS:
I haven't really come across many bugs, the only one that comes to mind that enemies are phasing/glitching through walls when they walk around the corner of the walls but that doesn't happen often.

CONTENT:
This game definitely lacks a bit of content when it comes of how many raids/heists/missions you can do, if you play this game from time to time and not that often then you'll be fine, but if you play this often then you'll feel you've practically done everything.

Overall a solid game brought back from it's lowest form by a dedicated team of [strike] modders [/strike] developers. Definitely can't wait when they'll get back to updating it. As at the time of me typing this, Sidetrack Games are busy with fixing and improving PAYDAY 2. Either way, grab a buddy and have fun.

The premise itself is an absolute bullseye: bunch of unwanted ruffians acting as vault raiders and saboteurs, set in the always fascinating World War 2. You really can’t go wrong, or so one would think, but Starbreeze is a modern-day Michelangelo in terms of bollockin’ up good ideas. It’s true, Raid had a bit of a rough launch, if we are to be polite, but those days are behind us now, thanks to the wonderful, wonderful efforts of Sidetrack games! Or MUG team as they were formerly called.

These days Raid WW2 is an absolute blast to play. It’s very reminiscent of the usual horde shooter à la Left 4 Dead, except with the enemies also having guns there is more emphasis on cover and interaction spanning both long range encounters as well as close quarter ones. There’s no proper campaign (though there is something adjacent to it). Instead you pick from list of missions that each play out almost as their own little episode or issue of some classic two-fisted pulp adventure. You have smaller missions like rescuing some spies from an airfield, robbing trains, or sneaking into a base to blow up some tiger tanks, to the large set pieces of storming a castle in search of intel or – naturally – breaking into a vault to steal enough gold to manifest dollar signs in your eyes à la Scrooge McDuck. There is a lot of variety, no two missions (or raids as they’re called) feel the same. You will mostly be shooting your way through these raids, though most missions will let you stealth around and get some progress done. Some even let you stealth all of it if you’re patient enough to try. Your methods are crude, so don’t expect to imitate Ashenden or anything, instead stealth involves knives, dragging corpses around, and best of all: chucking bars of gold at their heads. Nothing says stealth like 24 karat head trauma!

Playing loudly and brashly is however where the game really shines. There’s a very aggressive and fast-paced cadence to the general gameplay. You don’t have too much health really, and bullets can hurt. To compensate, there’s plenty of supplies scattered around the map, rewarding you to really check your perimeters, though a good chunk of your supplies will drop from the enemies you kill. The system is pretty neat because it accommodates all sorts of playstyles. You can be more considerate, using something like a sniper rifle to pick enemies from afar, and then roam around the map to find crates of ammo supplies to keep yourself going. Or you unleash your innermost barbaric yawp and charge into enemies with a shotgun, sub machine gun or even meleeing your way through the opposition, using the supplies they drop to keep your furnace of violence hot. The gunplay feels pretty damn satisfying, with there being some nice heft to the weapons (especially those throwable gold bars), and the double-barrelled shotguns make the enemies ragdoll quite wildly, if that’s your thing. Different maps benefit different playstyles, but all of them are at least functional even on the hardest difficulties.

There’s something to be said for the sheer variety of playstyles. It uses a pick-10 system, so you get to pick ten skills in addition to your primary, secondary, equipment, and standard-issue knife. You have to level up to unlock most of the slots, but it doesn’t take too long to get to a point where you have enough skill-slots to make some proper builds. One of these skills will be your “warcry” which is a potent, activate-able ability. Things like cluster grenades, wall-hacks, aimbot, unlimited magazines, etc. They’re fun. You might be tempted to compare them to ultimate abilities that plague a lot of modern shooters, and while they occupy the same design space, they are fortunately not SO strong that they warp the game around themselves. They will help you in a pinch, it feels good to use, but they’re complementary to the game, not the main course. The rest of your skills will be passive ones, and there’s a wide range of skills. The neat thing is that the passive skills are tiered. So the medic skill, for example, gives you more healing from healing supplies. But finishing raids with the skills equipped will eventually make them level up, and grant more benefits. It’s also not something as trite as just increasing the healing boost. Instead, the second tier also makes enemies target you less while you’re reviving allies, the third tier makes you revive faster, and the forth tier makes it so every time you pick up healing supplies, your entire team gets healed for a small bit. It’s really neat! You have your classic “increase swap speed and reload” skills, sure, but you also have more interesting ones that make you better at lockpicking, better at melee combat, able to carry more grenades as well as use them to sabotage MG nests, or some truly wacky ones that let you use grenades as melee weapons and have them detonate in your hand, drunk Scottish cyclops style. There’s a lot of fun to be had with the builds, whether you lean on more generalist builds or prefer to make ones special tailored for specific raids. There’s no re-spec cost, so go nuts!

Finally, I also just want to say that the cast is quite fun, with some really great performances from everyone. Hearing them discuss how to proceed with the raid as well as their usual banter is fun, and Mrs. White is a great radio-voice to guide you through it. Not all the humour lands, but luckily they don’t always try to be funny. It’s a light-hearted game for sure, but there’s a rare moment of melancholy there too. Something about Sterling, the brit of the group, leaning over the planning table and muttering “I’ve always liked maps, even as a child” is a rather sweet, if not somewhat sombre, moment amidst all the chaos.

Now, I’ve been praising this game quite severely, and I do think it deserves it, but the truth is that this game will not be your next obsession or whatnot. There’s flaws. Not all the missions are winners (looking at you, Kelly), the weapon upgrade system is a bit boring (though it’s going to be reworked in the future), the enemies don’t have too much personality, and there is the rare bug. It’s a charming, fun double-A game that has some jank in it, but is just a solid and entertaining package. Maybe you won’t spend a hundred hours in it, but you’ll spend maybe a couple dozen at least, and I believe they will be some good dozen hours, even if just playing alone with bots… just don’t try to get all the gold on Gold Rush by yourself. Get a friend or two… and maybe a drink.

It's really a miracle that this game got the revival it got, and I'm really thankful for it. In an age of "use-and-toss", it's nice when something gets to defy that and preservere.

While it is very similar to PAYDAY, the class system alongside its unique take on a skill tree differentiates it enough to feel like a standalone experience. The gunplay has been satisfying since day 1. And even though it was abandoned by its publisher, it gets content updates anyways thanks to the MUG team. This game is entertaining solo or with friends and is well worth the price.

[b]Rating:[/b] ★★★★ – Great
[b]Time Played:[/b] 7.9 hours (All Missions)
[b]Difficulty:[/b] Normal + Hard

[b]Gameplay:[/b]
• Feels like Payday 2’s older cousin. Less polished, but has more personality.
• Each class has distinct perks that reward teamwork but still let you go rogue.
• Missions are loud, messy, and over-the-top similar to Medal of Honor.
• The gunplay is chunky and satisfying once you adjust to its old-school recoil and pacing.
• Game heavily reuses maps but spins them to feel like different missions.

[b]Story\Dialogue:[/b]
• A absurd, Tarantino\SAS-style take on sabotaging Nazis for profit.
• The humor lands surprisingly often. Irreverent, self-aware, and proudly unfiltered.
• Characters feel like caricatures, but that’s part of the charm. No one’s taking this seriously.
• Your liason Mrs. White gives everything a delightfully unhinged, dark-comedy edge.
• Sadly John Cleese is not in it as much as I'd of liked.

[b]Graphics\Music:[/b]
• Old gritty, stylized visuals that lean more pulp comic than realism.
• Lighting and explosion effects punch well above the game’s budget.
• The soundtrack’s war tunes are way too repetitive and are worth turning off.
• Animations can be janky, but they add to the game’s chaotic personality.
• Had a couple of soft-locks when trying to ready up for new missions.

[b]Before you Play:[/b]
• Play with friends or matchmaking where possible. Solo runs make the heists particularly harder.
• Know when to rush objectives and take your time. There is much hidden loot and side tasks.
• Focus on leveling up 1-2 guns throughout your campaign as they get much better.
• Perk synergy matters more than raw aim build around your role.
• Treat it like a co-op heist sandbox, not a tactical shooter.

Raid WW2 is a very payday like game, however with the efforts of the MUG team (now know as Sidetrack Games), It has become a really good game. With alot of cool stuff in it if your willing to give it a shot. I won't call it perfect as there is little things that annoy me, but if you want a decent ww2 shooter that you can play co-op with friends? then i recommend you give this a try

J'y avais joué à la sortie un peu plus de 7h avec des potes, et on a très vite lâché. Notamment parce que les objectifs n'étaient pas clairs dans l'environnement (je ne parle pas du HUD mais bien de l'environnement des niveaux de jeu)...

Je reviens 8 ans après pensant que les choses pouvaient avoir évolué, PERDU !
Sans parler du fait que mes yeux ont littéralement fuis quand ils ont vu les graphismes !
Ils n'ont rien amélioré dessus depuis 2017 donc ça a très mal vieilli (déjà pas très beau de base)...
Là où sur un Payday 2, on a eu des montées de version du moteur... Et même si ce dernier n'était pas fou en terme de graphismes, il a beaucoup moins mal vieilli alors qu'il est sorti en 2011, j'y joue encore !

Bref, une grosse déception sur la durée car le jeu a été très vite abandonné, c'est dommage...

De ce même studio, le choix entre Payday 2 et ce jeu est très facile.
C'est con parce qu'un univers autours de la Seconde Guerre Mondiale se prêtait plutôt bien.

I was sceptical at first given Raid's unfortunate reputation as a "Payday but WW2". However, after trying it out, I was pleasantly surprised by what I experienced. While the game has a similar vibe and some mechanical similarities to Payday it still manages to feel distinct enough. The orchestral soundtrack sounds heroic yet intense, making the game feel as if you're in an epic war movie. The audio design is solid- the sniper rifles feel particularly nice because of it, and the main characters' voice lines are entertaining. And the missions are varied enough both in location and objectives- they do tend to repeat here and there but as far as I'm concerned they appear just often enough for different purposes as to not overstay their welcome. The skills are alright, levelling up the more you use them and different classes have some differences both in what skills are available and when they unlock certain weapons (you can unlock and use all of them with all classes mind you). I suppose the only nitpick I can think of is the lack of special enemy units but on higher difficulties the existing 4 are menacing enough as is. The game is also quite grindy when it comes to levelling but given how fun and replayable the gameloop is I don't consider that anything major.
Overall not a bad game all things considered. And if the price seems a bit high for something like that it's less than 5 bucks on sale- cheap enough to be worth a try.

RAID: World War II jest nastawioną na kooperację grą akcji, w której świat obserwujemy z perspektywy pierwszej osoby.

Gracze mają możliwość wybrania jednej z czterech klas postaci: Recon, Assault, Insurgent oraz Demolitions.

Każda z nich ma rozbudowane drzewko rozwoju oraz specjalną zdolność – tzw. War Cry ( pol. „okrzyk bojowy” ), który zapewnia konkretne bonusy drużynie, jednocześnie osłabiając przeciwników.

Rozgrywka w RAID: World War II na PC, PS4 i XONE mocno przypomina tę znaną z serii PayDay.

Produkcja oferuje graczom możliwość przejścia kampanii, a następnie powtarzania ulubionych fragmentów, rozbudowanych i wzbogaconych o dodatkowe wyzwania w ramach tzw. Trybu Operacji.

Dodatkowo za kończenie misji otrzymujemy specjalne karty, które mogą zostać wykorzystane do zmienienia szczegółowych zasad rządzących daną misją, co sprawia, że ten sam scenariusz rozgrywany dwa razy pod rząd może być znacząco innym doświadczeniem.

Game is quite buggy, with a frustrating stealth that makes it confusing when you alert guards, as well as what seems like instant guard respawn on high difficulty. It feels like gold takes forever to get, along with weapon upgrades. Wasn't good when I played it at release, isn't good now.

May not look the best ( Like CoD 1 but sharper). May not have the player base ( Like 30 on at night on steam). May not have a huge collection of skins and weapons.
BUT, at least the developers put their heart and soul into this game, still updating it in 2025.
The game has great humour, John cleese for example, in the cut scenes. It has charm. Plenty of trophies to unlock. Great game to play alone with AI or with a friend or 2. The best bit is it only cost's £3.99 on offer ( £7.99 at full price) with no extra costs. You buy the game, you get the game.
Go on, play it, if you like Payday 1/2, if you like Crime Boss: Rockay City, if you like old school CoD, or wave shooters in general, you will like this game.

Nowadays the game is pretty good and has received a great glow-up since launch. A pretty good WW2 Payday-like with its own unique identity, such as the health system (partially regenerating health with additional health pickups available, no armor system) and the War Cry system (Ultimate abilities). Gunplay is just as good as in Payday 2, there's a decent enough weapon, mission, and mission objective variety, and best of all, you will not be spending the majority of a heist stuck defending or repairing a drill unlike Payday 2.

Stealth is also better than Payday 2 since you can physically carry bodies without bodybags and there is no annoying pager system. Do note, however, that the way heists are designed seems to be that stealth is never mandatory (unlike PD2's infamous Shadow Raid, Yacht, or Murky Station heists) and some heists cannot be full-stealthed at all. Stealth is more of a way to not immediately raise the alarm and get swarmed by enemies, which is helpful when there's no regenerating armor bar.

With how disappointing Payday 3 has been, Raid WW2 (or RWW2) might be the real Payday 3 at this point. RWW2 is even better with mods, although unlike Payday 2, you do not require several dozen mods to make the game good. Payday 2, meanwhile, has sadly enshittified so badly that you'll need several mods to make the game good, or even an entire overhaul mod like Restoration Mod. My recommended mods for RWW2 include Competent Bots, Bots Have Feelings Reborn, Grenade Quickthrow, Slightly More Eye-Catching Enemies, and WolfgangHUD.

I think calling it a Payday clone is a little disingenuous to how it plays. Sure, it has some similarities, but it really feels more like an old school Medal of Honor Allied Assault meets Payday with a sprinkle of Inglorious Bastards comedy and camaraderie.

The only reason I am recommending it is because it's worth the $10 asking price because you will get at least the 10 hours out of it to feel good about the purchase. There's also some randomization each time you play a level (NPCs spawn in different places, objectives move, items move, etc.) so that is a nice touch for replay-ability.

If it was more money, I'd have to not recommend.

My top issues are that the enemy spawns are way too frequent and that the objectives are too short. There's some good linearity to the missions, but I felt some were too "going in loud" for the ambiance of the mission.

All in all, I give it a 6/10 in its current state. I could see it being a 7 or even 8 out of 10 if they address some of my complaints mentioned above, and other engine related jank.
