Description

RUNNING WITH RIFLES is a top-down tactical shooter with open-world RPG elements.

In RWR, you join the ranks of an army as a common soldier, just like the thousands around you.

The open world approach lets you define your own path and story in the campaign. Push back the enemy with your comrades or go deep behind enemy lines to sabotage their efforts and loot valuable items.



As you gain experience, you are promoted with higher command over soldiers and equipment. Call in artillery fire missions or paratrooper reinforcements when the situation gets tight! Use your squad to man armed boats, tanks and APC's, or, become the expert lone wolf you always aspired to be - it's up to you!

This is a highly underrated game that plays like a single-player isometric Battlefield. The DLC is kinda mid, but probably worth buying on sale. I look forward to the sequel, though we no little about it beyond brief

Really fun SP / MP iso shooter. With the Warhammer 40k mod it becomes one of my favorite 40k games. Other workshop mods add a lot of replayability and variety too. For single player, it a bit like a simple version of
