90% Positive Reviews on Steam: World War I Shooter Over The Top: WWI Becomes a Surprise Hit

The shooter Over The Top: WWI was released on March 6 and has already had a strong start. It seems that players have a great interest in large-scale online battles in a historical setting.

This is confirmed by the success of Holdfast: Nations At War, which is now experiencing a new surge in popularity after the release of a free add-on with large naval battles. Now the segment has been joined by Flying Squirrel Entertainment with Over The Top: WWI.

The project raises the bar even higher than Holdfast, where up to 150 people participate in battles. In Over The Top: WWI, up to 200 players can meet in one battle. The game also features various vehicles. On Steam, the shooter receives almost exclusively positive reviews – the average rating is 90%.

The game's 24-hour peak exceeded 5,500 concurrent players. Considering the almost complete lack of advertising, this is a good result. The game has already approached the top ten best-selling Steam projects – it is currently ranked 15th.

One of the interesting features of Over The Top: WWI is the ability to change the landscape of the map. Players can take entrenching shovels and dig trenches, creating shelter from fire.
