Conscript Review – WW1 Survival Horror

Conscript is a WW1 survival horror game inspired by classic Resident Evil, placing you in the trenches of Verdun with limited resources, brutal combat, and an oppressive atmosphere. At first, I was hooked. The visuals, the setting and the sound effects were all fantastic. But the further the game dragged on the less interested i became.

In this review, I break down everything Conscript does right, where it falls short, and whether it’s worth playing. From the oppressive atmosphere and great artstyle to the frustrating backtracking, tanky enemies, and the overuse of locked doors.
