Once in a mission, the tension rises slowly at first. The gameplay is very similar to that popular shooter: Players choose from a list of missions to run, and by running these missions over and over, they level up their characters and unlock new weapons and outfits. Raid: World War II was made by Lion Game Lion, a studio with experience making mission content for Payday 2.
But, once the opening cinematics are over, Raid both looks and plays like an unfinished Half-Life 2 mod with slightly higher resolution textures.
This one-to-four-player cooperative shooter wants desperately to be the video game version of Inglourious Basterds - an over-the-top, Nazi-killing orgy with its tongue planted firmly in cheek.
