About Gallipoli
Gallipoli is a first-person shooter with strategy and simulation elements set during World War 1’s Middle Eastern Front. Developed by Blackmill Games and released March 31, 2026, it blends combat with tactical decision-making. Play as a soldier in desert and beach environments, using historically accurate weapons and classes. The game runs on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. It’s for players who want gritty, slow-paced warfare with a focus on teamwork and planning. No fast travel or modern conveniences, just boots on the ground and careful resource management.
Gameplay
You’ll spend most sessions in single-player campaigns or multiplayer matches, managing squads, securing objectives, and fending off waves of enemies. Each class, like rifleman, medic, or engineer, has distinct abilities and gear. Combat feels deliberate; weapons have realistic reload times and bullet drop. Missions often involve defending beach landings or advancing through sandstorms, requiring you to balance aggression with cover. Strategy comes into play via resource allocation and positioning. Controls are straightforward but demand precision, especially in multiplayer’s 6v6 deathmatch mode. Expect long stretches of waiting and observation, interrupted by bursts of intense firefights.
What Players Think
PlayPile community ratings average 4.2/5, with 42% of players completing the campaign. Average playtime is 15 hours, though 18% hit 30+ hours. Moods are split: Frustrated (35%), Determined (40%), and Nostalgic (25%). Review snippets praise the “unflinching realism” but note “grindy progression.” Critics at GameSpot gave it an 8.5/10, calling it “a masterclass in WW1 authenticity,” while PC Gamer praised its “tense, methodical pacing.” Completion rates drop sharply after Chapter 5, where difficulty spikes.
PlayPile's Take
Gallipoli is a niche pick for history fans and strategy shooters. At $49.99, it’s pricey for its slow pace, but the 120 achievements (42% average unlocked) add replay value. Skip if you want fast action or open worlds. But if you enjoy calculated combat and don’t mind repetition, the desert warfare and tactical depth make it worth the investment. Best played in short sessions, its methodical design isn’t forgiving for long play marathons.
