About Tannenberg
Tannenberg is a first-person shooter and squad-based combat simulator set during WW1’s Eastern Front. Developed by M2H, it launched February 13 2019 across PC consoles and Linux Mac. The game emphasizes historical authenticity with trench warfare, gas attacks, and WW1-era weapons. Players lead squads through brutal survival scenarios on the Russo-German border. It blends single-player missions, co-op play, and a persistent multiplayer server where thousands engage in large-scale battles. The Eastern Front’s harsh winters and open terrain define the setting, making resource management and positioning critical to success.
Gameplay
Tannenberg’s core loop revolves around squad command in real-time. You manage cover, suppress enemies, and coordinate attacks using voice or keybinds. Each match starts with weapon selection, rifle, grenade, or medical roles, then drops you into a map where objectives like capturing bunkers or repelling assaults unfold. The physics engine handles bullet drop and shell fragmentation realistically. Players alternate between frontline combat and behind-the-lines sabotage. Matches last 30, 60 minutes, with respawns limited by squad casualties. The MMO mode syncs progress across sessions, encouraging base building and territory control. Controls are responsive but require learning stamina management and historical weapon quirks like bolt-action reloads.
What Players Think
The game holds a 63.7/100 on IGDB from 12 reviews. Community engagement is split: 25.8% average achievement unlock rate suggests moderate difficulty, with the rarest achievement “Seeing is Believing” at 3.4%. Players often cite the tactical depth and scale of multiplayer battles as highlights, though some find the learning curve steep. Average playtime across platforms is 18, 22 hours, with 68 total achievements. Forum threads frequently debate balance between realism and accessibility. Mixed reviews note inconsistent AI behavior and a dated art style, but dedicated fans praise the historical detail.
PlayPile's Take
Tannenberg appeals to niche audiences: WW1 history buffs and tactical shooter enthusiasts. With 68 achievements and rare unlocks, it rewards persistence, though completion isn’t easy. The price isn’t listed here but often sits at a 10, 20% discount. While not a mainstream hit, its scale and historical focus carve a unique space in the genre. Casual players might find it daunting, but those who embrace its slow-paced strategy and squad dynamics will find longevity in both single-player and multiplayer. Worth trying if you’ve exhausted modern war shooters and crave something different.
