Holdfast Nations at War 2023 Review: After 3000 Hours
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 жов 2024
- Is Holdfast: Nations at War still a good game in 2023? In this video I review Holdfast, as well as share a bit of my experience playing the game over the past 3000 hours. What made Holdfast my most played game far and above everything else for the past three years? What problems does Holdfast face? And why am I still not very good at melee? I'll answer all of those things except the last one.
Thank you very much for watching and please leave a like and comment if you enjoyed the video! ARF

Did you like this new style of video? Should I do more of these?
next time make increase microphone sound because it is very quiet
I’ve just got my Gaming PC I might well get this game as I enjoy this sort of game. Even though I’m over 50. 😂
@@ad5034 you should find a good regiment community
@@AdmiralARF You need to get a better microphone or increase your sound higher!! ....
This is the only game set during the Napoleonic Wars where you'll hear someone's entire Spotify playlist being blasted at max volume across a raging battlefield... and for that reason... this game is a thing of beauty. Long live Holdfast: Nations at War! WHEY-HEY!!!
Wdym, my great-great-great grandfather always went to war with his musket, screaming Lady Gaga and Ozzy Osbourne to the top of his lungs
So true
WHEY HEY
WHEEEY HEEEEEY
this is the review the world needed and deserved.
thanks arian
Excellent game. I started playing in 2018 and it’s one of the only shooters I’ve ever really enjoyed. You hit the nail on the head with your positives and negatives (although from my perspective the toxic element of the game has greatly improved at least compared to how it used to be). I actually might look into the line battles now as I’ve only ever played public and naval.
Really cool review, hit the nail on the head. You really captured the experience this game offers that I've been falling in love with. You mentioned how much the game has taught you, and I feel the same. Looking forward to seeing you out there!
thanks appreciate it
You really hit a lot of good points why the game is so much fun, i am also almost at 3000 ingame hours. I've only been playing it for so long purely because of being in a regiment where i've made a lot of new friends with people all over the world.
For me as well when i joined a reg (77th) i was a 17 year old guy who spoke very bad english. Then i got the chance to become a nco and learned how to lead lines, lead trainings and host debriefs, which helped me with becoming comfortable in speaking in groups IRL.
Basically buy holdfast, find a regiment with awesome people, and you're in for the long run! :)
As a 3000 hour musician main, this was a great video haha
i felt the same thing: talking in holdfast made me more talkative irl and i am glad it did.
Thanks. Just discovered this game on UA-cam and it looks great, so far! Waiting for the price to go down on Steam before I decide to purchase it.
yeah it's pretty fun and you don't need any DLCs as they're mostly just uniforms
No community - no party! Great job on this review admiral
thank you
Great video! And not just because I love Holdfast. It was a thoughtful analysis without any hyperbolic praise or angry criticism
thank you sauce that means a lot
Great review covering some interesting aspects about the game.
Good stuff :)
Excellent review, nice and concise. Me and my mates are going to get this game for sure.
Hello! I used to be very active in the Holdfast regimental community, I was a co founder of a still running reg that has had moderate success. Note was because drama lead to me stepping down, but it was a fun time while it lasted. In my personal opinion private line battles can get boring quickly, for me public is the best way to play. Also what reg do you lead because I think I remember you from when I was active in the community, great video!
SPACE
@@AdmiralARF I remember!
I do love the meme videos but this format definitely suites you better. Do more of this!
Also thank you for being there for me starting my journey with this game. I have gathered almost 400 hours in the span of 6 months and 99% of those were under your leadership in SPACE.
SALUTE EMOJI SALUTE EMOJI SALUTE EMOJI. thanks magg I will probably do some more of this kind of style as I have a few video ideas that I can do similar to this.
This informative style suits you better 👌
thanks
My only criticism is constructive, your mic volume is too low, I have the video on full volume and if there's any background noise in my environment I miss what you're saying.
As for the video itself I have never played this game besides seeing the meme videos people make of it.
Great job and keep it going dude, you lay out your points clearly, besides the volume of your voice you speak very clearly. If I didn't already have my hands full of time vampires I'd give this game a shot based on your videos.
@@insertnamehere6655 Hey thanks for the feedback also my name used to be FIRST NAME LAST NAME so I can feel the camaraderie between us. I will eat my mic next time. Thanks!
Summary: people scream, play music, play memes, don’t take anything too seriously and make stereotypical jokes based on what country their team and the enemy team is on. It’s amazing
Nice video, love from the KRA
Ah man, i hope it will be free someday it looks so good!
There is also comp but that's more exclusive within regiments. Melee shooting and much more depends on how competative your regiment is.
So you're implying that there is a skill ceiling to this game?
Time to show my rust 1v1 quicsc0ping skillz
I just bought this game on sale and it’s the best fun I’ve ever had
Great review! Do you think this game is worth 20 bucks or should I wait till it's on sale?
it goes on sale every two months or so so up to you
One of the most beautiful-classic and fierce game forever
lol the game is very meme worthy and I love it. I started out in Nr.9 before joining SPACE myself. Gotta find the peeps you feel you fit in with and even if not a regiment there is always a small group somewhere in the game anyone can relate to.
its the fucking best. its a good. ass. game. buy it. play it. help it grow. i hope to yell at all of you soon
by far the most fun game I've ever played and I've been gaming since i was 9 (28 now). The VOIP is amazing can't beat a cavalry charge while blasting out sabaton winged hussars
8th RB FTW
Very nice review 👍
thank you BIG M
I just picked this up on steam I hope it’s good!
Buying the game right now, saw the latest comment about your own regiment, is it strict on being able to play on certain times / how often?
no requirements
@@AdmiralARF Thank you for the clarification, I'll be seeing you soon hopefully (:
Just bought this game looks cold.
I really like it!
yyam what game is this though?
Game has a lot of potential but it just bugged as hell or have bad mechanics for me ( like cav ). There are some unfinished like Naval mode. WW1 is really unbalanced and barely anyone plays it.
But yes thanks to community, regiments etc the game get its players
As someone who has 6k hours+, i can say it's still fun!
Also, they added 8 new maps last week.
I was wondering buying this game, but is it dead? Insaw ij steamcharts like 100 players only
always a full server
The game with all dlc is 72 dollars is it worth buying dlc aswell ?
hello. just start off with the base game. DLC is all cosmetic.
@@AdmiralARF thank you so much I do not need 50$ worth of cosmetics
@@Naaadez you most certainly do not lmao but I eventually bought them because, you know, I played for 3000 hours
@@AdmiralARF I’m loving this game so much right now even if I keep getting smoked 😂 game chat Is crazy I love it 😭🙏🏽
@@Naaadez glad you're having fun
im new to the game. does your regiment welcome new players?
yes
They really need to add this game to console. It’s a win-win for everyone.
You should add some very soft background music IMO.
I can hear a bit of background noise in your audio. While this might be solvable using the Audacity "remove background noise" feature, that could decrease quality, so the easiest option (besides buying a better mic) is to just add some background music and be done with it.
And if I don't like the background music, then that's noise too.
Is it worth buying the dlc with it ?
I have all the dlcs and i guess it is fun cause you are free to play whatever you want
currently at 2283 hours, number 4 global musician, totally worth it
wow a celebrity
whys your mic like on 0 volume
shy
@@AdmiralARF sorry bro
The volume on this video is incredibly low! Maybe you're already aware.
God bless I am
@@AdmiralARF The content is good though! Keep it up!
@@somedude9316 God bless
This game is infavamously bad but we all love it for some reason. I wouldn't have met a lot of really cool people if I didn't join SPACE. This game is carried almost uniquely by its community.
who are you Cedric?
@@AdmiralARF You'll never know! MUAHAHAHAA
@@cedlala my top choice is Flashced
@@AdmiralARF Darn it.
@@cedlala no one else would like transportation AND have an accented e!
Had this game once. Couldn't play it. Uninstalled and got refund
I’m of the firm belief that toxicity, memes, and micspam are what made and still make Holdfast memorable. Clans trying to play “correctly” is like trying to drain the entire ocean. Nothing beats Holdfast pub lobbies in terms of low stakes high reward fun.
By the way, have you ever played War of Rights?
VIVA LA FRAAAANCE!!!
Your microphone is way too silent
Doing my part to keep racism, sexism and bullying alive in the Holdfast community.
banned
Well done sah! Adm. Kill'em
Best game ever :D
I wish someone would gift me holfast
No
@@ernestojunsardido3299 I alr got it
bro the cyberbullying makes the game fun.
Sexism na rascism ? Another reasons to buy this game 😂
You know the reason games based in this time period don't get made? It's because they attract racists much more than normal
Thats not why at all. Its because combat with muskets is harder to market than modern tacticool twitch shooters.
War Of Rights is a bit better
A lot better
Melee is trash
