"Jeez, this is bad! We're all dying!"
The authentic WWI experience
In ww1 you wasn't supposed to live
You died way less in Tannenberg and Verdun though
@@mcloughlinguy4127 You would die way less in real life, considering that the ammount of times you can die is capped to 1.
(this is a joke pls laugh)
@@EdyAlbertoMSGT3 TRUE THO
Yeah, that's what Isonzo is about. If you can't accept that you won't unicum this game because you will be constantly dying to random shit, it's not a game for you. It's war, you die and that's it. Isonzo is much more about working as a wave of meat and hoping that guys who won't die will hold it until another wave comes in. It's senseless, as this entire fucking war was, and the battles of Isonzo in particular. I love it so much.
"low budget battlefield 1" guess what, low budget but far more accurate
will bitching about reload got me... some gun irl you cant just reload like super bad fps guy running around as one man army...
And not really fun. Beyond the wire is also accurate but a lot more fun than this arcade shit

I’ve been having a blast with isonzo bit buggy but it’s a lot more fleshed out then the other two games, don’t get me wrong verdun is prolly my favorite ww1 game
Verdun is pretty dead too though, least from my experience
Verdun is better than Isonzo
@@twistusvonhasburg4000 how?
@@engineerconagher9466 I prefer the gameplay and the gunplay of Verdun
@Rick and Morty 🅥 no
I kinda like Verdun which was the game before Isonzo. Yeah, you die, you die ALOT, but in a way that's kinda the point. The developers want to simulate WW1 which was the meat grinder of history and it was pretty much a miracle if you made it trough one attack. Even so if you made trough 2 attacks.
So yeah, if you are prepared for that then Isonzo is a game for you. If there is one thing I like to point out, is that the developers of this game seem to be really passionate about their work. Even though Verdun struggled with getting that player count up, they still kept the updates coming.
What happened with beyond the wire is a damn shame though...
What happened to beyond the wire?
@@holdencross5904 the game is pretty dead. Its amazing but really one of these bigger youtubers would need to upload a video on it. Its too good to die. Most of the time theres only half a server full and at the best times one full server
@@swordz2330 damn that sucks.
they also made Tannenberg after Verdun
Atrocious lack of marketing, lack of any really
I've been liking Isonzo a lot tbh. As someone who is mainly used to Battlefield, this feels like a level somewhere in-between. It feels like a happy medium where it has some more arcade like elements from Battlefield 1, but the bolt action rifles make the gameplay less chaotic. I found the officer role to be really fun too. The pistols have a drawback of being less powerful than the rifles, but you can fire multiple shots before having to reload. And it's always fun putting in a call for a bomber squadron and just watching your kill feed light up
Yeah when you unlock madsen it gets really easy
Me too!
Bomber spam officers are the scum of the Isonzo community.
The maps are so well constructed, one of the best WW1 games
Maps remind me of BF1 Maps...

@@jordijordi6846 BF1's maps are literally incorrect, they depict locations that do not line up with the battles they are supposed to represent. I mean the Villar Perosa in BF1 isn't even a real gun, it's based on a fake movie prop. BF1 does not depict WW1, BF1 depicts a fictional fantasy war in fantasy locations.
These two games aren't even comparable, it gives me a headache seeing so many people compare this game to a casual, arcady shooter like BF1 or lazily made, unoptimized shitshow like Beyond the Wire.
It's so funny to see Nano trying to understand and interpretate Italians, and gets it wrong

WW1 Series Verdun, TannenBerg and Isonzo I absolutely love. WW1 Series in my opinion are very well done realistic shooters. Now, Black Mill has a way higher budget and I believe that Balkan or Turkish Fronts are next.
Verdun Tanneberg Isonzo, they travel to original places, read a lot talk a lot with other historians to recreate what happened even the scenary. Devs are deeply passionate about war history. Also 1 bullet 1kill, not 3clips and a kamehame. I love it, but it has it's quirks
Gallipoli would be cool
its just sad none of their games have done well and are all dead (except this new one, obviously)
I liked tannenber and verdun but this one looks like a totally different game.
@@selectionn Isonzo is great and I still find people playing Verdun and TannenBerg and I am on PS5. The games are great and are my personal favourite gems. WW1 Series is my favourite gaming franchise. I will suppourt Black Mill and even though M2H departed ways I will suppourt them too. Indie Developers have always stayed true to what makes their games unique and they have no, high up to answer to. They get to make the game the way we and developers want it. I suppourt these Indie Developers wholeheartedly.
@@selectionn Verdun is not dead
Its truly realistic is it makes you ask "wtf is happening". Probably exactly what they thought in the trenches when shit popped off.
It is if you play on consol. The problem with the series being cross platform is they’ve absolutely fucked over the console peasants by giving us the slowest aiming speed and having no options to speed it up or give us an aim assist. It’s frustrating to have the aiming speed be damn near glacial.
@@Ben_not_10 you know there's a sensitively option on console
@@The_Con_Man. yes and even with sensitivity turned up the movement is still glacially slow
@@Ben_not_10 I think it's some with your controller because I don't have the same issue
it makes sense if it's mediocre, it's brand new and not by another AAA dev. To me it seems like a fun game because it's balance of realism and arcadey gameplay

Nano is just shit at the game, braincells rotten from only playing shooters like Cod and Battlefield(great games for the most part in their own right), where the multiplayer is you just sprinting like a maniac while shooting and reload spamming, obviously he didn't do well in Isonzo.
But i agree with him the unlocks are artificial and unneeded, and if the developers can add more animations variety even if one to two to bayonet attacks and such would be great, him complaining about the mask is just him being salty, mask don't instantly stick to your face and isn't something you can rush.

@@glizzygulper8948 And his opinion reaches potentially hundreds of thousands of people. Not saying he doesn't have a right to his opinion, it's just that it could harm the player base which is strong right now, based on surface level issues that can and likely will be fixed
True, title should have been "Isonzo Sucks!".
Being from the same area of the Strafexpedition maps, is absolutely trilling to see these locations in a videogame. The gameplay is fine but what i think is the best part of the game are the locations and the map. Hopefully we can see more mountains maps soon
Asiago?
@@gasperpoklukar8372 Asiago Plateu with Mt. Ortigara is another bloody location of the Italian Front. But also on the Lagorai mountains. Or the more famous Adamello, but I believe that will be set in the next White War expansion.
The locations look great. They obviously spent a lot of time on the art assets.
Even if the game isn't flawless I'm glad to see the Italians get some love in a video game
Grazie!!!

Isonzo is just the latest in a three part series of games including Verdun, and Tannenberg. Verdun is my personal favorite, and I would highly recommend that you try them instead.
Last time I got on Verdun about a year ago the servers were dead. Is the game making a come back?

*Isonzo devs- how they get their death sounds*

Ive played beyond the wire for 300 hours since january, the game is saddly dead, theres only a few servers but only one will have players. Its not in early acess anymore, and they officially launched it. While isonzo is not as good as beyond the wire could have been, its way more historic accurate than bf1 will ever be. So its a replecement for the void left by BtW in my brain. But isonzo is definetly a good game that need some balancing to be amazing.
Yea It's really sad about BTW. Absolutely, battlefield 1 is not a perfect equivalent because it is a lot more arcade (I mentioned this) but for the large majority of people I can confidently say they will have better time than in Isonzo.

I don't want Redstone Interactive touching the WW1 Game Series, thank you very much. They're a lazy bunch of over-ambitious clowns who abandoned their unfinished, full price early access game that was still missing tons of roadmap content (and ran like absolute garbage), sold it to their publisher (OWI, the Squad devs who provided the framework for the game) who moved it from V0.12 Alpha to V1.0 Full Release in a single update. The Squad framework was never a good foundation for a WW1 shooter anyway, but all the potential Beyond the Wire has was pissed away by the devs streamlining the game more and more overtime. Almost all weapon sway was removed about a year ago and the Battlefront style XP system is an affront to the concept of a tactical shooter.
Beyond the Wire had a lot of potential and I had some good times with it before the devs ruined it, but make no mistake dude.. it's dead because it deserves to be dead. Redstone did everything in their power to handicap the game.
@@HystericalHuntress I felt like Beyond the Wire just felt like BF1, it wasn’t a WWI game, it was a WWII game with WWI ascetics.

While it seems some issues definitely needs some ironing out, I certainly don't mind the "low visual and audio quality" because It feels fitting. At the end of the day, guns just sound like bangs and explosions are just dust clouds. I'm glad that they don't force particles and uniqueness of sound. Unlike BF1, which I despise.
Hey! It's not a bad game, I also mentioned I like the bots, if beyond the wire had done the same maybe it wouldn't be so empty right now.
@@Nanoytgaming I agree with that. Unfortunately, many devs believe that bots are not worth their time and don't contribute to player counts, but I disagree. I love analyzing bot behavior in games

Blasphemy! Heresy! Unbelievable title!
I hate that people come into the WWI series and just shit all over the graphics and animations. No they're not incredible, it wasn't made by a AAA studio that can afford to spend a whole year to get graphics and vfx absolutely perfect and cutting edge. And they always expect it to play like COD or Battlefield where it's just arcade. That's not the intention of the games at all, they are supposed to be realistic. One shot one kill, chaos and confusion, slow reloads, and slow guns. Not everyone had full auto smgs and machine guns. The WWI series are my absolute favorite games because of the realism and difficulty and if you don't like them, don't shit on the developer just because they aren't a multimillion dollar game studio.
It's good, cheap fun worth the price. Strikes a nice balance between realistic hardcore combat and fast paced arcade action. I really enjoyed Verdun when it was active. Tannenberg sadly died extremely fast. Isonzo does feel like a noticeable improvement to the previous games, though they do have some serious bugs to fix (especially the spawning issues). But for what it is it's fun. If you enjoy RO/RS then you will definitely enjoy Isonzo.

I really wish more games had the Banzai charge system from rising storm. Heck you would think even a bayonet charge like in bf1 would be in this game. I suppose wouldn't be as useful in mountain terrain.

Never played BF1 but a fair amount of RS. Participated in a few good charges, and broke a few as well. Good times, good times. Wish that game would make a comeback.

10:39 As a former professional Mount and Blade: Warband - Napoleonic Wars player, that looked like you you tried to do a turning stab (stab blade pointing away from the enemy, then turn so that the blade ends up in the enemy by the end of the animation), but the game doesn't let you do that. Might be the game requires you to have the blade be on the enemy earlier in the animation.

I think it’s not fair to pair it with a game like BF1
"I am currently in the middle of dying!"
-Every soldier ever
BF1 is shit in comparison to this game, I usually like your content and takes but I disagree with you entirely on your comment on it being a mediocre / low budget BF1. BF1 can't even add the real versions of the guns it included, the Villar-Perosa in BF1 was based off of a fake gun used as a movie prop. You can dislike the game all you want, but acting as if it's some kind of low effort clone of BF1 is a load of shit considering the WW1 Game Series predates BF1 as Verdun came before it did.
This game is far from perfect, but I quite enjoy it and know I'm not alone. I feel like you just made very little attempt to understand the game or interact with its mechanics and wrote it off as mediocre when you didn't end up having a good time. You were trying to play the game like it was BtW or BF1 and you had a bad time. That's predictable. I have zero qualms with you not caring for the game, but your comparisons to BF1 / BtW are disingenuous at best and outright bullshit at worst.
Beyond the Wire was sold to OWI by Redstone who got lazy and gave up on the game after numerous attempts to streamline it to attract more players (removal of almost all weapon sway, Battlefront style XP system, etc) and when OWI got hold of it they moved it to V0.12 to a V1.0 within a single update with most of the roadmap features were left in the toilet. You rag on the visuals of Isonzo but say BtW is better when BtW has demonstrable input lag, clunky af animations, modern visuals clashing with PS2 era visual assets and a world of other problems. I want what you're smoking dude, because it's got your perspective MAD fucked up. Almost every aspect of Isonzo you criticize is immensely worse in Beyond the Wire and that isn't a matter of opinion. Like how can you rag on Isonzo's progression when Beyond the Wire makes you grind XP in matches to unlock 'super kits' and spawn in tanks? Seriously, like, what? What? What the fuck?
There's a reason Isonzo didn't completely lose its playerbase three days after it launched like Beyond the Wire did after full release. Beyond the Wire is a garbage game. Had a lot of potential but Redstone pissed it into the wind, sold it to OWI who rushed it into full release for beer money and has now likely abandoned it. I have no idea what planet you're living on if you think BtW has better visuals, VFX and animations than Isonzo because BtW looks and feels like dogass and runs even worse. The ONLY good aspect of BtW's graphics are the particles, and that's OWI's framework doing the heavy lifting there, not anything Redstone did. Beyond the Wire is one of the worst looking modern (as in recently released) WW1 games on the market, the game is just UGLY.
Isonzo launched for $30 in a finished state, as in not lacking content or missing major features. Most of the serious bugs got ironed out in the first two days, and it was on sale during launch week to boot. Beyond the Wire launched for like $40-50 in a completely unfinished, early access alpha state that even in full release it honestly hasn't left. That alone should tell you that these two games are not at all comparable. Beyond the Wire sucks, and this is coming from someone who at one point back before Redstone ruined the game offered to donate $2,000 to them to support development.. which was turned down. So don't accuse me of just hating BtW, I was willing to give Redstone one of my full paychecks to support it.
Isonzo isn't perfect, but it's the best WW1 shooter released in years and it'll get free content support updates for a good while to come. Beyond the Wire will continue withering away into irrelevancy as it deserves to and BF1 will continue to be infested by cheaters and angry children. Of the three choices, it seems pretty obvious which one is the best to me.
my review is that, Authentic and Realistic even tho its not a milsim i really do like it! AND BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF THOSE AUSTRO HUNGARIANS
9:59 "Is that a pirate hat?"
No. That's a Lucerna, and it means that soldier was a Carabiniere.
I love how in 3:46 the animation is fluid when the officer turns to Nano for a second. shows how they improved much slightly on character animations.
im honestly pretty happy with the game. liked the previous entries in the WW1 game series as well, just a big fan of manually repeating rifles in games. the older games brought the trench warfare and maneuver warfare, now we get mountains. the transition to a new "game mode" to portrait that worked well imo. tannenberg had more guns, but that was also due to the mixed armies in those battles, thats something i miss a bit. both verdun and tannenberg also had unique squads with perks to fulfill specific roles, like a defensive squad that gets less suppression effects in own objectives and stuff like that, now you get your own perks for your class. takes away from the feel of "our squad should defend together, that squad should rush the enemy objective" (which isnt too bad, cause one team always only defend or attack for the entire match). the UI was something that surprised me at first as well, but i got used to it pretty quickly. the older games also had markers for objectives and orders and stuff like that, might turn off some of the things eventually. i just hope they add something more to the progression and make it worth it. im basically only looking to get the madsen and the villar perosa and then im done grinding and play for fun. i felt like a slower progression system might help to keep people playing and populate the servers longer than verdun and tannenberg, but we will have to see, we might need more unlocks for that to happen. and i dont see the comparison to BF1. BF1 is just a battlefield like all the others with a WW1 skin, thats fun, but not an authentic WW1 feel. also would have loved beyond the wire to succeed but oh well. i'll keep playing the WW1 series with my fellow gamers on the last 1 or 2 populated servers even when isonzo gets there.
I personally like the game. It’s historically accurate and it’s the only game about the Italian front in WW1 that I can find anything about.
The brother of my great grandfather would agree with your title.
I love at 4:14 someone made a comment saying “if nanos on the enemy team send pigeons” 😂
I absolutely recommend it and I love it .
It can be frustrating at times, but guess what, ww1.
I hope they’ll put other weapons that our allies gave us during ww1, for example the lewis lmg, maxim mg etc.

Izonzo is an atmospheric game, I love the squad aspects. A pity Nano didnt play the Officer, I think he would have prolly enjoyed it...or maybe they didnt record that bit lol.
ive been having so much fun with this. here in Australia I do get occasionally bot filled lobbies with maybe 20 actual players, but other than that its a great game to pass time.
"What's this? A machine gun with 12 corpses right behind it? Guess I'll try it out."
They are actually speaking Austrian German. I am in love.
I'm sorry I bought this game regardless and it's awesome! I still play it today.
1:41
Italy in both world wars be like:
I kinda love this game. I love haivng challenges tied with progression. for me it makes that new weapon or perk feel more earned.
I picked up Verdun and Tannenberg on sale and (purposefully) only ever play them with bots - I think this series is definitely an acquired taste. They're not amazing, but each game does something interesting and it's fun to mess around a bit and go ham with a trench shotgun or 1911. I'll probably eventually pick up Izonzo when it enters bargain territory like the other two games.
How do manage to only get bots? I understand for Tannenberg but Verdun usually has several active servers.
@@theatagamer90 Edited my comment. I meant that I purposefully play with bots since that's what I like. Didn't realize it could be construed as forced to play with bots.
Playing with bots doesn’t compare to playing against human players. The bots aren’t that bright, nor terribly skilled.
@@singleproppilot But are always there for you, no matter the internet connection. Haha
0:42 your character literally said "welcome to the front brother" but in Italian
breaking the 4th wall
Even in Verdun or Tannenburg the character say that, but in their respective squad language.
"I won't touch this game again man"
Meanwhile the Arma Reforger ....
I love how the Grenade just looked at you and went like "yes I'm a grenade and guess what? I go BOOM"
Love how he thought the Bersagliere (Italian elite sharpshooters) was a homeless man.
Dude when someone gets shot in front of you and dies is both awesome and terrifying
ok, now i want more Isonzo videos, this one was great
I've been having fun with Isonzo but there are a few things I have issues with. One is the progression system, even with them lowering the requirements for some tasks, I still much prefer how it was in Tannenburg with unlock tokens you get just by playing instead of specific tasks that you need to go out of your way (sometimes to the detriment of your team) to complete. Another is the frequency of call ins, especially combined with the narrower maps and the amount of chokepoints, you're pretty much always getting headshake or instantly dying to a call in, they need to be either scaled back in potency or have cooldowns increased. The lack of urgency in the animations is also something, like in the video, guy seems pretty lethargic when putting on the gas mask, but it also applies to reload animations, readying grenades, and other stuff. I noticed it in Tanneburg as well particularly the Mosin had a lethargic reload which, from personal experience, I know can be faster. The final issue is that they made it so you have to cut through barbed wire to advance, but only give like 2-4 locations depending on the map that you can actually cut through the wire, so the entire cutting is pointless because it's just the same narrow chokepoint anyways. You should be able to cut anywhere along the line.
Bro you can't tell me not to download isonzo when i literally live by the isonzo and know all of this locations, particularly san martino.
I found the game really fun and when i learnt how to play i had i blast with this game, so i think the title is unjustified, even tho everyone can have his opinion and i am not arguing with that
@@Nanoytgaming didn't try?
@@Nanoytgaming I mean between the fact indie devs pushed the unity engine so far i've seen people claim it's a BF1 asset flip (lol) and the fact half the game mechanics in isonzo weren't present in their last game, i'm not sure what you mean by ''felt like the developers didn't really try''. There's loads of issues but that criticism is a bit vague and unsupported
@@yuithgf4524 Hey! Sorry yea it does come out a bit mean, I was replying to a lot of people and oversimplified. My conclusion in the video does it better justice.
@@Nanoytgaming the devs didn’t try even though they’re currently adding tons of bug fixes and have already shown a roadmap that includes 3 free DLCs
@@Nanoytgaming No worries, i wasn't under the impression you were trying to be mean, just thought the comment didnt really make sense without some evidence added onto it.
Video conclusion is fine, although i think there is definitely a market of people who want an FPS more realistic than BF1 yet more arcade than something like beyond the wire or post scriptum. this game sort of bridges the gap by having realistic/authentic gunplay, locations and uniforms while having arcade respawn and building mechanics.
Good on you for answering to a lot of comments btw, its rare.
thank you Nano needed this dopamine shot
Lol same! Got me through the work day
I love how genuine the “ah god damn it” was.
3:16
“Yaaaa, show that chair who’s the boss”
*died*
Chair: “me.”
I guess it’s just preference tbh. I’ve actually really been enjoying the game so far.
It’s a small company, I don’t know why you expect something on par with Battlefield One. Plus it is only 26 dollars.
You do have to remember isonzo is still a semi recent game kinda still early in development we have yet to see what will come in the future for isonzo
You know nano gonna spam those grenades ....LOVE YOU NANO!
I for one really enjoy Isonzo. I played a lot of Verdun, and some Tannenberg, so this is right up my alley.
I am having fun with Isonzo despite a few flaws. Mainly that scoped rifles are limited to 2 players per team. I used iron sights almost exclusively in Verdun and wanted to play as a sniper but sometimes I am forced to play other classes. Even in custom games, I can be a sniper all I want but the bots are not comparable to real players. So after a few minutes, I just want to play against real people
Having too many scoped rifles ruins the game. Check any battlefield game after 4, 10-15 snipers per team and it's just horribly unplayable, nobody destroys tanks or planes, nobody pushes forward
Im actually getting this game soon so hopefully i don’t regret this
It's a game made with the hearts.
On another footage, I was regretting the overwhelming HUD, and the arcade feeling. But knowing you can disable the HUD makes it feel better for me.
The explosions are lack luster but the gunshots are pretty accurate. Just hope we get a little more tweaks to some things. Like grenade spam, the effectiveness of mortars, the sub gun that the Italians get is really busted. Otherwise it's ok
Not that I'm supporting the progression system, the low level unlocks can be done quickly and easily against bots. (And you get in a bit of map/game familiarization while you're at it)
true and Will even mentioned that in the video but like I said- why though?
@@Nanoytgaming Honestly, I'm not a fan of progression in MP games, for anything other than cosmetics at least. I think progression is much more suited to singleplayer. The sentiment of my comment was the progression was a nuisance rather than a dealbreaker.
I've heard the progression was intended to act as a tutorial of sorts, with the challenges illustrating what each class is supposed to do. But it would be better to just make a tutorial. I don't know what it is with games not making tutorials (HLL and PS come to mind)
Thanks for the reply.
I haven't played Isonzo, but I did play Verdun and I assume they are similar in terms of gameplay. Yes it's hardcore and more niche, but I dont think it deserves a bad review from you if you personally didn't enjoy it.
This game is better then battefield 1 period.
The ww1 game series are independently funded and developed. Of course, it's not going to have the sexiness like a triple A game. It's buggy at times, but when you get a full lobby, it's amazing.
At the beginning I had also a pretty meh-opinion about the game. But after some hours I understood how the classes works, how the recon system work (signal pistols) and how fucking powerful it is when everyone is doing their role-job- even without voip. Pounding the enemy as officer with your sweet bombing squadron? Spotting attackers from miles away with a periscope just to see that you play wallhack-god for your team? And to storm village ruins and do CQB where everyone is trying to cover the corners...that's why im playing the game. Teamplay by definition is very powerful in this game (when they know their role and the objectives). When you got spotted mortars love AOE-Kills. So stay away from people during mortar-sessions. (easy to say, kek)
Maybe Im just in love because I had to play nearly every single fucking time SL in HLL and my nerves needed a bit "dying without voip".
Aah..fellow SL,its a hard job brother
What do you mean you don't use the signal pistol/flare gun as a shotgun? Shit's hilarious to play that way man.
I've been having a blast playing Isonzo tbh. I think the maps are beautiful and the trenches and stages of advance really capture the WW1 battlefield. It can be a bit buggy at times though. I think it is a bit like marmite: you either love it or you hate it...
It's great game especially if both officers know what they are doing and if you have a mountaineer with flares to help officers call in bonus definitely helps there's a lot to the game I've seen players with 117 kills and 20 deaths
Completely understand why Nano doesn't like this game, it's *not* for everyone! I however love it, breath of fresh air really. Despite it being a year old now, it hit a new peak player count after a lot of work on it and I highly recommend it!
Super fair, honest review. It looks like the game is in need of repair but that's just every game in the first month of release. It could get better but with the developer's standards with their Verdun and Tannenberg games, this one may just stay looking unfinished for a long while
As a bavarian the command at 1:44 "Reiß di zam und stai di noch vorn." made me smile.
I really hope Blackmill’s next game will be an updated complication of all three of their games incorporating all their advances they have made throughout the series plus some new mechanics. That way you can play on the western front, eastern front, or Italian front but have all the same kind of game play mechanics.
I guess the only thing they would have to implement is a mechanic to keep historically accurate squads on the right maps.
