Owned it already, but bought it again to show my support.

not my type of game, but love that it's getting more exposure after the groupees' bundle. hope it does well.

Solid game, i don`t think any one would regret the purchase.

I already gifted my friends their copies back in Groupees bundle era Wonder what will i do with the copy from IGS

It lags for me. Anyone know how to solve?

Recruits? My answer is strongly NO. I have this game from Groupees Greenlight Bundle. At that time it was sooo unoptimazed, so it was almost not possible to play at all. Total waste of money.
Yes, yes, i said previously that alpha is OK, but there is difference between "not much content " and "unplayable buggy".
Maybe things changed, but...

You must be extremely unlucky. I have played this game before and after Groupees and didn`t run into any glitches/optimization (whatever you might mean by this) issues.
Did you try posting/asking for Dev support? he seemed extremely helpful last time i spoke with him.

Well, probably it was individual compatibility problems, but considering engine this developer use...

There's a lot of new content in this build - including a sweet helicopter to fly

Just as a note, we have a demo available on Desura.

So if you want to be sure the game will be able to run on your setup, give it a shot.

Note that Recruits is a very demanding game, not so much from optimization issues but because it runs off of Unreal Engine 3.

Yeah, thats not "typical" small indie game run everywhere.

Mate, i hope you didn`t mean this as a bad thing

On a side note, the game could use some better tutorial imho i don't REALLY understand how stealth works till today even though i know this game for a long time already

@theflamingskunk
BTW, could you update Desura DRM-FREE and Groupees builds to 0.045 as well? Ppl start to ask

Already owned this one, and the bonuses don't really catch my eye. I'm also really broke, so I'll pass on buying it again here. That doesn't mean I don't support it here though!

Anyway, from what I've played (admittedly not much) the game is alright, if not terrifically groundbreaking. It does the squad-based combat well, and the graphics are extremely polished. Good stuff!

Any fans of the squad-based shooter thing should also check out Pineapple Smash Crew.

So, IGS provide (right now) more fresh build then other platforms? lol.
BTW, i sure its pretty hard to keep updated builds on various platforms, like Groupees and IGS, thats why developers love Steam and so on.
GnomeSlice, same here, i already have it as i wasnt very pleased...oh well, good luck to developer, but have to pass on it.

How do I redeem this game on Desura? I only see a download link.

Yeah, Toyotame is right in that there should be a "request desura key" blue button to get your key. Note that you will only get a desura key if you paid at least $1. Otherwise, you will only have a DRM-Free download link that you have referenced.

Thanks!

The demo is pretty outdated. The latest version is much more optimized than the demo and I get at least 20 more fps

I'm finding this game to be way to hard. I can't get past the first mission. Can't image how hard the other missions are. When is an easy mode going to be added for us casual gamers?
