comment
War of Rights is a multiplayer first-person shooter being developed and published by Danish company Campfire Games, based on The American Civil War.Set during the Maryland campaign of 1862, which infamously culminated in the Battle of Antietam, the game puts players in the role of soldiers fighting for either the Union or Confederates in engagements of up to 300 at any given time.The game is notable for its meticulous attention to detail when it comes to rendering uniforms, weapons, and battlefields based on how they looked during the era. It's also notorious for its heavily grounded yet competitive gameplay, further incentivizing communication, army cohesion and unit formations.In development since 2012, War of Rights was released as a Steam Early Access title on December 3, 2018.

comment
Suddenly Significant City: Lampshaded. While some of the locales involved in the Maryland campaign have had some significance prior to the Civil War (notably Harper's Ferry and John Brown's raid), the narration points out how otherwise sleepy towns like Sharpsburg and the various farmsteads around them would become hotly contested battlegrounds due to the changing circumstances of both the Union and Confederate armies.

Glass Cannon
 War of Rights (Video Game) / int_2f253c94
comment
Glass Cannon: Usually positioned safely behind the frontlines, artillery can deliver devastating cannonades on enemy positions and with grapeshot, can serve as large shotguns in a pinch to whittle down advancing troops. On other hand, they take time to set up and aim, while their crews have little more than short swords for defense, making them especially vulnerable to charges if timed right.

comment
Super Drowning Skills: Downplayed. Wading into water isn't an automatic death sentence, allowing you to ford shallow crossings, but the penalties become progressively more severe the deeper you go. This can range from not being able to load your weapon, to having to raise your gear above the water line and eventually outright drowning.

comment
Big Badass Battle Sequence: So far, War of Rights features three pivotal battles from the Maryland campaign (Harper's Ferry, South Mountain, and Antietam). These, however, are so sweeping in scale that the game splits them up into multiple playable maps showing different phases and mini-theaters within said battles.

comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: War of Rights is notably challenging for newcomers. Anyone trying to "lone wolf" an enemy force or otherwise cheese through a match like an average multiplayer shooter will find out the hard way that the game's attention to detail extends to replicating the Civil War experience as much as possible.

Non-Uniform Uniform: Much like the real Civil War, there's considerable variety in standard uniforms, depending on the state or even individual regiment a unit's from. Among the most distinctive are New York's Zouave regiments and the rugged 14th Tennessee Infantry.

Easy Logistics: Downplayed. Infantrymen do have limited ammo (having 40 rounds at most). Given how death is frequent on the battlefield, and respawning replenishes said ammo stocks, the odds of running out are fairly minimal. They also don't have to worry about their guns malfunctioning, either.

 War of Rights (Video Game) / int_964ea66c
comment
A-Team Firing: Played With. Breech-loading rifles and rifled muskets are capable of accurately hitting the general direction where they're pointed at, but still require either careful aiming or massed volley fire to maximize the chance of hitting distant targets. On the other hand, smoothbore muskets are so inaccurate at range that they're individually unable to hit the broad side of a barn, and thus are effective only with either buck and ball ammunition or volley fire.

Shell-Shock Silence: Being in close proximity to an artillery barrage, standing too close to a cannon firing, or simply being on a receiving end of multiple missed volleys will severely disorient you for a few seconds, causing most audio to drown out, your vision to become heavily muted, and your aim to be significantly worse.

Pyrrhic Victory: How the Battle of Antietam is portrayed in the narration. Though a Union victory that helped lead to the Emancipation Proclamation, it came at a tremendous cost, being witness to the bloodiest single day on American soil, while General Lee and the Confederates would go on to fight another day. In-game, it's easy for one side to win a match by the skin of their teeth, with the battlefield strewn with blood-soaked corpses.

comment
All-or-Nothing Reloads: Thoroughly defied. Reloading a weapon, whether it's a musket, breech-loading rifle or revolver, is a time-consuming risk and requires you to finish the entire procedure (with muskets taking the longest) before being ready to fire. This can become harrowing when confronting an enemy line and especially when said enemies are charging right at you.

Fog of War: None in the conventional sense, but gunfire (especially after multiple musket volleys) can leave behind so much smoke that it easily obscures vision both for your side and the enemy's. This opens up valuable leeway to either sneak up or retreat to a more advantageous position.

Diegetic Interface: The game features a minimal HUD that can be switched off almost entirely. Aside from a separate map display and a compass, this also extends to how you have limited stamina and aiming down your firearm's sights is required to fire at all. Moreover, the in-game voice system works such that you could only hear those who are relatively close-by, making coordination and unit cohesion all the more relevant.

Video Game Cruelty Punishment: It is possible for players to kill their comrades, fire artillery on friendly positions, and go "Rambo" on (and subsequently dying to) enemies. The resulting deaths, however, will deal a dramatically sharp blow to morale, potentially giving victory to the opposition much sooner than otherwise.
