27 of 27 · most liked firstDon't get this on Steam, get it on GOG instead. Reason being is Steam sells the game on v1.04, which is (at least to me) completely unplayable. Couldn't get it to launch on a modern pc, no matter how much i tweak around with it. Throughout my attempts of running this i came across numerous sources of people complaining about various issues that this version of the game is littered with, same as hard copies sold on Amazon. Gog appears to be the only place where you can get this game at v1.05,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty decent WWII game. You are playing in huge maps in either first oder third person perspective with a sqauad of up to 4 characters. You can switch between them whenever as you like, leaving the other three being controlled by AI. There are also vehicles with not half-bad driving physics. Heads-up for German customers: This version is completely uncensored and even shows swastikas, etc.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →once I got a bit excited by thinking I was chatting to someone who'd actually played the 2001 budget game goat Deadly Dozen until they said "I watched some gameplay and I'm sorry but I can tell it's bad" and I lost a part of me that day that I'll never get back
unlabelledView post →Sometimes it feels like video game releases are just for me. I mean there's a new Stuntman game coming out. Deadly Dozen got a remake. This is some Truman show type stuff. If a new Driver game gets announced I might enter a state of psychosis
unlabelledView post →WW2 squad based strategy/shooter, was released around the same time that Battlefield 1942 and Return to Castle Wolfenstein were topping the charts so it never really got the recognition it deserved. A forgotten gem.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I cannot run the game from the steam client but it works from the folder.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I remember this game being insanely difficult with no remorse or care for your enjoyment - so I tried it again thinking it may be easier now that it's running on some major hardware. Well no, it certainly is a hard and tactical as I remembered it... still an amazing game for its time so it gets my thumbs up.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I remember watching a cousin play this when I was like 8 or 9 years old. I'm so happy that Steam ported the game and it runs without any trouble on my laptop and the fact they simplified the controls too makes it way more playable. The game is super challenging even on Medium difficulty, so I'd recommend playing it on Easy then going from there. The games graphics are VERY dated so don't buy this game expecting Battlefield 5 style graphics, just some good ol nostalgic FPS shooting.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a shame to give this game a negative. And I'd give all games from this dev team a negative if not for the fact that I won't waste any more of my time. The years went by, they kept making new games and ZERO improvements! So I'll be refunding Deadly Dozen, Deadly Dozen: Pacific Theater, Deadly Reloaded, Elite Warriors: Vietnam and Line of Sight: Vietnam. It's all the same crap. It's open world. You get action frequently instead of roaming around without fighting like recent games. The…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →At it's core, Deadly Dozen has more in common with Rainbow Six than Medal of Honor. Missions must be planned out, operatives carefully chosen and equipped, and lots of trigger discipline used if you want to succeed. This makes for a very deep experience. Mechanically the game is very stuff, and the visuals have aged very poorly. This was a budget title back when it was first released. But if you crave a deep, tactical experience, that's equal parts strategy and shooter, then you might get some…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game was good when it came out, however this version will not run on a modern system. Changing compatability, making the exe read only, or launching from folder result in CTD.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Deadly Dozen is a fascinating artifact of early 2000s tactical shooters—ambitious, rough-edged, and quietly influential—standing apart from the loud, corridor-driven World War II action games that dominated its era. Developed by N-Fusion Interactive and published by Ziggurat, it offers a distinctly different vision of WWII combat: small-scale sabotage missions carried out by a handpicked squad of unconventional operatives. The premise itself telegraphs the game’s tone—these aren’t polished…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game reminds me old memories from my childhood.The 1st game that I've played in my whole life,when I was only 4 Good old game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →CoD was a WWII series until CoD4 came out in 2007. We still had like Medal of Honor Airborne/Vanguard and stuff in that window too. Sniper Elite, Men of Valor, Deadly Dozen, Brothers in Arms, so on and so forth. I just meant that Black is significantly better than CoD4, a game I hate lol
unlabelledView post →I once titled a video "Deadly Dozen Reloaded: A remake of a game no one played" and it did well. Proud of that one
unlabelledView post →Game where you have to complete missions using members of a motley crew of a dozen. Decent for its age.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's Hidden & Dangerous from Temu. The enemies shoot you from the fog and maybe sometimes before you can even see them, but there are lot of medkits in the maps. Finding the enemies can be difficult, because the gunshot sound is in mono so it's impossible to tell where they are based on that. The ally AI gets stuck on fences so you have to herd them like a pack of sheep. The mission goals are simple and taking down tanks is very forgiving as you can just shoot them anywhere a couple of times…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very interesting concept in a decent setting brought down by some of the worst audio I've ever heard, an absolutely atrocious draw distance where enemies will ALWAYS shoot you first, and most importantly, some horrendous friendly AI. Thankfully, these issues are fixed in the sequel, which you are better off playing instead.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is an old time classic that I used to play as a kid. It's an excellent game for its time. Each of the 10 missions requires a different set of tools and skills, so you must choose each member of your squad carefully. You have at your disposal 12 different soldiers with different combat abilities, but you can only take 4 of them at a time on the mission, but be careful, if you lose one of them in combat, it will no longer be available for the next mission. To complete the game you will need a…
