Throw yourself into RELENTLESSLY VISCERAL combat where survival is entirely dependent on communication. There is no 'i' in 'team', but there is in VICTORY ! If possible, we recommend making sure you have enough time to play a full It Takes a War game in one session as not to disappoint your teammates. A single play of It Takes a War consists of around 45-60 minutes of playtime. A devastatingly real depiction of the battlefield. You won't believe your eyes (or ears)! Define your playstyle via one of three totally unique combat classes - play your way! Revolutionary 'Voice Chat' allows you to connect with your team in real-time, sharing intel and strategies on the fly. OVER! Ultra Realism - cutting edge graphics will transport you to the frontlines of battle... and beyond! Realistic weapons - take down a well-armed foe with an assortment of very nice and very real-looking guns! Communication is key - connect with your team in real-time via 'Voice Chat'!

Content descriptors

Guns and war-based violence, albeit mild. Some cartoonish/very low fidelity over the top blood and gore. Swearing.
