GAME OVERVIEW
From the mind behind The Corridor comes It Takes a War—a team shooter that throws you right into the thick of it.
Every second is wild, every bullet hits hard. It’s fast, it’s rough, and if you want to survive, you’ve got to actually talk to your squad. Lone wolves won’t last long. You either pull together or you’re toast, simple as that.
Sure, there’s no “I” in “team,” but you know what? There is one in “victory.” That’s what you’re chasing. Matches run about 45 to 60 minutes, so don’t even think about jumping in unless you’ve got time—your crew needs you from the first shot to the last. Shard Squad

The maps? They look and sound so real you’ll probably forget it’s a game for a second. You get three combat classes to pick from, each with their own style. Go all-in with assault, dig in on defense, or slip through as support—whatever fits. There’s a spot for every kind of player.
And honestly, you need to talk. The voice chat isn’t just tacked on—it’s built for real-time chaos. Call out enemy spots, set up ambushes, or just freak out together when everything goes sideways. It’s about as close to real combat as you’d ever want.
The visuals crank up the realism, and the guns? They feel almost too real. No fluff, no silly extras—just raw, tactical action. If you can’t hold it together when the bullets start flying, you’re done.
One last thing—every bit of this game is made by people, not algorithms. No generative AI anywhere in sight. Just pure, handcrafted mayhem.
