A realistic FPS set on the Italian front of World War I, during the battles for the valley of the title river. Isonzo, like previous works by Blackmill Games and M2H, was developed for multiplayer.
Isonzo is a realistic FPS developed for multiplayer, which takes us back to the times of the First World War. The game is the result of cooperation between M2H and Blackmill Games and is the third part of the series of first-war shooters launched in 2015, which includes the Tannenberg games.
Isonzo takes us to the Italian front of World War I, or more precisely - to the valley of the title river, over which twelve battles were fought in 1915-1917. During the game we take sides of the conflict and, as Italian or Austro-Hungarian soldiers, we take part in fights for this territory.
In Isonzo we observe the action from a first person perspective (FPP). We take part in battles that include storming mountain fortifications (many of which are located at impressive heights), fighting on the streets of ruined cities and crossing the valley of the river. Our role and equipment determines what weapons we use and what options we have on the battlefield. Nothing prevents you from fighting on the front line, eliminating enemies with small arms, rifles or bayonets. But we can also focus on more refined operations, taking on the role of snipers, mortar operators or engineers who sabotage enemy operations. The diversity of specialisations means teamwork is key to success.
Isonzo is a game designed for multiplayer. Among the available game modes the leading one is Offensive, which is a new module, in which, depending on the selected side of the conflict, we occupy defensive positions and repel enemy attacks, or on the contrary - we take part in the offensive and attack positions where the enemies have dug in.
Graphics of Isonzo presents a high quality, but the strongest part of the game is attachment to historical details. Not only are the weapons and uniforms of soldiers from both sides of the conflict rendered with an almost photographic attention to detail, but also the battlefields are modelled on real locations.

PC Gamer: 78 / 100 by Morgan Park
We're in a milsim boom and Isonzo's thrilling, if limiting battlefields fit nicely into it.
MonsterVine: 4.5 / 5 by Shannon P. Drake
I feel like you know if you want to give a World War 1 shooter a try. This is a niche thing and you know if you’re in it. Also hi, haven’t seen you at the niche meetings.
GameWatcher: 6 / 10 by Mick Fraser
Blackmill Games' dedication to history and realism is certainly commendable, but the result is a game that will only appeal to a very select audience. That said, Isonzo is capable of producing some incredibly tense and atmospheric gameplay.
