  Takedown: Red Sabre was supposed to revive the tactical shooter genre but it failed miserably after the publisher forced the developers to release the game before it was anywhere near finished. The game had initially gotten over $221,000 from Kickstarter supporters but the final product wasn't anything like the developers had envisioned. This game was launched before it was anywhere near completed, by the company's own admission, in a cash grab by the publisher. Do not buy it. The company has moved on to new projects like Epsilon and this game is no longer supported, meaning that the developers do not intend to release further patches or content for it. A summary of the situation is below. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=401409417

  Do you like ultra hardcore realistic tactical shooters that border on masochistic, giving you the ability to pretend you're a military genius capable of clearing an entire room of enemies with a single bullet ricocheting off walls? Don't get this game, buggy, unresponsive and downright crap. The AI is barely functional and has the incredible ability to spot and kill you through walls. Constantly. Moving a single step even crouched can alert an entire map to your position. Endlessly trawling through dull, drab environments looking for the solitary last enemy alive only to be sniped with a pistol through several brick walls across the map IS NOT FUN. Dropping an Action Man in to a blender and recording it in Slow-Motion is definitely more fun than this. Save your £3.99 for anything else.* *Not literally anything.

  TakeDown:RedSabre this game promised to bring back tactical shooters and re-invent a now dead genre. Needless to say that this is not the case. lets break down why the game is so bad. Gameplay: Terrible squad and enemy Artificial intelligence. they spend more time shooting at walls than each other. Meaningless customization: Three different armor types and multiple weapons that behaive exactly the same. The enemies can one shot kill you, no matter where they hit you regardless of armor. Interface: very difficult to traverse menus. Lack of visual settings Misc: Good luck setting up multi-player for friends. Now lets look at some other points. The price is currently set at $5.49 CDN, this is still way to much to buy this game for, in fact this is a game that you should not even accept as a gift. I bought 4 copies of this game for $5.49 TOTAL, so that my friends could suffer along with me. and finally let me remind you of the awards section of the store page. (with my own commentary in brackets) Awards FPS Guru - Pax Prime'13 Most Innovative The Most Innovative award is yet another indie title (Step your game up pax....). One of the great things about indie games is they always manage to be unique and bring something new to the table (Not always good). They're able to take the risks that triple A companies aren't. This is a company that has made the decision to skip following the generic shooter genre, let's get rid of levels(Maybe this is why there are only four maps...) , noob tubing, and throw in tactics (if by tactics they mean boredom) and strategy (and by strategy they mean endless buyers remorse) instead. Serellan LLC certainly deserves this award for (Ruining) their tactical shooter, Takedown: Red Sabre. (The name of the game also doubles as a request to valve) Takedown: Red Sabre encourages the player to communicate with their team mates (by yelling at the npcs for walking into walls) and take on each mission differently (in exactly the same fashion) , in their hope to survive. don't expect to be running and gunning down the hallways, because (good luck finding anyone to shoot) there's no respawning(apart from the fact that you turn into team mates after death). It's a (Dis)pleasure to see a return to the tactical shooter and what appears to be a(n) (un)successful return. Once I got my hands on Takedown: Red Sabre it was difficult to stop. (Because the menus wouldent let you.)

  They sold an unfinished game, but advertised it as finished. Its really bad. And it also damages similar games' reputations, when they are much better. They did make small fixes after about a week of it being out, so we could ACTUALLY USE THE SERVER BROWSER, but by the time it was done, no one played. And for good reason. DO. NOT. BUY. I pre-purchased this pile of poo. Never again.

  "Takedown: Red Sabre is largely unfinished but may have potential if it was finished" As a fan of tactical FPS games such as Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon and Arma I was excited to hear about Takedown: Red Sabre. Unfortunately, the game failed to live upto the hype, which was promised by the developers, as being a realistic tactical FPS. In almost every area of the game it's clear to see that the game was rushed with apparently no time spent whatsoever for polishing or improving the game before it's release. In terms of gameplay, majority of the game is actually there but it's poorly implemented. Enemies range from being completely unaware of you to being deadly accurate. The friendly AI is almost completely lacking, which makes singleplayer completely unenjoyable. However, the game's core mechanics are in fact there, which means that there is a small amount of fun to be had if you choose to play the game with friends. But be aware, there is no way to create private matches and there are no online games available at all at the time of writing this review. If you can live with some 'small' niggles such as the unbelievably slow walking speed, the fact that any height can kill you and the AI the game is playable but it just doesn't live up to what the developers promised. The level design is one of the few aspects of the game that appears to have been properly thought out with levels that feature tight hallways and open spaces which might create a tactical FPS if the game's mechanics were equally polished. The graphics aren't terrible (on low settings) and even lower end machines should be able to handle the game pretty easily. Overall, Takedown: Red Sabre is largely unfinished but might have some potential to live up to it's promises if someone took the time to finish it and give it the polish it desperately needs.

  Alright. Okay. Hear me out. This game's got some flaws. The movement is kinda clunky and the hit detection is a bit off. BUT What I'm trying to say here is that there's been a little bit of unfair criticism goin' on here. The brunt of it has been on this game's AI. People say it's "bad." But ask yourself this before you count yourself among them. What if this game just features the most advanced enemy morality system ever devised in a video game? What if, that time an enemy shot your teammate then stared at you doing nothing, what if he was simply, at that moment, being overwhelmed with the crushing reality of the fact that he'd just killed a human being? And you shot him in the face, didn't you? You didn't even think about it. You chalked it up to "bad AI." That terrorist had a name, it was Tom. Tom got up this morning, just like you did, put on his beret, kissed his wife and kids, and left for work. His oldest daughter had just gotten into college. It hadn't been the school she'd wanted but it was closer to home and that made her father happy. Tom's son had show-and-tell that day. He was bringing his dad's fatigues in to show off to his friends. He was 8 years old. The terrorist drove to work, just like he had every other day. He said his good mornings to his colleagues, clapping Jim on the back. He knew the man had just become a father. Jim's wife had asked him to come home a little early to take care of their baby girl that day. His mind kept wandering to his two favorite ladies back at home waiting for him. The sun was already bright outside, not a cloud in the sky. Tom was the one who always took care of the plants around the office. He didn't mind; it brought a smile to his face. Just a normal Thursday. They grabbed their bombs and headed out to their routine day of terrorism. Jim and Tom sat around playing cards. Tom couldn't ever seem to win; but he liked the companionable silence. He couldn't know what horror would soon break that silence forever. A green, egg-shaped object landed on Jim's lap. "Jim, what-?" A flash of light and a deafening boom. Jim's arms flung apart, the playing cards flying from his splayed fingers. Tom felt a spray of something warm spatter across his face. He stared into the space where Jim's torso had been, now a mass of ground meat. As he turned, mouth agape, the SWAT team was already entering the room, Jim's other colleagues crumpled at their feet by the door. There had been no screams, no chance to cry out. A gunshot erupted from somewhere, startling Tom. The sudden impact of the recoil from the gun in his hands surprised him. He hadn't even remembered picking the thing up. One of the SWAT officers jerked and toppled to the floor in a heap, one last monosyllable escaping his lips. Tom stood there over the man, mouth slightly open. He'd done this. He'd killed this person. Just moments earlier he had been playing cards. He hadn't meant to shoot the man. He looked down at the rifle in his hands. So heavy. So ugly. Tom dropped the weapon to the floor with a metallic clatter. He turned toward the other officers, raising his hands. "No, I didn't mean to, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to, it just-" He would have said these things. He would have been pushed to the floor and been handcuffed and gone quietly. He would have sat in his prison cell thinking about his family's smiling faces, haunted by the memories of his friends, gone in the blink of an eye one Thursday. He would have done a great many things. But the chance never came. Tom never heard the shots that killed him. He felt the first few rounds, but not the ones after. Everything that he'd ever known slowly drained out of the holes in the back of his head and onto the floor. The scent of his mother's perfume. His baptism. The feeling of his wife's hair against his face. Tom lay half headless on the floor on that sunny Thursday afternoon, surrounded by the twisted figures of his friends, the faint smell of smoke gradually fading from his failing brain. Overall 9/10 game, odd that there's no prone mechanic.

  This game had a lot of promise. The concept was solid. A tactical thinking-man's shooter. The dream come reality in 2014 fell short compared to a game made in 2005, SWAT 4. My biggest complaint is the AI is embarrassing. The enemy AI is oblivious. It never seems to respond to sound or much of the happenings in the environment. Only event that causes them to spring into action is if they catch the player visually in their line-of-sight. Additionally, the animations of enemies are robotic. As for the friendly AI, they are completely brain-dead. There are no real commands! You can tell them to stay and follow. Not look over there! Not stack up on this doorway! Not toss a flashbang in and clear! Nothing! I really wish this game lived up to my expectations, but it didn't. I cannot recommend it. Your time and money would be better spent on its inspirations, SWAT 4 and Rainbow Six.

  WARNING!! **** DO NOT BUY **** While this game is relatively inexpensive, it is priced far too high for its level of quality, and should be avoided. The game was not finished prior to launch and it remains laden with bugs and missing/broken features. Serellan (the developer) was never able to get dynamic shadows to function properly, even with the help of the game engine's developer, so the game's lighting is a bit off. Physics are a joke, characters do some strange things when they're killed and ragdoll physics take over, and the resulting odd behavioir is probably the only positive thing about the game because it might give you a laugh. Artificial intelligence of the enemy was "better than Chuck Norris" ridiculous when the game launched, and friendly AI is borked in the opposite direction, effectively eliminating any sort of "tactical" feel to the game. It plays like a really bad knockoff of a really bad game. Spend your money on something developed by someone that is capable and willing to produce a quality indie title. Setting $15 on fire and watching it burn would be more entertaining and worthwhile. * NOTE: It appears the new Steam tagging system is subject to heavy censorship/moderation. Every negative "popular" tag seems to have been scrubbed. Do publishers & game developers have a say as to what tags are ok and what must be removed? I sure hope not...

  Take this game down from Steam. Second game they abandon after a few little updates. Serellan LLC I gave you a second chance after the first screw up, but it was also the last one.
