• Summary: With a corporation-takes-over-the-world-style plot, Bet On Soldier allows players to do exactly what it promises with its title - that is, bet on the outcome of encounters with specific enemies. Before entering battle, players can wager on which particular enemy soldiers they are going to kill. When they encounter this enemy in the game, a duel will take place. Depending on the outcome, the player will either lose his stake or win a prize calculated according to his opponent's rank, his initial stake, and the length of time it took to win. Accrued credits can be used to upgrade the player's character, in order to challenge progressively tougher opponents. The engrossing single-player game provides the player with an array of Elite Champion AIs, whom you encounter throughout the many levels, each with its own distinctive personality, ensuring variety in betting tactics. This original angle on combat also forms the basis for the multi-player mode, which has a variety of classes available to the 32 players in each game. Each class will utilise the wide selection of weapons in its own specific way. [Digital Jesters] Expand

  1. The progressive nature of the game will test the skilled player and you soon find out that the support soldiers you choose, the way you equip yourself, is very very important. Bet on Soldier is hard but then again presenting a challenge worth fighting through makes it even more appealing.

    A serviceable shooter hampered by a pile of small annoyances and lack of difficulty.
  3. It seems fairly clear that nobody ever gave the game a good play-through – both to see how blatantly unready the game was for retail in terms of testing, but also how bland and uninteresting the core gameplay is.

  2. How could someone give this game 10 or 9 or even 8?You cant save when you want enemies are very weak youre comrades are totally dumb and even the weapons are dull.The only good thing is the 1 vs 1 deathmatch in which you earn more many for a more faster kill of the opponent. Expand

    This is the worst game I have ever purchased. I'm not sure if they rushed it or what but for a final release version it sucks!! you can't play for more than a few minutes before it crashes even at the latest patch version 1.2. I thought they had a good thing going a different twist on teh FPS genre... but they missed the mark entirely with this release it should have been in beta for at least 6 - 12 months longer to work out compatability issues and then maybe they may have had a decent game.... nice try but no thanks.
