United 1944was bleeding out before my eyes. The first day I played this WWII-themed squad shooter, there were barely enough players to fill a single server. Each day, the number has dwindled. The life draining out of a young, promising game, barely days into Early Access.

As it stands, United 1944 is two surprisingly different games sharing a set of mechanics. One, a 16v16 team shooter that draws equal inspiration from Day Of Defeat, Battlefield, and survival sandboxes. The other, a low-stakes take on the extraction shooter formula that doesn’t feel nearly as well thought out as its big-team counterpart. Between them, a game with a lot of potential, at least when there’s enough players to fill a match.
