About
Store description and overview from Steam.
From the creator of THE CORRIDOR comes It Takes a War - a team-based shooter with VISCERAL gunplay and RELENTLESS action. Throw yourself into RELENTLESSLY VISCERAL combat where survival is entirely dependent on communication.
There is no 'i' in 'team', but there is in VICTORY!

A devastatingly real depiction of the battlefield. You won't believe your eyes (or ears)!
Define your playstyle via one of three totally unique combat classes - play your way!
Revolutionary 'Voice Chat' allows you to connect with your team in real-time, sharing intel and strategies on the fly. OVER!
Ultra Realism - cutting edge graphics will transport you to the frontlines of battle... and beyond!
Realistic weapons - take down a well-armed foe with an assortment of very nice and very real-looking guns!
Communication is key - connect with your team in real-time via 'Voice Chat'!
Pure Combat - absolutely nothing under the surface to distract from VISCERAL TACTICAL ACTION!
