Bellum

Tactical shooters are a genre that, although quite popular among both players and developers, has not seen groundbreaking changes for many years. Frustrated by this fact, a YouTuber using the pseudonym Karmakut decided to take matters into his own hands and create his own production of this type. He was assisted by developers with projects like Arma 3, Squad, Ready or Not, and Ground Branch in their portfolios, united under the banner of Astarte Industries.

Gameplay

In Bellum the action is viewed from a first-person perspective (FPP).

Planning and tactics

The core of the gameplay consists of platoon-scale military operations, which must be meticulously planned based on available information and then carefully executed. Since it's impossible to predict all eventualities, the key to success is the ability to quickly react to changing situations on the battlefield and adapt your tactics accordingly.

Realism

This is particularly important because the game places a strong emphasis on realism. This is especially true for the damage system, which requires soldiers to provide medical assistance to their partners. Complementing this is a limited lives system, which means charging at enemies with a battle cry is rarely effective. Instead, it's better to focus on coordinating actions and cooperation within squads.

Arsenal

The available arsenal in the game is diverse and includes both standard firearms and weapons operated by multiple people, such as heavy machine guns, mortars, and rocket launchers.
