Broken by Name, and a Bit by Nature - Broken Arrow A Fair But Honest Review
44Broken Arrow Review – Honest Thoughts After Release
Broken by name... and a bit by nature. In this video, I give my full, fair, and honest review of Broken Arrow, the long-awaited modern warfare RTS from Slitherine and Steel Balalaika. Whether you're here for the tactical nukes, deck building, or chaotic 5v5 multiplayer, I cover everything from the campaign’s highs and lows to the current state of skirmish, scenarios, and performance.
This isn’t a hype piece—it’s a proper look at what Broken Arrow does well, where it stumbles, and whether it’s worth your time right now, especially if you're more of a single-player fan.
We’ll talk campaign frustrations, deck-building depth, gameplay mechanics, multiplayer matchmaking, and whether this modern military RTS can live up to its promise. I’ll also share my personal experience after spending time with the game pre- and post-launch.
