Detailed user guide. From game launch to success!

Trench Warfare. The aim of the game is simple, destroy the opposing faction, and remain alive while doing so. This is achievable through the use of given weapons and mechanics, discussed here below!

You may traverse the menu / title screens using the simple click buttons overlay. The battle scene is entered through the ‘Axis Menu’ and then ‘Battle of the Somme’.

Moving about the scene can be done with the WASD, or ARROW keys. Use the following GIF as a guideline of what to expect. Alternatively, you may use SPACE to dash. This allows you to sprint short distances and escape danger more efficiently. Use the following gif to see the differences!

You also have an inventory with many weapons, you can alternate through these using the Q and E keys at your leisure. They include a rifle, pistol, and a knife. All of which may be discharged using the mouse 0 (or left click) button as you like. Examine the following GIF to see this in action!

The terrain is a scary place, with traps and dangers to look-out for. Stay away from the barbed wire surrounding the battlefield as it will cause you to bleed and lose health. On the subject of health, Red Medkits have been placed around the battlefield, once damaged, pick them up to re-gain your health back!

Use the following GIF as an example-

Each firearm has an ammunition capacity, visible while equipped from the bottom left-hand corner of the window. Once your magazine is empty you may press the R key to start the reload animation, once complete you may begin firing again!

Here is a few images as an example of that effect in action-

Enemies have large rifles, a good visibility, and a large range. Be cautious of them, as a direct engagement can often lead to pre-mature causality. In the event of soldier destruction, press the RESET SCENE button in the bottom right-hand corner of your canvas, this will reset the scene and allow you to retry the battle!

In the event you run out of ammunition, you may resort to your melee weapon. The knife. This is a last resort weapon and takes many attacks to destroy an enemy, try and master the animation cycle prior to launching a direct engagement with this weapon!

You are now fully equipped and ready to help your Kamerads in their fight, best of luck soldier!
