Gallipoli Reviews
Gallipoli continues the throughline of satisfying multiplayer shooter shenanigans and a real-world historical accuracy that the WW1 Game Series has prided itself on for more than a decade. Easily twinned to real-life battles and skirmishes, each map feels appropriately authentic and the strides it makes to a greater degree of realism, together with satisfying gunplay and the new Expeditions mode all make Gallipoli the best entry in the series to date, though a rickety framerate and occasional screen tearing do tarnish the overall package a little.
The game offers a realistic depiction of World War I battlefields. However, some players may find the combat less dynamic and therefore less appealing. If you choose the game for its authenticity, though, it won't disappoint. However, it could offer more maps and modes.

Gallipoli is a fantastic multiplayer shooter that isn’t your traditional run-and-gun affair. The development team have done amazing work to capture the atmosphere of the Gallipoli campaign with accurate environments and WW1 bolt-action gunplay. What I love about all of the titles that Blackmill Games have pushed out is how they nail the pacing and teamwork aspect. If you’re looking for a fast-paced shooter, then this might not be your bag, but the trade-off is satisfying, realistic warfare. If you fancy picking up a copy for yourself, which is discounted for a limited time on Xbox Series X/S, then you can do so HERE. Don’t forget that the game has Xbox Play Anywhere functionality, meaning you buy once and can play across Xbox Series X/S, PC and any handheld device compatible with your Xbox library.
Gallipoli is the WW1 series at its best, managing capturing a feeling of realism and fun simultaneously.
Gallipoli may have been a traumatic defeat for the British, in spite of ANZAC heroics, but it is a resounding success for BlackMill Games. This is the culmination of lessons and experience picked up in the previous three titles that have consistently set the bar not just for World War I shooters but large-scale warfare games as a whole. Gallipoli stands taller than the ancient ruins and towering hills it depicts, and is a strong contestant for best FPS of the year so far.
Gallipoli is the strongest entry in the WW1 Game Series so far. It's hardcore in its moment-to-moment gameplay but is still fairly accessible overall, giving players a wealth of class roles to choose from to help their side to victory. No two battles ever feel the same yet some will be left wanting more than a single game mode at launch, even if there is more content on the way.
Gallipoli is an all-around improvement for the World War I series, bringing sharper visuals and better gameplay to one of the conflict's least-explored fronts.
Gallipoli is not the next step up for the WW1 series. The authentic and realistic battles are still just as relentless and tactical as in previous instalments, but feel less varied and balanced. There are a few troublesome bugs, mediocre graphics and too many dull areas to call it a success. Although there is still plenty of challenge and fun to be had when playing as a team, Gallipoli fails to leave a lasting impression.

WWI - Gallipoli brings more intense WWI-era multiplayer shooting, with realistic depictions of all things war. It can be grim, and certainly makes us respect those who had to do this for real even more, but it’s a good way to remember the horrors of the past whilst still having some fun with large scale matches. It’s unique rhythm might not suit all, but if you’re after a shooter that feels different to almost everything else out there, then this comes recommended.
Gallipoli takes us back to the battlefields of the First World War with the series’ most impressive and dynamic audiovisual presentation to date. It brings an expanded arsenal of classes and abilities, but still struggles with the lingering issue of limited content.

Gallipoli is brutal, tactical WWI combat, featuring multiple environments, solid teamwork mechanics, and a new Ottoman Front setting. The core experience of the battlefield is compelling, though it still has some technical roughness.
Gallipoli is worthwhile for those who enjoy historical FPS games, with a more tactical pace and weapons that demand patience and technique rather than skill. It's not a game for those who want modern action, constant running, deceptive slides, supernatural jumps, easy aiming, and rewards every five seconds. It's tougher, slower, and less interested in being just another FPS. Here, it tries to blend a bit of simulation with the end-game experience, something that works well.

The Gallipoli delivers a familiar experience in its finest form—one that has been refined through a wealth of knowledge—while shifting the focus of the war to the Ottoman front lines in the Middle East.
