Supporting a project can sometimes be risky, especially when the latter benefits from crowdfunding. It is for the 1944 battalion which was able to see the light of day thanks to the Kickstarter platform, having benefited from an impressive sum of 400,000 euros. If the future looks bright, its on this adventure Square Enix Who did not hesitate to buy 20% of the Bulkhead studio shares, soufflé unfortunately fell too quickly, and must be accepted violently…
Despite the brief success as it hit 16,000 players, Battalion 1944 was gradually abandoned by the community, and to make matters worse, the collaboration with Square Enix ended a few weeks after the title fell through. immediately afterwards, Bulkhead decided to rebrand his game by turning it into Battalion Legacy, and above all, he decided to make it completely free for players.which then makes it a real free game.
Today, nothing works, which is an understatement… Unfortunately for the developers, Legacy Squad struggles to get past ten players a dayAs a result, the studio made an important decision: He decided to compensate all those who participated in the financing of Kickstarter. For this, the developers have sent an email campaign, then thanking them for the support provided but also and above all by offering the possibility of compensating those who wish.
