Development and publication
The game was developed by Lion Game Lion, a Croatian Starbreeze partner studio that previously developed DLC content for Payday 2 . As a game engine was diesel from Overkill Software used. The budget was $ 8 million and was funded by Starbreeze Studios.
German customers of the game were initially excluded from the closed beta due to the unconstitutional symbols in the game . All other owners of Payday 2 could also get free access to closed beta. The game was first released on September 6th for Microsoft Windows and October 13th for Xbox One and PS4.
reception
The GameStar finds that Raid: World War 2 steals many ideas from Payday 2 , which works in some aspects, but also fails because of it. Although the idea of relocating the gameplay to the Second World War is not bad and the gameplay can be compared to the feature film Inglourious Basterds , three mistakes were made in the implementation. So the bad sides of Payday 2 were taken over without making improvements, and on the other hand important core elements were taken out of Payday . Furthermore, many possible ideas would not be introduced.
However, the varied and surprising missions and the choice to proceed quietly or with action-packed shooting are praised. So the mission design is highlighted because of a lot of intelligent ideas. It is also criticized that not as much team play and roles are required as in Payday 2 , since the characters' special abilities are limited and important items can also be found in the level. However, poor artificial intelligence that relies more on quantity than quality has been adopted. In addition, the graphic is criticized, which is based on the one from 2013, when Payday 2 appeared. The overall rating was 65 out of 100 points.
