Ravenfield

Ravenfield for Windows is a single-player first-person shooter video game created by Johan "SteelRaven7" Hassel, a Swedish developer. A free beta was first published on itch.io in July 2016, and the game was released on Steam on May 18th, 2017, on Windows, macOS, and Linux. The game is known for its active ragdoll physics and large scale combat modes, in addition to the variety of ways in which players can play. The game takes inspiration from game series Battlefield or Star Wars: Battlefront.

The game was released on the Steam gaming platform as an Early Access title after passing Steam Greenlight, meaning it is still a work in progress, yet has amassed quite a following; the free Beta 5 build is still offered on itch.io. The game has an "Overwhelmingly Positive" user rating on Steam, as well as a rich community of players who have added new weapons, vehicles, mods, and maps to the game's Steam Workshop page, for other players to download and add to their own gameplay. A level editor is included for creating custom maps. Ravenfield, as an early access game, receives large updates, each released as a numbered Early Access build. Players in the game can also choose whether to fight as infantry, or in aircraft, ground vehicles, or watercraft, while the rest of both armies is controlled by AI bots.

An earlier game mode entitled Conquest added elements of turn-based strategy to the existing theme of large scale combat; it was later removed, and the game now offers modes such as Spec Ops and a roguelike Arcade mode. While the game originally had no plot, campaign missions have been added in more recent updates. The game's creator, in addition to frequently updating the game, takes community feedback into account when designing the future of his game. The game has an iconic design of sorts, subverting the typical design language of AAA titles, and providing a more indie feel. The number of bots can be scaled to the performance of the computer, so the game can also run on older machines.

The game offers large scale single-player battles against AI bots, with control point maps similar to the Star Wars: Battlefront series.
