2025 Editor's Rating

The game development studio, People Can Fly, created a humorous and satirical game called Duty Calls: The Calm Before The Storm. This game is a parody of the popular military shooter game, Call of Duty.

In Duty Calls, players take on the role of "Sergeant," a generic shooter protagonist. The game follows a linear storyline and takes players through various tropes and cliches that are common in games like Call of Duty.

The gameplay itself is simple and straightforward, with players being guided through the game via on-screen prompts and direction markers. The graphics are intentionally unimpressive, with blocky textures and low-resolution models that add to the satire of the game.

  • One of the highlights of the game is the hilarious voiceover commentary. The fictitious game narrator provides ridiculous observations and nonsensical advice with a serious tone typical of military shooter games.
  • Another notable aspect is the proportionate amount of time spent in cutscenes to actual gameplay, poking fun at how many military shooters prioritize cinematic events over action-packed gameplay.

Duty Calls serves as a lighthearted jibe at the familiar tropes found in popular military shooters like Call of Duty. It can be enjoyed by fans of the genre who are looking for a change of pace or simply as a bit of silly fun.
