=Overview=
[[File:Reviews.gif|Reviews|right]]Soldat is a unique 2D (side-view) multiplayer action game for Windows. It has been influenced by the best of games such as Liero, Worms, Quake, and Counter-Strike and provides a fast-paced gaming experience with tons of blood and flesh. Soldiers fight against each other in 2D battle arenas using a deadly arsenal of military weapons, across 7 default game modes. The game is free to play, with optional registration unlocking cosmetic features, such as colored jet flames and customizable interfaces.

Soldat was developed by Michał Marcinkowski (MM) beginning in November of 2001. MM is CEO of the independent game development group [https://pr.thd.vg Transhuman Design] and is also known for his work on games such as [[Crimson Glory]], [[R]] & [[link-dead]].

Soldat is coded in the Delphi programming language using the JEDI libraries. The first public beta (V 0.9.4b) was released on 09.05.2002. As time passed, the game changed from being developed exclusively by MM, to having many different developers that contribute in different ways, with MM still making the executive decisions for Soldat.

MM has previously promised to release Soldat as open source if he ever stops working on it himself (roughly around 2008). But after few years of his decreasing activity on Soldat (due to work on other games) this idea was abandoned, and Soldat was taken over the wings of a few community members that develop the game voluntarily in order to keep it alive. Nowadays the thought of making Soldat opensource is floating again.

As of April 2018, Shoozza (Gregor A. Cieslak) is the lead developer of Soldat, with the current goal being to release the next version on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_(software)| Steam].

=Overview=
[[File:Reviews.gif|Reviews|right]]Soldat is a unique 2D (side-view) multiplayer action game for Windows. It takes the best games like Liero, Worms, Quake and Counter-Strike and gives you fast action gameplay with tons of blood and flesh. Soldiers fight against each other in 2D battle arenas using a deadly military arsenal. The game is freeware. Registration unlocks extra aesthetic options, such as colored jet flames and custom interfaces.

The game's author (original developer) is Michał Marcinkowski (MM). He started working on Soldat in November, 2001. He also developed games called [[Crimson Glory]], [[R]] & [[link-dead]], and nowadays, he is the CEO of a game developing company called [https://pr.thd.vg Transhuman Design].

Soldat is coded in the Delphi programming language using the JEDI libraries. The first public beta (V 0.9.4b) was released on 09.05.2002. As time passed, the game changed from being developed exclusively by MM, to having many different developers that contribute in different ways, with MM still making the executive decisions for Soldat.

MM has previously promised to release Soldat as open source if he ever stops working on it himself (roughly around 2008). But after few years of his decreasing activity on Soldat (due to work on other games) this idea was abandoned, and Soldat was taken over the wings of a few community members that develop the game voluntarily in order to keep it alive. Nowadays the thought of making Soldat opensource is floating again.

Nowadays Shoozza is the main developer of the game. As it seems the main goal currently is to release the game on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_(software)| Steam].
