Enlisted is a squad-based first-person MMO shooter set in World War II, offering players immersive battles with authentic weapons, military vehicles, and a period-appropriate atmosphere. The game features massive clashes involving numerous soldiers, tanks, aircraft, artillery, and naval support.

Players in Enlisted have control over a squad of soldiers with diverse roles, such as submachine gun soldier, sniper, radio operator, and rifleman. Additionally, players can command a whole military vehicle crew or take on the role of an aircraft pilot. While one fighter is directly controlled, others autonomously follow general orders. The game's respawn system ensures continuous engagement by allowing players to join the battle with the next available squad, contributing to the team's victory in significant ways.
