Compare Conflict: Denied Ops prices across trusted key stores and find the best deal. Developed by Pivotal Games. Published by Square Enix. Released on 2/8/2008. Available on PC. Genres: Action. Metacritic score: 58/100.

A 2008 military shooter that's all grind and no finesse, trapped between cover-based tactics and arcade action without mastering either.

I spent a few hours with Conflict: Denied Ops expecting a lean tactical experience set during a Venezuelan coup. What I got was a clunky cover shooter that can't decide if it wants to be Rainbow Six or Gears of War, and executes neither convincingly. The dual-operative setup (you control one soldier while AI handles the other) sounds smart on paper but creates constant friction. Your partner makes terrible decisions, gets stuck on geometry, and forces you to baby-sit rather than focus on your own mission. The campaign is repetitive grinding through linear maps with identical enemy placement and objectives that boil down to "clear this room, move to the next one." Gunplay feels sluggish, enemy AI is predictable, and there's no weight to combat that would justify slogging through 6-8 hours of this. At a sub-5 dollar price point it's technically not expensive, but even for a 16-year-old curio, your time is worth more. Alex, Scout Team

Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.

Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.

We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.
