The story in the game is generally well-received, featuring a gritty and emotionally engaging narrative centered on the Polish resistance during WWII, with each mission offering unique challenges and character dynamics. While the campaign is relatively short with only six extensive missions, players appreciate the depth and variety within each mission, as well as the strong voice acting and atmospheric presentation. However, some critiques mention a desire for more missions and a break from the WWII setting, alongside frustrations with gameplay mechanics that detract from the storytelling experience.
“The atmosphere is intense, with gritty visuals and a story that pulls you in emotionally.”
“What stands out most about Destructive Creation's work is the storytelling and the cinematic; 63 Days is another beautiful work, engaging and well-crafted.”
“63 Days is the story of the Polish resistance's desperate fight against the Nazi occupiers in Warsaw, Poland, in late 1944.”
“The story is there, nothing more to say about it other than it's quite Russophobic, but such are the times we are living in.”
“What lets the game down is not the story or the premise but the gameplay and level design. If, like me, you did not have it on easy, you find the levels are made to be completed one way and one way only, and rather than stealth, it is down to you to kill every single person on the map at times.”
“I really want to say I could recommend 63 Days but ultimately can't. The story is done very well and with care, but I had to play it in Polish as the English voice acting, like War Mongrels, is criminally bad.”

The gameplay in the reviewed titles is characterized by intricate mechanics and a strong emphasis on stealth tactics, reminiscent of classic games like Commandos and Desperados. While some players found the initial learning curve and tutorial lacking, many appreciated the depth and detail of the gameplay, noting that it becomes more enjoyable with familiarity. Overall, the games offer polished and immersive experiences, though some players mentioned minor bugs and a tendency for maps to feel repetitive.
“Mimimi games have much more interesting gameplay and attention to detail; they are still the benchmark.”
“The gameplay feels smooth and responsive once you are getting used to the controls.”
“Overall, I really enjoyed both RTT titles from Destructive Studios - a few minor bugs here and there, but overall really good and immersive gameplay and great maps.”
“I would also note quickly that I didn't really enjoy the tutorial, and I felt like although it did an adequate job of breaking down the gameplay mechanics, I still went into the first hour in the first mission sorting out the relationship between the brothers, their abilities, and the world you are playing through before it really clicked with me.”
“The combat mechanics suck.”
“The controls are a little complicated to get used to, but this shouldn't be surprising considering how mechanically dense it all is.”
