The story of "63 Days" centers on the Polish resistance during the Nazi occupation of Warsaw in late 1944, featuring a darker, more emotional narrative compared to similar games. Each of the six extensive missions unfolds a unique storyline with varied objectives and challenges, allowing for multiple approaches to gameplay. While the storytelling and voice acting are praised for their depth and engagement, some players express frustration with gameplay mechanics and the overall length of the campaign.
- “The atmosphere is intense, with gritty visuals and a story that pulls you in emotionally.”
- “63 Days is the story of the Polish resistance's desperate fight against the Nazi occupiers in Warsaw, Poland, in late 1944.”
- “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.”
- “The story is there, nothing more to say about it rather than it's quite russophobic, but such are the times we are living in.”
- “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 is criminally bad.”
- “What lets the game down is not the story or the premise but the gameplay and level design, as you go through 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.”

The gameplay is characterized by a blend of classic real-time tactics mechanics with a focus on both stealth and aggressive combat, allowing players to choose their approach. While the tutorial may not effectively convey the complexities of the mechanics, many players find that familiarity with the controls enhances the overall experience, leading to smooth and responsive gameplay. However, some users noted that the game can feel repetitive and that the combat mechanics could use improvement.
- “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 (although can get a bit same-y).”
- “The gameplay feels smooth and responsive once you are getting used to the controls.”
- “⭐ Overall very polished, unique and enjoyable gameplay.”
- “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 controls are a little complicated to get used to, but this shouldn't be surprising considering how mechanically dense it all is.”
- “The gameplay is the same as WM, with the same planning mode and gun mode, but an important detail when compared to the former game is that now the enemies have grenades, so even if you’re out of sight, behind a wall or on a roof, the enemies can still kill you very quickly.”
