  • gameplay
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized as a solid WWII hex field strategy experience set on the Eastern Front, featuring simple mechanics and adequate visuals.

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is criticized for lacking mission descriptions, tutorials, and explanations of game mechanics, which leaves players feeling lost. Repetitive audio elements, such as the "katyusha" and Soviet anthem, detract from the experience. However, the presence of multiple levels and missions offers players varied gameplay opportunities.

    • “There are several levels that are not always the same map, and there are several missions per map before you finish if you wish to do them, giving you more opportunity to do something each play.”
    • “There are no mission descriptions, no in-game tutorial, and no explanation of game mechanics.”
    • “Hearing 'Katyusha' or the Soviet anthem ten times in one mission makes you want to turn the sound off.”

  • music
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally praised for creating a strong atmosphere and enhancing the battlefield experience, though some players find the battle music selection to be an odd fit, suggesting it would be better suited for the main menu.

    • “The music is very good and sets a nice atmosphere, and the sounds of the battlefield are also excellent.”
    • “The choice of music for battles is pretty strange; it would be more suitable for the main menu theme.”
