Playing this game feels like a slow-burn tactical combat exercise where every move has weight and the world is grimly hostile.

What players say

Players praise the Linux and Mac support, especially on weak hardware, and enjoy the hardcore one-shot-kill realism that carries an anti-war message. Some say it has not aged well, noting a short campaign and no playable Soviet side, while others find the jank part of the charm.
