How it feels
A slow, methodical, educational strategy game that feels like a grim, sobering historical simulation with deliberate pacing and a focus on conveying the harsh reality of modern conflict.

What players say
Players praise the tactical squad gameplay and customization, but are split on the heavy Russian propaganda, some call it a dealbreaker, others see it as expected. The campaign is short, around 10 hours, and many report the ally AI is dumb while the enemy can feel punishing. Technical problems, including long load times and pathfinding bugs, are common.
