Steam reviews

What players say

Mostly positive: players praise the tactical RTS gameplay and unit customisation, but many say the game is heavy Russian propaganda and criticise the AI, accuracy and long loading times.

Most players who recommend the game enjoy its tactical depth: cover and suppression matter, infantry and vehicles behave believably, and squads grow and can be equipped and decorated between missions. Many reviewers say it is a solid successor to Syrian Warfare and Terminator: Dark Fate, with good music and interface. The most common complaint is the pro-Russian framing, which many reviewers call propaganda, though some say the game is still enjoyable despite it. Other frequent criticisms are weak pathfinding and AI, soldiers missing at close range, long loading and shader compile times, and a short campaign with no skirmish or multiplayer mode. Several reviewers say the replay value is limited. Players who decline to recommend it mostly object to the perspective and do not like the gameplay.

Praised

  • Tactical depth

    Cover, suppression and combined arms matter, rewarding careful planning and micromanagement of infantry.

    Many players
  • Unit customisation and progression

    Squads gain experience, can be re-equipped and decorated with medals between missions, which makes players protect their units.

    Many players
  • Fits the Warfare series

    Reviewers see it as an improved successor to Syrian Warfare and Terminator: Dark Fate, with a similar formula and a better engine.

    Many players
  • Atmosphere and presentation

    Real footage, tactical maps, a tense soundtrack and detailed recreations of real locations build a convincing atmosphere.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Russian propaganda

    Reviewers find the pro-Russian framing heavy-handed, though some say they can accept it or see it as no worse than other war games.

    Many players
  • AI pathfinding and accuracy

    Units get stuck or wander, and soldiers often miss even at close range, which players find frustrating.

    Many players
  • Long loading and shader times

    Starting, loading and returning to the menu take minutes, even from an SSD, which several players call painful.

    Some players
  • Short campaign, no skirmish

    Only about six long missions and no skirmish or multiplayer mode, so many players say there is little reason to continue.

    Some players
Who it suits
Players who enjoy tactical real-time strategy with squad management and who are willing to accept a strongly pro-Russian viewpoint.
Who should skip it
Players who object to propaganda or want a sandbox, skirmish or multiplayer game with more replay value.
