After escaping a prison camp, Red Army commander Alexey Zorin gathers soldiers and local recruits into a partisan squad on the Eastern Front. Lead their resistance against the German occupation through missions that target enemy forces and infrastructure.
Command a small team in real time, pausing to study patrols and plan routes, distractions and ambushes. Missions combine stealth with tactical firefights, cover, weapons and each fighter’s abilities, giving you different ways to approach encounters.
Between missions, manage a hidden forest camp: gather supplies, build facilities, prepare equipment and develop your fighters. Recruit new partisans, assign camp tasks and use resources to support the squad’s continued operations.
Players who enjoy the game often praise the careful tactical planning, stealth and ambush options, and the ability to turn encounters into firefights. Reviews also highlight its wartime atmosphere, characters and voice acting, with some appreciating the camp activities between missions. Other players describe bugs, inconsistent enemy detection and awkward controls as frustrations, and some find stealth too restrictive or camp management too shallow.
