Set during World War II, Heroes & Generals pits the United States, Germany and the Soviet Union against one another in a war spanning multiple battles. Players can take the field as soldiers or command forces as generals.
As a soldier, choose roles such as infantry, recon, tank crew, paratrooper or fighter pilot. Fight over objectives in infantry engagements and larger battles that bring together troops, tanks and aircraft.
Battles contribute to the wider war, where generals strategize and deploy resources across the map. Players can unlock weapons, vehicles, aircraft, ammunition upgrades and combat badges; the stated campaign goal is to capture 15 cities.
Many reviewers look back fondly on the game, recalling its large battles, mix of shooter combat and a wider strategy layer, and time spent playing with friends. Some particularly valued the range of combat roles and the feeling that individual battles mattered to a larger war. Reviews also frequently mourn the closure of the official servers; others criticize the slow progression and monetization.
