What players say
It used to be an average tactical game. Unfortunately, it was transformed into a collection of missions with a linear plot (for "educational" purposes).

The pivot to free and complete shift of the game's identity is a pretty strong betrayal of everything this game was and promised to be. Deeply disapointing, and their attempt to "used-car-salesman" their way through why they changed it from what it was once, but this makes it better! Is pretty sad too. Sucks but, bare minimum value is more people know about the Warsaw Rising. yayyy... thanks devs. Really really sad...
