What players say
As a person who speaks and can read Polish, this game really made me happy. You may see a lot of bad reviews for this game, but it was made by a small company.

Recommended. It was interesting to see Warsaw and other places in Poland from that time. The game does a great job of capturing the historical atmosphere.
Great idea to show September 1939 in FPS and German invasion of Poland. Much worse workmanship. Some missions are good but some bad from a gameplay perspective. Sometimes German soldiers behavior (AI) is 'surprising' I would say :) Worth to buy on sale... P.S. Never, ever played better FPS game ;-)
