卫国战争 The Patriotic War Reviews

14 hours of suprisingly great fun. Some mechanics did get lost in translation (You can reinforce with TAB whenever there are no enmies nearby) but that might get fixed overtime. A unique game with a level of detail that does the conflict justice, unlike some AAA projects that have tackled WW2 in recent years.

I like what you're doing. I want more of it. Don't be discouraged if you're a Westerner, most of the text dialogue has English translations. This is a fun little Skirmish game. **ATTENTION READER** I'm only giving this a negative review because it increases the chances of someone close to the dev team seeing and relaying what's being said. If you're thinking about buying the game JUST DO IT! It's simple, cute, fun, has an EA roadmap and it's cheap! Also if anything mentioned below is factually incorrect, please correct me as I've only got a few hours into the game and haven't gone through all of the campaign. What I like: The Squad/Class Individuality The Vehicles The Art Style The Structured Campaign The Combat Variation What I don't like: Battlefield Maps being locked behind Campaign Completion. The Battlefield Roguelike Perk System and slow grind of completing all a Battlefield's Objectives. The lack of buildable defenses or any sort of active logistics. Not being able to Enter a Tank as an Infantry Unit and not being able to Exit a Tank to become an Infantry Unit Not being able to swap direct control (perspectives) over Units and Squads under your Command What I suggest: Adding an Engineer Class and Squad More Vehicles like Patrol Car/Half Track/Katyusha Different, Changeable Uniforms if only for aesthetic purposes. Creating Build X/Fortify/Repair/Entrench/Lay Mines Commands accessible through the Command Wheels when you have the aforementioned Engineer Squad under your control. Adding a Formations tab that allows Squads to stay in a variety of relatively organized formations while standing, moving, and in combat. A Universal Mode that solves the last two things on my 'What I Don't Like' list. A Map Creator/Editor with access to most/all/more of the assets we see in-game and beyond. Adding audible callouts from your Unit and the AI for increased Immersion. Adding other well-known factions that participated in WW2 and the maps there-of. A grandiose game mode (or maybe a sequel? ;D) that utilizes the aspects of your warehouse/logistics and so forth and converts them into physical facilities that can be built within a Match, complete with Resource Procurement, Material and Product Manufacturing, and Supply Chain/Route Logistics with You overseeing the operations of a Company's worth of Squads. (Think "Foxhole" but much less complex, resource/time intensive, and singleplayer capable) Thank you for the game, it deserves more eyes on it.
