Soldiers: Heroes of World War II Demo

World War II spanned across almost six years and it was the conflict with the largest number of human lives lost in the process. A great deal of vicious battles took place as well, some of which got their own place in history for being extremely violent and bloody.

Soldiers: Heroes of World War II is a strategy game that features a somewhat different gameplay styles from the rest of the games on the market, going on the idea that small teams of specialized soldiers are just as effective and dangerous as entire battalions, especially when used correctly. Thus, most of the time, you are in control of a handful of soldiers at a time, each one of which is vital in the final outcome of the mission.

Because of this, your playing style must change as well, since you cannot afford to throw away units with every confrontation and you are now required to take more care of each individual down on the battlefield. This usually results in a more protective gameplay style, meaning that you base your tactics more on ambushes and surprise attacks, rather than head-on battles in open fields.

Another interesting gimmick that's part of the game is the fact that you can jump straight into one of your units and manually control it around the battlefield, which adds yet another layer to the tactical options that are available to you. Soldiers can even scavenge for weapons and supplies on the bodies of fallen enemies, as well as use their inventory to equip better items.

Direct control over a tank also allows you to manage its turret as well, which means that you can manually aim and launch the projectiles, rather than let the AI handle that. An ingenious system makes sure that every hit does a certain amount of damage, going as far as allowing you to disable the tracks of an enemy tank and immobilize it in place.

In the end, Soldiers: Heroes of World War II also shines when it comes to visual quality, especially thanks to the incredible amount of detail that can be seen in the surrounding landscapes, which include vegetation, demolished buildings and even statues. Thus, the atmosphere gets significantly more enjoyable and you can immerse into the game much easier.
