Immanitas Entertainment announces the digital release of
Uprising 44: The
Silent Shadows, their World War II action game, saying a boxed edition of
the third-person shooter/RTS hybrid will follow in the first quarter of next
year. The game is available through
Desura,
GamerZ Rebellion, and
McGame,
and here's word on what to expect:
Uprising 44 brings gamers closer to the
stories of struggles of civilians and insurgent forces against the Nazi
aggressor. It is a universal tale of heroism, patriotism and heroic struggle of
inhabitants of a city occupied by Nazi troops. The whole story is set in 1944
during an outbreak of one of the largest guerrilla operations in World War II -
the Warsaw Uprising.
TPS and RTS gameplay modes are smoothly switched depending on the development of
the game action. In TPP mode the player is the commander of a four-person party
– The Silent Shadows. With the tactical command system, he can command both the
entire squad, as well as its individual members. The advanced AI of the soldiers
allows for a tactical game, where an order may be given to an individual
soldier, depending on the situation, or a game with activated “Auto-behavior”
mode, where the player controls only his own hero and members of the squad act
according to their own assessment of the situation.
