Domestic studio Alter Games and publishing house Daedalic Entertainment announced that the tactics "Partisans 1941" (or Partisans 1941), dedicated to the Great Patriotic War, will go on sale worldwide on October 14th. The game is currently in closed beta testing, which will last until September 21st. Based on it, final edits will be made before the premiere.
Along with the announcement, a peppy trailer was also presented with a cut of the gameplay of this curious game, which basically resembles the classic projects of the Commandos series from Pygo Games or the creations of the Mimimi Games studio like or Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun. However, it also offers resource management, guerrilla unit and base development, and other features.
According to the plot of "Partisans 1941", a prisoner of war and Red Army commander Alexei Zorin escaped from a Nazi concentration camp and joined a group of partisans fighting against the invaders. Players will recruit unique soldier and civilian heroes to carry out missions ranging from targeted sabotage to massive attacks on German supply lines in preparation for a front-wide offensive to buy more time for the defenders of Leningrad.
Between sorties, you need to expand and improve the camp in order to improve your troops. For a successful battle with the invaders, you will have to scout the situation, find the best position for an attack and carefully control the course of the battle, effectively using the tactical pause. The game promises to show the life of the partisans, in which cold, hunger, and injury were constant companions, although there were moments of joy. Often you have to make a difficult choice: for example, to help civilians, but to betray your position to the enemy.
The project is being created on the Unreal Engine, the declared duration of the story campaign will be 20-25 hours (excluding secondary missions). In April last year, the developers gameplay "Partizan 1941", then on the state of affairs and plans for the development of the project, and in August last year with answers to questions from players. Originally, Partisans 1941 was scheduled to release on PC last December, but then the game was postponed.
"Partisans 1941" There is no word yet on whether it will be released on consoles. I think it will depend on the success of the game on PC.
