Anyone here played it? Is it any good?
RTS + management game where you play as a part of the Czech foreign legion stuck in Russia after the end of the First World War.
"Frostpunk meets Company of Heroes" from what I've heard.

Found myself autistically scavenging every map because I saw a tooltip saying I can replace my train, so far so good
>Anyone here played it? Is it any good?
Played it, not much though, because it crashed and deleted my save. Pretty awful overall.
Why is there always a thread for this
Because killing bolshevisks and their spiritual progeny IRL is illegal now for some unknown reason
Russophobic game. Do not recommend. And before you say zased like a foaming zoomer, consider if someone made a game discrediting your own great grandfathers.
>consider if someone made a game discrediting your own great grandfathers
nobody tell this guy about germans
>killing commies all the way
>russophobic
it makes orcs seethe so it's good
how?
it portrays the reds as, well, the reds
the whites were no different though, it's just the cruel reality of russia and that civil war
what the game doesn't mention is how the legion were pretty much bandits at that point and violence against civilians wasn't uncommon
I played it on release and it had some problems. For one the combat feels half baked and it was not fun. Train management was comfy but making squads, handing out weapons and skills and using morale items was a huge pain in the ass since there was no option to filter units. I dropped it when I was on the road to Omsk so I can't tell you much on the story though I am interested if it was gonna be we dindu nuffin later in the campaign.
Get better bait and stop shitting up this board
>Russophobic game.
Russians invaded Ukraine and now pretend they are all kisses and rainbows dindu muffins.
hilarious
Russians were rightfully butthurt over Company of Heroes 2 and they are slightly less but still kind of rightfully butthurt over this.
The frickery over Ukraine is unrelated.
>rightfully butthurt over Company of Heroes 2
>Human wave attacks leading to mass casualties
>Summary execution of troops deemed to be cowardly
>Only successes come from having far more they can afford to lose in a fight
With what is happening right now disproving the Russophile historians view of WW2, what exactly did they have to be rightly butthurt about? It just showed how Russians act in war.
>MUH HYOOMAN WAVES N SHIET
this is an unironic cope in order to make ukrainian losses seem palatable
>bry iyt's fyne wy'ry kyllyng a gyryllyn myskyvyte scym fyr evyry lyss of oyrs

More things change more they stay the same
If CoH1 was a Band of Brothers but as a game then CoH2 is Enemy at the Gates but as a game. And the main difference is that a Band of Brothers tells a story about seemingly flawless heroes, unlike Enemy at the Gates, which makes it look like the Soviets were far worse then Germans. And if you wehraboos will say that it's true, remember the marketing for this game - millions sacrificed, the true unspoken heroes, total war and so on. You'd expect them to be painted as tragic heroes winning the impossible.
Now to do a 180 in the game and to depict basically only Soviets as the bad guys (the protagonists, remember), with Germans being at best a bland, generic enemy, to whom your own allies are defecting, while your side is filled with genocidal maniacs who are evil for the sake of being evil, and even rightfully depicted cases of NKVD backstabbing polish partisans look odd and is just false marketing.
Stalingrad 1993 did everything right what a movie from the perspective of generally less perfect side can, CoH2 couldn't for some reason.
Not to mention that it's filled with german propaganda. Like actual german propaganda.
But the protagonist and ordinary soldiers are portrayed as heroes?
nameless conscript dindu nuffins, always victims, never actual heroes, and always getting shouted at by the higher-ups
the protagonist(the commander) doesn't even have balls to do anything, just take everything like a cuck
Play the game
I did.
Check missions 2 and 6.
Those exact missions show that those nameless conscripts are indeed heroes and that the problem is with their commanders
>Soviets were far worse then Germans
das rite
coh2 was quite accurate
>it's only ok when we shit on the germans, how dare you compare us russoBlack folk to them???
I wanted to but then I remembered these gays turned over Kolchak
they also fricked over Poles
played it too the end its pretty good the map feels comfy to look at and see your train go along the resource management is kinda okay some things can be ignored but you will definitely need a hospital car. The difficulty settings are some of the best i have seen you can change how much damage u or enimes take the resource consumption of your train to your liking. the music gets repetitive after some time but its pretty good the story is comfy overall pretty good game oh and the rts can be cheesed pretty easy with only scouts and 1 or 2 grenediers to deal with tanks
What does SilentStalker A.K.A. Frank Davis think of it?
Portrays the reds as comically evil and the whites as comically moronic. So its 10/10 for historical accuracy.
Its also a very long game, scale wise it feels fitting for a journey from moscow to Vladivostok.
Game's split mainly into two parts: Macro (Managing your train, supplies, soldiers etc) and micro (Missions where you control squads to fight the reds)
Best part (if you have train autism) is watching your train roll through the Siberian countryside, very comfy
