Partisans 1941 combines stealth tactics with squad-based action, base-management and resource management. Escape from a Nazi prison camp and become the leader of a group of Soviet partisans made up of soldiers and civilians. You can recruit unique allies, tackle a variety of missions with them – from focused sabotage to extensive attacks on German supply lines – and expand your guerilla camp. To successfully fight the occupying forces, it is important to scout your environments, find the best position to ambush your enemies and control the flow of the fight by effectively using the tactical pause.
Features:
-
Fresh approach to the stealth tactics genre: A mix of combat, stealth, ambushes and a variety of special items brings chaos to the enemy ranks. Choose your own way of completing each mission.
-
