Winter War 1939

Developed and published by Thorium Game Lab, Winter War 1939 is an ambitious independent military action game that explores one of World War II's lesser-known conflicts: the Winter War between Finland and the Soviet Union. Rather than delivering a heavily scripted campaign, the game embraces a sandbox philosophy that allows players to participate in large-scale historical battles with considerable freedom. Built by a solo developer, it combines first-person shooting, tactical squad leadership, and strategic battlefield management into a single experience. Its goal is not only to recreate historical engagements but also to let players experiment with different approaches to combat while experiencing the harsh conditions that defined this conflict.

Instead of simply controlling a single soldier, players can command AI teammates, issue battlefield orders, and shift between leadership and direct combat whenever necessary. The command system allows squads to defend positions, follow orders, or launch attacks, creating battles that feel dynamic rather than scripted. Hundreds of AI soldiers can occupy the batt…

DICE and EA are having wet dreams about this level of craftsmanship

The concept and general vibe is amazing! I love the concept, but unfortunately the game is currently quite unplayable. Issues: 1. No multiplayer. I understand, that this is challenging and costly, but I'd be willing to drop 10 or even 15 euros for it if it comes out fixed and with multiplayer. 2. The cursor is not locked into the game window.

This should not be hard at all to fix but unfixed, it makes the game unplayable, specially when flying the plane. 3. NPCs are laggy and slow, can't really understand what they're doing. Now for the positive things! 1. I love the plane mechanics. They're challenging to fly and that's exactly how I like it. You're being OCCUPIED by trying to maintain the control of the plane and I absolutely love that. Bombs can kill you if you drop them too close to the ground and that is also awesome. I would change very little about how the plane handles. 2. The vibe is just amazing! 3. Map is awesome, lack of minimap, pointers and that sort of things is really cool too. Again, you're being occupied by trying to navigate and understand what's where and wh…
