Extremely good game. My great grandpa was a legionnaire. I feel this does him justice.1 found this helpful
This game is surprisingly good. I really respect the developers' decision to keep the dialogue in Czech, even though I don't understand a single word. Fortunately, the subtitles solve that problem perfectly. The lore is captivating, and I became interested enough in the story to do some research. I discovered that there really were trains full of Czechs crossing Russia during the October Revolution, which made the game even more fascinating. Overall, the game is solid. I encountered a few minor bugs, but nothing that couldn't be fixed by saving and reloading. The graphics are good, I'd give them a 4/5. My only complaint is that the zoom is too limited. I also would have liked to see more character development for some of the train's soldiers, even if they aren't based on historical figures. As for the combat system, the AI isn't exactly impressive. Sometimes soldiers run almost randomly toward the enemy, stop in the open, and get themselves killed. The enemies, on the other hand, are weaker and fewer than I expected, even on the highest difficulty. A complete journey across Russia took me around 25 hours. Once you reach the end, that's basically it: no DLC, no expansions, and …
One of my favorite games in the last few years. Love the story, the strategy, and the tough decisions that have to be made.
Pretty good "Oregon Trail style" RTS, about the Czechoslovak Legion trying to survive the red and white despots. You will make some hard choices, and on the higher difficulty you will have to micromanage resources and squads A LOT, but you can change the difficulty later on, *wink*.
One of the best games I have ever played. I am normally not into this genre but I have heavily enjoyed it. Best paried with the book:The March of the 70,000 which tells the real story. Must play for any fan of history or anyone who hates communist swine. The game is like a survival sim on the world map, almost like frostpunk but better. While the RTS style gameplay in missions is good. This game is very difficult if you play it how you will play. I will say the healing/management of some of the train mechanics is not very intuitive and you will need to pay attention and you will probably lose some people figuring out how to do something. Inside missions my only real complaint is the stealth, it works and is pretty good but sometimes objects you can hide behind are not very obvious. Walls youd think you would crouch behind will not hide you, only provide cover. This can be very frustrating on some of the urban maps before you figure it out. The other major struggle that exists on missions is when you try to kill someone on a machine gun or artillery piece, it seems nearly impossible to kill them without destroying the position. But when you do and you get to turn the red armies …
