About Rising Storm Game of the Year Edition
✦ AI summary
Experience brutal Pacific island combat with up to 64 players, fighting as Americans or Japanese across iconic WWII battles like Iwo Jima and Guadalcanal. Rising Storm introduces asymmetrical warfare where each faction plays radically differently—Americans dominate with firepower while Japanese leverage banzai charges, booby traps, and close-quarters ferocity in a way no other shooter offers.
INCLUDES ALL RED ORCHESTRA 2 MULTIPLAYER CONTENT!
Rising Storm is the next game in the award-winning Red Orchestra franchise. You know the great gameplay, innovative features and realistic audio and graphics of RO2 - Rising Storm will take this to the Pacific Theater, adding even more features, new levels, new weapons and new factions. The game will allow the player to fight across iconic locations from the famous island-hopping campaigns in the Pacific from 1942 to 1945, as the US Army and Marine Corps fight it out with the Imperial Japanese army and Special Naval Landing Forces. Players will experience beach assaults, jungle fighting, close quarters night fighting and more across Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima and Saipan, among other iconic battles. The player is able to take the part of either side – American or Japanese – battling it out online in multiplayer on up to 64-player servers.
Rising Storm also introduces an entirely new type of gameplay to the franchise - asymmetrical warfare. The American’s have the apparent advantage in firepower with their fast firing semi-automatic rifles, fully automatic weapons, and devastating flamethrower. The Japanese balance this out with gameplay elements that model their raw courage, ferocity, and cunning use of equipment. Their knee mortars allow them to rain indirect fire down on their enemies from anywhere in the map. Grenades can be planted and turned into booby-traps for unwary GIs. The Japanese put very high store on close-quarter combat, with a bayonet on almost every weapon – even machine guns and SMGs. Their banzai charge suppresses the enemy making it difficult for them to return fire and gives them an opportunity to close in to use bayonets and katanas on their opponents.
Key Features

American firepower is matched by Japanese ferocity and guile with such features as banzai charges, booby-traps, the infamous “knee mortar” and more. This creates a unique gameplay experience that can’t be found anywhere else.
- WWII weaponry redefined – again: all of the weapon functionality you expect from the franchise returns - true to life ballistics, bullet penetration, breathing, adjustable sights, free aim, weapon bracing, and more, create WWII weaponry that has no equal. To that add over 20 new weapons including the devastating flamethrower and the portable “knee mortar”.
- Morale: Your soldier’s state of mind plays a bigger role than ever. Banzai charging Japanese soldiers can heavily suppress the Americans making it difficult to return fire and allowing the Japanese to close the distance.

The most realistic WW2 game out there.The Thompson is the best looking one I have ever seen in any game, I find myself shooting it just to enjoy the animations. The feeling of hitting someone long range and seeing the poof of blood is amazing. It has bullet drop, and you can adjust the sights for range. This is the only game i have ever seen to have the pop up sights actually work. The BAR and Thompsons have flip sights. The Surpression system is perfect! The screen effects really mess with your aiming. Graphics 10/10 Realism 10/10 Sound 10/10 Well worth every penny!1,466 found this helpful

สุดยอด WWII multiplayer FPS แปลกใจว่าทำไมคนเล่นน้อยกว่าที่คิด ทั้งที่คุณภาพเกมดีมากๆ เป็นการผสมผสานระหว่าง action และ realism ได้อย่างลงตัว18 found this helpful
Rising Storm is a remarkable entry in the realm of tactical World War II shooters, standing apart from mainstream titles through its commitment to authenticity, teamwork, and asymmetrical warfare. Developed by Tripwire Interactive and Anti Matter Games, and published by Tripwire itself, it serves as both an expansion and evolution of Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad, shifting the focus from the frozen battlefields of Europe to the brutal, sun-scorched islands of the Pacific. What emerges is an experience that is less about individual heroism and more about survival, communication, and the chaos of warfare in one of history’s most unforgiving theaters. The Pacific setting breathes new life into the Red Orchestra formula, introducing new factions, weapons, and tactical philosophies that clash in some of the most tense and grueling multiplayer battles ever realized in a first-person shooter. At its core, Rising Storm’s brilliance lies in its asymmetrical design. The American and Japanese forces could not be more different in both equipment and doctrine, and the game embraces those differences fully. The U.S. military brings superior firepower to the field—semi-automatic Garands,…7 found this helpful
