About Uprising44: The Silent Shadows
Uprising44: The Silent Shadows combines third-person action play with real-time strategy. It is a unique combination of the two modes of play, and has an in-depth and interesting story-line which has not yet been used in WWII computer games – the greatest civilian Uprising against Nazi occupying forces – the Warsaw Uprising. It is a story of the Silent Shadows - forerunners of modern day special forces - paratroopers dropped behind enemy lines to organize resistance and use diversionary tactics in the fight against the forces of the Third Reich. An appropriate audio-visual setting combined with cover system (an excellent, proven method of game play), the story-line, and diverse settings ensure a dynamic and enjoyable game not only for players familiar with this type of theme, but also those merely wanting casual entertainment.
Action Mode
Play through an over-the-shoulder perspective gives a sense of reality to small groups of soldiers fighting in the tight confines of a city. You venture through buildings, cellars, streets, ruins and underground canals and take part in seemingly real skirmishes. You have available to use 16 types of weapons, depending on the tactics you choose. You can take cover, give orders to comrades, fight at close quarters, or at a distance - to get advantage over a superior number of the enemy.
RTS Mode
You lead groups of uprisers that take part in heavy fighting on the streets of Warsaw. You as a leader will have to think strategically and improvise in quick changing situations of battle.

I got this game a long time ago and heard a bunch of horror stories about how terrible it was. After completing the game I have to say that it is not as terrible as what people made it seem to be. This game does have bugs and frustrating crashing issues, but for $2 it isn't that bad of an experience. I wouldn't say the game is good or bad, but it is certainly below average. [list] [b]Pros:[/b] [*]Low price [*]Interesting story [*]The mix of RTS sections was neat [/list] [list] [b]Cons:[/b] [*]Crashing (About 5-8 times total) [*]No checkpoints (So when you die or it crashes you have to start the level all over again.) [*]There is A LOT of aiming sway and it took awhile to get used to it. [*]Nearly everything is done with RMB on the RTS sections, which leads to accidental misclicks because the enemy hitboxes are small and their movement is jagged and difficult to predict. [*]Sometimes the audio cut out completely and wouldn't return until I moved on to the next level. [*]Level times range from 1-2 minutes to 10-15 minutes with the RTS sections being the longest levels. [*]The RTS sections are interesting, but your AI will usually miss their shots unless the enemy is 5 feet away. [*…2 found this helpful
Uprising44: The Silent Shadows is a World War II action title developed and published by DMD Enterprise that sets itself apart by exploring the Warsaw Uprising of 1944, a chapter of history that has rarely been represented in video games. Rather than following the familiar perspective of large Allied military operations, the game places players in the role of resistance fighters battling against occupying forces in a desperate struggle for survival and freedom. This historical focus immediately gives the experience a unique identity, emphasizing the bravery of ordinary citizens and underground operatives who fought under overwhelming circumstances. By centering its campaign on this significant event, the game attempts to balance entertainment with historical inspiration. Instead of relying solely on traditional third-person shooting, Uprising44 introduces a combination of direct combat and real-time strategy. Players participate in firefights from an over-the-shoulder viewpoint, making use of cover, maneuvering through ruined streets, and engaging enemies with a variety of firearms. At key moments, the perspective shifts to a tactical overview, allowing players to command squads o…
You could go outside and pick up a bowl of ants and still have less bugs.
For the proce of 1.99 Eur it is OK to play. Anything commemorating Warsaw Uprising or so called 63 Dazys of Honor is worth playing. Game looks like it was 12 years older than it is but still it is one of the rare games on this topic.
fantastic game, they need to make a part two
