WARSAW RISING: City of Heroes

Imagine Darkest Dungeon in WW2 setting and you get Warsaw Rising: City of Heroes. At least that seems to have been the idea. WR isn't a bad attempt at all. The historical background of the uprising is interesting and during the missions you pick up a lot of the stories. The combat and management part is not bad. It does not have much depth though. There is a lot of unit variety, but the execution is not great. Saying it's an unpollished diamand is too much praise, but since its free why not give it a try.

It used to be an average tactical game. Unfortunately, it was transformed into a collection of missions with a linear plot (for "educational" purposes). The whole X-COM-like layer of commanding an uprising is simply gone... But it is still a game you can finish, and it offers some fun. -/+ Darkest Dungeon-style combat + nice graphics -- missing content

Developed by Pixelated Milk and Retrovibe Games and published by Instytut Pamięci Narodowej, WARSAW RISING: City of Heroes is a turn-based tactical role-playing game that explores one of the most dramatic and heartbreaking events of World War II through the eyes of the people who lived it. Instead of focusing on large armies, famous generals, or globe-spanning campaigns, the game tells a more intimate story centered on resistance fighters struggling to survive during the Warsaw Uprising.

The game places players in command of a group of insurgents fighting against occupying forces during the sixty-three days of the uprising. From the beginning, the tone is clear: this is not a tale of overwhelming military superiority or guaranteed triumph. Every mission feels like a desperate effort to secure supplies, protect civilians, and keep hope alive under impossible circumstances. The narrative constantly reminds players of the human cost of war, creating an atmosphere that is both compelling and emotionally impactful. Combat is built around turn-based t…

i would love to recommend it, but i cant, its clunky, combat system is weird and/or not explained well enough

Cool game, Heroes of might and magic in the reality of one of the most brutal, and yet underappreciated, theaters of WWII. Great animation style, cool gameplay - of course it's not an AAA title, but definitely a little gem.

Thumbs up for educational purposes, but it’s barely an interesting game. The gameplay is just walking around a simple Monopoly style map and dealing with enemies. The combat isn’t engaging, one of my squad members with a big rifle missed 3 shots in a row even with no barrier in the way, which is ridiculous. I rate the game positive only because it’s free.
