The sound design complements the visuals effectively, with authentic weapon sounds, explosions, and voice acting that bring the tension and chaos of war to life.

11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The main draw of the game is, I think, the innovative tactical combat, which was a lot more (realistic) depth than is common for the genre.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Our favorite mode is Stonewall, where you and up to three other players in co-op defend a small town against 16 increasingly powerful German attack waves.
