Why players love itThings to know
50% of themes are praise17% are divided33% are complaints
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
63 of 284 sampled reviews raised it
If you enjoy pseudo-realistic, easy to learn but hard to master tactical gameplay with an high degree of micro-management and some save-scumming, Ukrainian Warfare: Gostomel Heroes is in the prime league level of military RTS.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
32 of 284 sampled reviews raised it
Ultimately, the story pays far more credit to the capable Ukrainian forces than you would ever expect and even glazes the Georgian Legion a bit.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
19 of 284 sampled reviews raised it
The game is fair with its balancing, and particularly realistic with its vehicle combat system.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
15 of 284 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay and graphics were definitely a step up from their previous games, as was the cover system.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
14 of 284 sampled reviews raised it
You really feel the difficulty of the situation during the operation and thankfully they give you AI ally units so you can focus (of course by not completely abandoning your ally!) elsewhere.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
13 of 284 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack by EDLISE is once again FIRE, and has some really catchy tracks among it.
