WARSAW

The Warsaw Uprising (Polish: powstanie warszawskie; German: Warschauer Aufstand), shortly after the war also known as the August Uprising (Polish: powstanie sierpniowe), was a major World War II operation by the Polish underground resistance to liberate Warsaw from German occupation. It occurred in the summer of 1944, and it was led by the Polish resistance Home Army (Polish: Armia Krajowa). The uprising was timed to coincide with the retreat of the German forces from Poland ahead of the Soviet advance. While approaching the eastern suburbs of the city, the Red Army halted combat operations, enabling the Germans to regroup and defeat the Polish resistance and to destroy the city in retaliation. The Uprising was fought for 63 days with little outside support. It was the single largest military effort taken by any European resistance movement during World War II.
The Uprising began on 1 August 1944 as part of a nationwide Operation Tempest, launched at the time of the Soviet Lublin–Brest Offensive. The main Polish objectives were to drive the Germans out of Warsaw while helping the Allies defeat Germany. An additional, political goal of the Polish Underground State was to liberate Poland's capital and assert Polish sovereignty before the Soviet-backed Polish Committee of National Liberation could assume control. Other immediate causes included a threat of mass German round-ups of able-bodied Poles for "evacuation"; calls by Radio Moscow's Polish Service for uprising; and an emotional Polish desire for justice and revenge against the enemy after five years of German occupation.
Scholarship since the fall of the Soviet Union, combined with eyewitness accounts, has questioned Soviet motives and suggested their lack of support for the Warsaw Uprising represented their ambitions in Eastern Europe. The Red Army did not reinforce resistance fighters or provide air support. Declassified documents indicate that Joseph Stalin had tactically halted his forces from advancing on Warsaw in order to exhaust the Polish Home Army and to aid his political desires of turning Poland into a Soviet-aligned state. Scholars note the two month period of the Warsaw Uprising marked the start of the Cold War.
Casualties during the Warsaw Uprising were catastrophic. Although the exact number of casualties is unknown, it is estimated that about 16,000 members of the Polish resistance were killed and about 6,000 badly wounded. In addition, between 150,000 and 200,000 Polish civilians died, mostly from mass executions. Jews being harboured by Poles were exposed by German house-to-house clearances and mass evictions of entire neighbourhoods. The defeat of the Warsaw Uprising also further decimated urban areas of Poland.

First of all, I want to thank the developers for popularizing the history of Poland, and in particular the Warsaw Uprising. This is an important advantage of the game, which has an educational function. The gameplay in the game is simple, the combat system is a little unbalanced, a lot depends on randomness, but this adds hardcore. I especially liked the features of each story character, which make him unique. During the game, you have time to get used to the character and his mechanics, and his sudden death feels like a real loss. In this game, the player becomes attached to the heroes not due to the plot, but their gameplay features, due to which the value of each character is felt, each of them is difficult to lose. In general, the gameplay cannot be called very interesting, but the real story that the game tells impressed me very much.

I've only gotten through the tutorial and I am already thoroughly intrigued. I was very surprised this game was mixed, so I read some negative reviews. About a third are upset the game went free, another third are upset the gameplay changed as it developed, and the last third appear to be Nazis who are upset we get to burn them to death with flamethrowers.
It's a darkest dungeon style game that brings light to a piece of history almost every major faction wants swept under the rug.
Poland got it rough in world war two. There was no happy ending, no comeback, no recovery. They were promised to be saved if they were attacked, and were abandoned despite that alliance.
Brutal oppression under a combined force of Nazis and Commies (Lets not forget Russia and Germany were allied at the start of the war) wrecked the nation. Eventually, the Allies push the Poles to work with Russians to expel Germany using the resistance.. The Russians promised to back the uprising, "Attack the Germans from within, and we will attack them from outside!" ...
Long story short, The Russians posed up for an attack, and waited. The Polish Resistance fought like hell, but were matched against an intensely powerful force. They failed, and were wiped out. The Russians heard the gunfire stop, smiled, and attacked, having sacrificed the Polish to gimp the Germans (And so there would be no one left to oppose them when they brought Poland under the curtain)
The Allies? The good guys? Did nothing. Said nothing. Poland was a sacrifice, a gift to a beast from the East so it would eat the Germans for the West.
This story needs to be told, the people who sacrificed themselves to defeat the most evil threat the world has faced in hundreds of years should not be forgotten, but since every side committed an atrocity on these people, no one wants to remember them. The West wants to forget the fact they let these people die, Russia doesn't want anyone to draw attention to their treachery, and the Nazis don't like acknowledging how bad they got their asses beat by a bunch of civilians with outdated weapons. No one wants to remember this, which is exactly why we should.
I try to stick to reviewing games as games, but there is a huge importance to the story told here. It needs to be known, and this game is NOT A BAD GAME. It's intriguing, it involved decision making and some interesting interpretations of tactics onto the tile system of darkest dungeon. It really is fun, deep, and interesting.

An insanely overlooked game that gets bad rep for (admittedly) HEAVILY inspiring it's art style from Darkest Dungeon, the game has plenty of mechanics that weren't present in DD like ammo management, the ability to recruit un-upgradable units for short term help, top down map for more advanced exploration as well as plenty more, a believe that every Darkest Dungeon fan should at least give this game a try because the quality baffled me

A real good game. It's entertaining and teaches history. Waiting for next updates.
Cześć i Chwała Bohaterom

"A truly amazing game! The only problem I have with it is that before, it was called 'The City of Heroes' and just 'WARSAW RISING.' We could choose our own missions, and I really loved that about the game. The fact that you had to manage different districts was insanely awesome. However, after it was named 'The City of Heroes,' it lost that ability, and we have to do the same missions every time, every single playthrough. I feel like it lost the charm it had before. I understand that it's a historical game, but I still wish that we had the option to choose the missions since I loved it so much. Nevertheless, I still highly recommend it. I would just like to have what it was before back."

Free version of Darker dungeon,
The Developer had a very suspicious way of charging for the game then changing it to a low sum of free but hey can't complain free is free.
