Technical issues and an extreme level of difficulty mar this otherwise fun World War II strategy game. Read Review
Soldiers is a third-person tactical action game that plays out like a blockbuster war movie.Based around the exploits of World War II, players control specialized units from Allied, German and Russian campaigns. Pitching the player headlong into the war-torn battlegrounds of Europe, gameplay delivers extremely realistic yet explosive combat scenarios. You take control of a small group of soldiers primarily engaged against overwhelming odds requiring stealth, guile, speed and aggression. Mission objectives include blowing railway tracks, kidnapping enemy officers, destroying convoys.
There are times when Soldiers: Heroes of World War II plays like an A-List game, sucking you into its world and causing the kind of sleep deprivation that only a really good game can. Unfortunately, those times are few and far between, which is a shame: Soldiers could have been a fantastic game, but in the end is brought down by technical issues, bugs, and a level of difficulty only a sadist would enjoy.

Play as British, U.S., German or Russian forces, with authentically modelled WWII vehicles, weapons and units - even ammo - and you'll experience the totally realistic penetration physics.
There's a fully-destructible environment (all buildings and other objects) and landscape becomes scarred as your artillery makes its mark and changes the terrain with shell-holes and trenches.
The control method combines the best of RTS and 3D-action gaming, using 'Team mode' to command and move an entire unit or 'Direct Control', where you jump into the thick of the action, get your hands dirty, and take control of a single soldier.
