Good foundation to build on

After being shot once on the third level by a machinegunner he killed me immediately after respawning as I ran back onto the field (during the scripted sequence and before I could adjust his position using the arrow keys) which therefore guaranteed a loss. It's a good idea but I would suggest fixing a couple kinks in the code (killed during scripted respawn) and possibly some kind of between-level upgrade system of some kind. The mid-battle upgrades are a great idea and I loved them, but the gameplay feels quite shallow at this point.

feels... imba?

ok..
The Graphics were fitting. +2
Sound was nice, especially with those fitting accents. +3

Well, the gameplay...
It definately is a nice idea, and might end up fun, however, it feels imba. I dont know if it is, but it just feels that way.

The first level was a piece of cake. You just stand near that ammobox, run up and down a little and shoot everything by staying out of range. Sometimes you have to run out to nade a tank-thingie, but thats it. This almost feels a bit boring.

After that, the second level strikes.
It begins like the first level, but then, those guys with 2 bars appear. BOOM. Dead. Wtf-Signs in my eyes. Dead? He didnt even shoot me, didnt he?
Ok, respawned, tried staying out of range, failed, respawned, killed 1.
After that, a huge blob of tanks, nademan, riflemans and those 2-bar-guys appeared and I had [u]no[/u] chance of doing anything. I just died whereever I moved.
i had everything maxed at that time, but those guys just died and killed nothing. nothing, nada, nichts, no enemy died from them. Great.
Having no idea what to do about that (except for moving on tiny lines) I quit.

So, summarizing:
- nice idea
- Support guys useless
- extreme step of difficulty after level 1
- helplessness

This results in a +1 for gameplay.

So, give us a better chance to deal with high-range units. Maybe allow us to shoot in a little arc or something like that. Just dying without a chance sucks bad.

(Being doomed like that that soon didnt motivate me enough to bother searching for glitches)

Great game but...

Okay, to start off, the accents were authentic, the idea and execution were great, and you get to kill Nazis. However, your troops don't help at all, especially the Mortar Team. On level 3 when the first tank comes, I got the team and they just sat there loading the mortar. The tank killed them. Overall this game is very solid, just very difficult. What you should fix/add: A health bar? That would help the dificulty a lot, or you could make selectable difficulty modes. Cover? That would also make the game a little easier. Make the troops be able to help, it gets really annoying to kill the Nazis yourself. 4/5

Its good

Yeah its pretty good but it should be more hectic or rushed. It was a bit too slow. Overall its not bad but also the russian voice becomes annoying after while.

Damn mortars!

The game is fantastic, I love to russian accent too!
But the mortars a bugging me, and i can't figure out how to blow them up!
Aside of all that, Great game! Splendid! Fantastic!!
