Silent Heroes: Elite Troops Of WWII is an independent spin-off of the game Soldiers: Heroes of World War II, powered by GEM1 engine.
The Silent Heroes series consists of three standalone games set in the atmosphere of World War II. Each game features a story campaign of 10–11 missions with sabotage scenarios: from blowing up depots and rail tracks to capturing enemy headquarters and fortifications. The player is offered to take control of a small squad of elite Soviet fighters destined to face an incomparably stronger enemy. The gameplay is built on a combination of tactical strategy and action. Special emphasis is placed on the multitude of ways to complete mission objectives and on acquiring trophy weapons.
Silent Heroes Elite Troops of WWII (Saboteurs)
From the very first mission, the game throws you into the heat of battle: three soldiers must destroy an ammunition depot guarded by hundreds of German troops, armored vehicles, and tanks. Each of the ten missions tells a story of fighting against overwhelming odds, where survival depends on cunning, ambushes, and the ability to disappear quickly into the forests.
Saboteurs 2
The Great Patriotic War. The occupation of Vinnytsia. The landing of Soviet saboteurs was destroyed during descent, and only one person, sniper Kateryna Strelnykova, survived. Among the ruins and under the searchlights, in the very heart of enemy territory, she will have to complete the task for which her comrades died. At the end of her path, the heroine ends up in the “wolf’s den.” The stakes are at their highest, and there is only one way out: to slay the beast.
The distinctive feature of the game lies in its unconventional atmosphere with a vivid female protagonist and an emphasis on one-against-all action.
Saboteurs 3
September 1944. Deep in East Prussia, the Third Reich is reallocating resources and preparing hidden weaponry under conditions of absolute secrecy. Soviet intelligence has lost contact with the Center, and only a group of five experienced saboteurs led by GRU Major Mykola Lysytsyn has a chance to uncover the enemy’s plans. Their special operation “Storm” is a step into the unknown, where every decision may be the last. The game’s atmosphere immerses you in a world of espionage, the silence before the explosion, and unexpected encounters deep within enemy territory.
The gaming press noted that the project may interest connoisseurs of rigorous tactical challenges.
