Our take on Sniper Elite: Resistance
The description puts substantial emphasis on multiplayer modes alongside the campaign. The central story, however, is a specific WWII resistance operation, with those modes serving as additional ways to play rather than the campaign’s main focus.
What is Sniper Elite: Resistance?
Sniper Elite: Resistance is a third-person action game set in occupied France, with a story running parallel to Sniper Elite 5.
Players take the role of SOE agent Harry Hawker and work with the French Resistance to eliminate a new Nazi weapon. Campaign objectives offer multiple targets and choices of infiltration and extraction points. The campaign can be played in co-op, with players able to share equipment and assist each other during firefights.
Sniping involves accounting for gravity, wind, and heart rate, while weapon workbenches allow changes to rifles, secondary weapons, and pistols. The game also includes timed Propaganda missions, an invasion mode where an Axis sniper enters another player’s campaign, competitive battles for up to 16 players, and a Survival mode for groups of up to four.
