Our take on Soviet Soldier
Rather than presenting a single linear wartime campaign, this FPS spans four campaigns and asks players to influence Soviet history through personal, military, and political decisions. Its six endings replace a fixed conclusion with outcomes shaped by choices whose effects may not always be immediately clear.
What is Soviet Soldier?
Soviet Soldier is a story-driven first-person shooter set across four campaigns and 14 levels covering the Great Patriotic War and Cold War.
Battles take place in locations including Stalingrad, Berlin, Hungary, and Afghanistan, with the 1991 coup also forming part of the narrative. Choices affect relationships, historical events, and the game’s conclusion. Characters can be supported, deceived, or betrayed, while decisions include responses to prisoners, uprisings, KGB directives, and the future of the Soviet Union. The arsenal spans Soviet weapons from different periods, including the Mosin-Nagant and AK-47. Six endings are determined by player choices, including decisions whose eventual effects may not be immediately clear.
