Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking turn-based planning may bounce off the real-time battle structure
- Players wanting a broad, open-ended strategy sandbox may find the 43-mission, two-campaign format restrictive
- Players looking for fantasy, science-fiction, or non-military settings will not find those themes here
Our take on Stalingrad
The likely bounce point arrives when managing more than 150 unit types in real time. Players who prefer deliberate, turn-based decisions may find the battlefield pace and large-scale command structure difficult to follow.
What is Stalingrad?
Stalingrad is a real-time strategy game covering events from June 1942 through January 1943.
