Much like in Darkest Dungeon, WARSAW’s characters each possess a variety of Skills that can be used for a number of tasks healing and buffing your comrades or damaging and debuffing your enemies. The most obvious of these improvements is in combat. In fact, aspects of WARSAW have been performed better than their counterparts from three years ago. On the surface, WARSAW is indeed familiar: there are many mechanics lifted straight from Red Hook Studios’ RPG masterwork, but these deviations often have twists that make WARSAW stand out. Immediate impressions of WARSAW were of the game’s similarity to 2016’s Darkest Dungeon, but you know what they say about books and covers. But can the Polish Home Army win…or even survive? The bright and beautiful ‘Paris of the East’ is ready for its liberation your band of brothers and sisters are but one in the largest resistance operation of the war.
It’s here, in the dawn of the Warsaw Uprising, that Pixilated Milk’s tactical RPG WARSAW begins. In the twilight of the Nazis’ crushing grip on Poland – featuring years of unthinkable atrocities performed against the oppressed – what remained of its resistance launched an uprising in Warsaw on the afternoon of August 1 st, 1944. That said, there is no greater story of Polish guts and glory than the Warsaw Uprising of 1944. Its experience of the Second World War is littered with last stands against goliaths, and all are celebrated by its people today as the moral victories they are. The ill-fated Battle of the Alamo is one of the most famous (and mythologised) battles in US history, with countless stories about it.īut no country today knows the value of a hopeless struggle for a just cause like Poland. The valiant, yet doomed, defence by the Greeks at Thermopylae became a legend in their native land. Tales of these struggles can inspire millions more to take up your cause and teach the lessons of sacrifice.
After all, it takes guts to continue a valiant fight even long after it’s become unwinnable, and guts begets glory. However, historians know too many struggles like these to dismiss them out of hand. There’s a certain sort of courage that comes with the hopeless struggle.
