"Eastern Germany, March 1964. The Great War has been raging for 50 years now. All you have ever known is the madness of the front lines and of men butchering each other. Suddenly, you are given a mission which, if successful, could put a stop to the carnage.
Watch out for all the dangers of a real war: machinegun bunkers, snipers, mines, tanks, aerial bombardments, muddy trenches, mine-carrying dogs that are trained to attack the enemy, etc. Weapons consist of a Russian short saber, a Heckler & Koch MP-6 'Wotan' assault pistol with a silencer fitted, a Remington M910 'Bull’s Eye' shotgun, a M203 40mm 'Clovis' grenade launcher, fragmentation and smoke grenades, and anti-personnel and magnetic mines.
Features
- Particular care has been taken with the creation of sound effects representing warfare eg. the impact of bullets into different materials: wood, flesh, iron, concrete, mud, etc..
- IronStorm takes real elements from the First World War (trenches, barbed wire fences, mines, gas warfare...) and combines them with more modern elements from the Second World War (radar, penicillin, automatic weapons, tanks...) as well as elements inspired by the Vietnam War (helicopters, lasers, electronics...).
- The player must face different types of enemy, all of whom have different fighting styles.
- First and third person player options "
My Score: N/A
Advantages: Reminds me of Return to Castle Wolfenstein.
Disadvantages: Definitely not an original idea.
