'Land of War: The Beginning' Introduces Air Combat Mechanics

by Rainier on Feb. 8, 2021 @ 9:03 a.m. PST

Land of War: The Beginning is the world’s first, first-person shooter game fully dedicated to the outbreak of WWII in Poland on September 1939. It portraits the opening episodes and battles fought by Poles during the German invasion.

Land of War is a first-person shooter located in 1939 Poland during German “Blitzkrieg” invasion. The main character, private Piotr Kowalski, while being relocated to Mokra, gets accidentally involved in a series of intelligence encounters between Polish and German spies. His decisions will impact fates of many, possibly saving the world as we know it. His path will lead through many historical locations and battles of the 1939 campaign.

In the battle of Mokra, the player will fight against German panzer divisions using “Ur” anti-panzer gun as well as operating an armoured train. He will embark on a crazy raid in a TKS tankette to break through German blockade near Modlin, defend Hel peninsula and help separate it from mainland with explosives! All that in epic semi-open, beautifully modelled landscapes picturing forests, villages and towns of 1939 Poland.

Throughout the game the player will be able to find and use a lot of little-known arms and equipment used by both Polish and German troops during these early stages of WWII. He will use it in a variety of challenging episodes: battles, skirmishes, reconnaissance and sabotage missions. The main character will take on the role of an infantier, reconnaissance scout, artillery man as well as tank and train driver.

A set of carefully prepared missions will force the player to take decisions on how to cope with particular problems. Apart from the obvious continuous fire, some missions will require sniper skills, others may be best experienced with just a knife and some with patience. Most of them, however, will throw the payer straight into the middle of a fierce battle, where lightning fast reactions and tactical skills will be the only way to survive.

The fate of the hero is intertwined in between real historical events which lead us through the battle of Poland on September 1939…

The real Land of War.


MS Games is introducing a completely new mechanics and localization in the game Land of War – Air Combat in 1939.

"We have introduced a completely new scene to the game on which we will play as pilot of Polish-made PZL P.11c plane. The gameplay on this scene is extremely dynamic and full of twists," comments Krzysztof Stabryła - level designer. "It is also our tribute to Polish pilots who fought on all fronts of World War II, both in polish air force and in allied units."

"The decision to introduce this mechanic was caused by the desire to show the entire spectrum of warfare at the beginning of the II world war," adds Mateusz Stabryła - Head of Production at MS Games. "Thanks to this, we believe that players will experience a much better immersion with the game world and the story presented," he adds.

The creators have prepared a screenshot showing the air battle that the player will be able to take part in later stage in the game.
