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.
The game will be available with additional paid DLCs containing:
- VIS P-35: This is the German version of the legendary Polish wz. 35 VIS. After taking over the F.B. Radom factory, the Wehrmacht resumed production in 1940 under the name P-35(p) removing the Polish emblem and the year of production. In total the occupants produced 312,000 pieces in several versions, which were gradually simplified. A small number of the pistols were manufactured in Poland, under conspiratorial conditions, from parts taken from the factory, with the barrels being made in the workshops of the Home Army in Warsaw.
- Thompson wz.28: Add the Thompson submachine gun wz.28 to your equipment! In the mid of the 1920s Poland purchased about 100 Thompson wz. 1921/3 (wz. 1928) for the National Police. In 1936 16 pieces were handed over for use in the Border Protection Corps. The weapon was used in the 1939 defensive war and later in partisan battle.
- Revolver Nagant wz. NG 30: It was a weapon produced in Poland by F.B. Radom under a licence bought in Belgium. 19,000 pieces were produced, of which 15,700 went into the armament of the National Police.
