At times it can become disorienting for a player who suddenly runs into the jungle only to find a hail of bullets zipping by. Visually, the game is immersive as players walk through the thick foliage of the jungle. Guadalcanal pits the Americans against a nighttime raid as the Japanese fight to overcome Marine defenses around the highly prized airfield, and Saipan is a gruesome fight of close-quarters combat in a factory, with small to large buildings and downstairs-to-upstairs combat. Those who progress inland will find better cover and concealment, but the Japanese players will have a field day as their snipers and machine gunners wreak havoc on the Marines’ attempts to advance. The American Marines start off on the beaches with only a beach ridge and barely any brush to conceal their position. Iwo Jima is one of the most infamous land battles of the Pacific War, and Rising Storm pulls no punches when it comes to this hellish and brutal fight. Each of these fighting groups will face a unique set of challenges on each of the six maps: Kwajalein, Iwo Jima, Saipan, Hanto, Peleliu, and Guadalcanal. Players can take on roles within the United States Marine Corps, the United States Army, the Imperial Japanese Army and the Japanese Special Naval Landing Force. The game was released as a beta in and was officially released May 30th.
The stand-alone expansion is available on Steam and is a fully modified game of the Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad first person shooter, taking gamers to the beaches and jungles of the Pacific as well as revisiting the Red Orchestra 2 predecessor. This is a nice change-up from the European fighting we’ve seen lately from first person shooters, and it tackles the sometimes difficult task of creating a balanced game between American and Japanese forces. The new release covers the brutal and desperate fighting in the Pacific Theater of World War II.
