63 Days

63 Days is a tactical real-time strategy, reminiscent of the popular Commandos series. The game was developed by the Polish studio Destructive Creations, whose portfolio includes such projects as Ancestors Legacy and, most of all, War Mongrels from the exact same genre.

Plot

The action of 63 Days was set in 1944, specifically - during the WW2 Warsaw Uprising. During the gameplay, we take control of a group of young insurgents who risk their lives to try to expel the German occupiers and fight for freedom for both their city and their entire homeland.

Mechanics

In 63 Days we see the action from a bird's eye view. During subsequent missions, we break through the ruined Warsaw and carry out various tasks, as well as face German soldiers. We lead a team of characters into battle, each of whom has an individual set of skills and strengths and weaknesses.

Even though our subordinates can fight, the enemy has a numerical and military advantage over them, so we can rarely rely on our own firepower. Instead, the key to success is most often meticulous planning of every action, acting quietly, as well as sneaking behind the backs of adversaries, diverting their attention and eliminating them by surprise (and then hiding their bodies). We also need to skillfully utilize the abilities of individual insurgents and coordinate their actions with each other.

Game modes

63 Days can be played alone or in online coop.

Technical aspects

63 Days runs on the Unreal Engine. The gameplay unfolds to the accompaniment of atmospheric music composed by Adam Skorupa.
