Varangs studio has unveiled an updated demo version of the game "Razvedka: 1944" (or Red Recon: 1944). The project is positioned as an isometric real-time tactical game with stealth elements.
The events unfold during World War II. Players are invited to become the commander of a group of Soviet scouts, who are deployed to East Prussia in the autumn of 1944:
Under your command will be: a partisan from the Pskov forests, a Baltic Fleet marine, an experienced underground operative from Smolensk, a taiga hunter-sniper, and many other fighters. Each of them possesses unique skills acquired during the war and their own motivation to be in the squad.
The developers spoke about the improvements implemented in this demo version:
- Fixed an issue with camera movement when moving the cursor to the edge of the screen.
- Object highlighting (button "H") now also highlights enemies and cover.
- Added an auxiliary Unstuck option (button "U"): if the player's character gets stuck, they will be moved to the nearest valid point.
- Fixed several critical bugs.
