Total Conflict: Resistance

Total Conflict: Resistance is an unusual mixture of strategy, tactics and first-person combat. The player commands the state on the map, and he himself takes up arms when the battle begins. Economic, supply and policy issues are decided at the global level, and then selected transactions are sorted out in real time. Units obey orders, but you can take control of a fighter or vehicle. Weapons and equipment have different characteristics, and weather and terrain affect the results. The project was developed by a small studio in early access, so some of the systems are noticeably simpler than those of their larger brothers. But the scope of the plan is impressive. The soldiers obey orders, but if necessary, you can take control of one and carry out the operation personally. Equipment requires fuel and ammunition, so a lot of attention is paid to supplies. The map contains dozens of factions, and relationships with them develop on their own. Errors at the global level are not noticeable immediately, but after several hours of play. Factions wage their wars without the participation of the player, so the situation changes itself. Captured cities and factories provide resources, and therefore the opportunity to advance further. The settings allow you to simplify some of the systems if you want to focus on battles. The project continues to develop, so the rules change with updates. In addition to battles, there is an economy where issues of production and trade are resolved. Some of the rules can be relaxed if you want to focus on combat. Anyone who wants both scale and personal participation in the battle should take a closer look.
