Heroes & Generals is a Danish MMOFPS - computer game , which combines elements from first-person shooters and strategy games , and the gameplay takes place at the time of the Second World War .
The game is being developed by the independent Danish developer studio Reto-Moto , whose founders created the developer studio IO Interactive and the Hitman series. According to the developer, it will be a "Mass Participation Game". The approach of the players in the first person shooter part of the game will have a direct impact on the strategy level. This distinguishes Heroes & Generals from other massively multiplayer online games .
Gameplay
Heroes & Generals is an online war game with multiple game modes that can be played from different angles. Be the hero on the battlefield, or the officer who makes the tactical decisions to win the battle, or the general who determines the strategy of entire divisions - or be another military link in the chain of command.
The course of the war is influenced by the actions and decisions of every single player on the battlefield.
The main part of the game is the team-based approach, similar to the gameplay of a first-person shooter. However, all battles are fought on an overarching game map that is influenced by the strategy level of the game. Resources and troops can be moved on a strategic game map. If two opposing teams meet, the fight is carried out from the first person perspective . The strategy side then provides the necessary funds for the battle.
For now there will be 3 game modes for the first person shooter part of the game. These are Assault ("storm attack"), Skirmish ("banter") and Interdiction ("lockdown"). In Assault is a game mode in which the main objective is the opposing team by the taking of bases to dominate (. Cf. Domination ). Skirmish represents the classic team deathmatch , while opposing supply routes are attacked in interdiction .
The game will feature light ground vehicles, armored vehicles and air forces from the Second World War. But the individual infantrymen also form an important part of the fighting. In large campaigns , the officers make tactical decisions that have a decisive influence on in- game support, troop supplies and war logistics . The players will encounter a diverse game world, which includes wide fields, war-torn natural landscapes and cities involved in war.
Features
Heroes & Generals will differ from other war games in some special features. An extraordinary abundance of vegetation in the game world will enable the player to effectively camouflage himself from enemy units (such as snipers ) in tall grass or bushes. This is supposed to create an extremely realistic feel that has only been achieved by a few computer games in this form so far. Heroes & Generals differs from many other war games in particular because of the division into RTS (Realtime Strategy) and the actual action game. Generals send troops into battles via an interactive war map, which are then used by players.
development
Heroes & Generals is powered by "Retox", a browser- based 3D game engine developed by Reto-Moto . This engine is currently in beta . The development model is referred to as "User Driven Development". This is a development process that is transparent for the player and makes it particularly possible to get in touch with the development team (in the form of suggestions for improvement, suggestions, criticisms, etc.).
Soundtrack
The soundtrack for the game is composed by Jesper Kyd . This already achieved a high level of awareness through the soundtracks he created for the Hitman series and the Assassin's Creed series.
Marketing and Publishing
On October 7, 2011, Reto-Moto published the first teaser trailer for Heroes & Generals exclusively on gametrailers.com. Further videos documenting the current development status of the game are available on the game's website. Heroes & Generals has also been available on Steam since 2014 and reached the seven million player mark in early 2016.
