Red Orchestra: Heroes of Stalingrad is a tactical shooter and the successor to Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41–45 . It was released on September 14, 2011. It plays in the war against the Soviet Union from 1941 to 1945 , especially at the time of the Battle of Stalingrad .
The game has a multiplayer mode in which the interaction within small military units (mainly in a group framework ) is in the foreground. An internet connection and a valid Steam account are required to play.
In Red Orchestra, the developers try to convey the most realistic gameplay possible. For example, there is no HUD crosshair available to the player, as found in many other games , but only the respective sighting device of the weapon used by the player , which is based on the original models . A HUD health display, which is otherwise common in many games of the genre, is also missing. Many of the 3D models implemented in the game (especially armored vehicles and the player characters ) have hit zones .
Control is typical for the genre using a keyboard and mouse.
