About this game
This third-person stealth shooter places you in World War II North Africa. Work through levels with multiple routes and objectives, choosing how to approach targets with a rifle or explosive traps. Shooting is also an exposure decision: loud environmental sounds can conceal a shot, while repeated unmasked gunfire helps enemies identify your position. Relocating can disrupt that search. Ballistics vary with difficulty, with bullet drop and wind becoming relevant under different settings. That makes the chosen difficulty part of how you plan a shot. Ultimate Edition includes additional campaign missions and weapons, and the campaign supports cooperative play. The Switch version also supports motion controls and the Pro Controller.
Collected in series

AI review
AI reviews are subjective assessments, not player ratings. See each review for its evidence and limitations.Published date:
A fit for players who prefer arranging a shot and its escape route to constant firing.
Sound masking and relocation can make firing position as important as aim. Multiple routes and difficulty-dependent ballistics may reward players who enjoy planning an approach and choosing how much shooting complexity to handle.
Strengths
- A shot's noise and the next position add tactical decisions beyond aiming.
- Multiple routes allow an approach to be shaped around the player's plan.
Weaknesses
- Players seeking uninterrupted gunfire may find concealment and repositioning work against that preference.
Who it is for: Stealth-shooter fans who enjoy route planning and deliberate rifle use.
Play notes: Bullet drop and wind depend on difficulty. X-ray kill cameras depict damage explicitly.
