One of the first stages of Russia's armed assault on Ukraine, which began on February 24, 2022, was the Battle of Hostomel. It began with a pr?empt to rapidly seize Kyiv with an airstrike, which failed and led to fighting for the city that lasted more than a month.
In the weeks that followed, the area changed hands, and the invaders finally abandoned it on April 1, 2022. Nonetheless, it was to these events that the Russian studio Cats Who Play decided to dedicate its real-time strategy (RTS) propaganda game titled Ukrainian Warfare: Gostomel Heroes.
In Ukrainian Warfare: Gostomel Heroes, we view events from a bird's eye view. During the gameplay, we take control of the aggressor's troops (buzzingly referred to as "heroes") and lead them over the course of successive operations. The Ukrainians (called "terrorists" by tw?rc?w) are not a playable side of the conflict.
The game does not feature life bars for units. Instead, the damage inflicted on them takes into account the strength of individual modules and the armor and firepower factors. Damage to the former affects their functionality, while a way to avoid losses is to use the shield system.
This is especially true for infantry, whose effectiveness on the battlefield is affected not only by their physical condition, but also by their morale. Buildings and objects also take damage in the process (based on physics).
Ukrainian Warfare: Gostomel Heroes puts infantry as well as vehicles and other machinery at the player's disposal. If the player finds that Russian equipment does not meet his needs, he can take over and use the equipment of Ukrainian defenders.
In addition, the game allows us to use smoke screens and drones, among other things, and make use of air strikes or artillery support.
In fact, during the "three-day special operation" that turned into a multi-year war, the Russian command was unable to control the army's logistics for weeks, which contributed greatly to its losses and the need to make a retreat from Kyiv.
However, the player cannot afford such a screw-up and send soldiers into battle without key resources. Thus, it is necessary to create supply lines, replenish ammunition and equipment, withdraw troops (to give them a chance to rest), as well as move to rescue the encircled (as otherwise they risk being annihilated or captured, as many real Russian "Soldat?s" have found out).
All this is important because the individual subordinates gain experience and their combat effectiveness increases as they progress. In addition, selected troops and vehicles can be transferred between missions.
