Sniper Elite: Resistance

Sniper Elite: Resistance is a spin-off of the sniper action series launched in 2005. The game is the result of a collaboration between Rebellion studio, which oversees the development of the series, and Wushu Studios team.

Plot

Like previous titles under this banner, Sniper Elite: Resistance takes place during World War II and this time we go to France. The game's story happens parallel to the events of Sniper Elite 5. The main character is Harry Hawker, a special forces agent whose task is to neutralize the Wunderwaffe - a new weapon developed by the Germans, which would ensure their victory.

Gameplay

In Sniper Elite: Resistance we view the action from a third-person perspective (TPP). The game is based on the gameplay scheme known from previous parts of the series. The driving force of the game are missions that take us away from the front line and require the elimination of specific targets and the destruction of objects or sabotage, and finally - a safe evacuation from the area. Propaganda missions are a novelty - they are side quests that can be unlocked by finding special posters. These missions allow us to embody a resistance fighter and force us to achieve time-limited goals.

The tasks set before us can be accomplished in various ways. Although in theory we can engage in open firefights, our enemies usually have the numerical and technological advantage over us. This makes it usually a better option to sneak around and avoid them or eliminate them by surprise, or to take a sniper rifle and get rid of them from a safe distance.

The game provides us with a real arsenal from World War II period, which we can modify and improve as we progress. We can see the devastation that sniper rifle bullets wreak on enemy bodies thanks to a special X-ray camera, which essentially "scans" enemies at the moment they are hit by a bullet and brutally presents the damage inflicted on them.

Game modes

In Sniper Elite: Resistance we can play alone or in multiplayer mode. In addition to coop campaign and a horde mode, the game allows us to hunt other players in Invasion mode and try our hand at competitive gameplay for up to 16 people.
