The narrative will heavily emphasize environmental storytelling, and historical figures will significantly impact the plot. The course of the story will be influenced by your choices and their subsequent outcomes.

As a gamer, I’m thrilled to dive into the battlefield with an array of diverse weapon choices at my disposal!
