Steel Fury: Kharkov 1942 is based on real-life events that took
place from May 12 to 28, 1942, which engaged the Red Army in the fight
of their lives. During a vicious German counterattack that began on May
17, 1942, three Soviet Armies were surrounded and were forced to
fighting in what has become known as the "meat grinder." Through the
monstrous roar of tanks and military vehicles, and the blaring sounds
of war, players will experience bitterness at the loss of their
comrades during battle and elation when they are victorious.

other obstacles, allowing them to choose any path available to achieve
victory!

missions in three unique single-player campaigns, experience large
scale battles with numerous active vehicles.

with and command all units involved in the advance against the enemy,

Environments: The game engine supports dynamic lighting, featuring
night-time missions and different weather conditions. The engine's
particle system allows for realistic smoke and water effects, as well
as debris from explosions.

a tank-round can be destroyed. Vehicles can damage buildings and knock
down trees. Due to the advanced game engine, impacting shells create
craters and trenches take damaged when tanks run over them, deforming
the terrain.

complexity the game offers. Missions gradually raise the difficulty
level by introducing more vehicles, troops and harder to achieve
mission goals. Thanks to training missions, the player can easily learn
