About Glory To The Heroes
Glory to the Heroes™ drops players onto faithfully recreated battlefields of the Russian‑Ukrainian War, blending massive combined‑arms combat with survival‑style immersion. The game stresses the experience of an ordinary enlisted soldier, aiming to convey the tragedy and scale of modern conflict while serving educational and journalistic purposes.
Players may join squads or act alone, moving through photogrammetry‑scanned environments that mirror real‑world locations. Every decision influences personal progression, gear retention, and the broader tactical picture, reinforcing the title’s commitment to historically grounded representation.
01 / THE GUIDE
Real‑World Map Reconstruction
Each map reproduces an actual battle using photogrammetry‑scanned objects such as shelled buildings and historic sites, layered onto real‑world landscape data from Ukraine. The environments span tight village skirmishes to expansive city‑wide operations, giving players varied tactical contexts that reflect genuine battle conditions.
Because the terrain matches authentic geography, line‑of‑sight, cover, and movement routes behave as they would in reality. Players who study the genuine layout can anticipate choke points and advantageous positions before entering combat, making map knowledge a concrete tactical asset.
- Compare in‑game landmarks with satellite imagery to plan routes.
- Use the differing map sizes to practice both close‑quarters and long‑range tactics.

Contact and Operations Modes
The “Contact” mode delivers high‑risk, fast‑paced engagements, while “Operations” offers a longer‑lasting strategic war that unfolds over extended timeframes. Both modes blend PvP, PvE, and hybrid PvPvE elements, allowing squads or solo players to shape outcomes.
In Contact, quick decision‑making and rapid fire dominate; Operations requires logistical planning, sustained coordination, and management of objectives over extended periods. This contrast encourages players to adapt tactics to the temporal and spatial demands of each mode.
- Start with Contact for quick action before tackling Operations.
- Coordinate resource use and objectives with squadmates in Operations.

Loadout Construction and Risk
Players assemble loadouts from an extensive arsenal of real‑world weapons, armor, tactical rigs, backpacks, and field equipment, or select pre‑built kits designed for specific roles such as assault or FPV operations. Every item carries distinct properties, limitations, and purposes.
All gear can be lost upon death, so choosing equipment involves weighing combat effectiveness against the potential loss. This risk forces players to consider weight, protection, and mission needs when building a loadout.
- Test different attachments to balance recoil and penetration.
- Prioritize lighter gear when planning long‑range movement.
04 / THE GUIDE
Physical Movement Mechanics
Character movement is governed by weight, inertia, stance, and momentum, allowing actions such as leaning, crouching, going prone, climbing, and vaulting. Speed and footstep noise adjust dynamically based on the combat situation, influencing detection.
Switching the weapon between shoulders changes the silhouette and exposure, letting players adapt to evolving threats while maintaining realistic handling. These mechanics create a deep physical feel that rewards careful positioning.
- Use crouch or prone to lower acoustic signature.
- Modulate speed to balance rapid movement with noise levels.
05 / THE GUIDE
Hardcore Injury Treatment
The medical system requires players to treat each wound individually, addressing bleeding, fractures, pain, and limb damage with specialized supplies. Neglecting treatment leads to rapid decline in combat effectiveness and health.
The range of injuries forces players to prioritize treatment, decide when to retreat for care, and weigh the tactical cost of staying engaged while wounded. Proper treatment can mean the difference between survival and death.
- Carry a range of medical items for different injury types.
- Address bleeding first, as it can quickly become fatal.
