Workers of War

Workers of War is a made-in-Nazar Production Company FPS game. The game takes place in the Great War between 1914 and 1918.

Gameplay
The game is solemly focused on singleplayer but the weapons, equipments and uniforms are faction-specific and period-specific. So the players can't find any portable assault rifles. There's no health regeneration, nor health/armor status bar so the players must watch their steps. The AI has been upgraded to a better system so the players can order them accordingly but at the same time, the war will look bitter and more brutal. The ammo status is also absent so every shot must be counted carefully.

Singleplayer
The game takes place in the Great War, between 1914 and 1918. When you can play as the Entente, the game also features stories from the Central Powers. The playable armies in the Entente are Royal Italian Army, US Expeditionary Forces, ANZAC, British Army, Serbian Army, French Army, Canadian Army and Imperial Russian Army while the ones from the Central Powers are Ottoman Army, Austro-Hungarian Army, Imperial German Army and Bulgarian Army. Additonally, you can play as Gavrilo Princip during the deaths of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife, Duchess Sophie in the campaign's prologue.

Story
In June 1914, a car that is carrying Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife "Duchess Sophie, takes the wrong turn to the place where Gavrilo Princip arrives. He gets past the guard and hides inside the applauding crowd. Then, he draws hi FN Model 1910 pistol and fires two shots on Archduke Ferdinand and his wife before the crowd's eyes. After the moments, he tries to flee but gets caught by the guards and local policemen. Then, the Europe's worst nightmare becomes true: The Great War breaks out.

After the assassination, the first flame of war engulfs in the Mountain of Cer. A young and eager Serbian soldier named "Nikola Djordjevic" fights alongside his men. He and his comrades clear out the MG nests and artillery positions. Then, the perspective switches to a Polish-ancestry Austro-Hungarian soldier named "Stefan Oliwa". He does his best to hold the Serbians off but after seeing his friends die, he requests his commander to pull back immediately. The commander takes several men and creates a diversion team to prevent more casualties. As the Austro-Hungarian troops fall back from Serbia, Stefan and his selected troops take cover in the slopes of Cer Mountain. After they run out of ammo, Stefan orders his men to fix bayonets and charge. Then, they have melee combat. As the Austro-Hungarian troops evacuated the Mountain of Cer, and both Stefan's troops and Serbians die in their melee combat, he and Nikola stare at each other and aim their rifles at the foreheads. Then, the first QTE-esque option happens.

If you kill Stefan, Nikola notices a photograph and takes it out from his chest pocket. He sees a portrait of himself with his wife and two daughters, realizing that he killed a family member. He then bends his knees and covers his face, sobbing quietly. Then, he prays God for the funeral of a Polish-ancestry Austro-Hungarian trooper. If you kill Nikola, Stefan looks down to the lifeless body of Serbian soldier he shot dead. He searches for something worthy and finds a letter that Nikola's father wrote. He reads it and feels distraught for how he killed a soldier that would have a sister of his soon. Then, with tears, he disappears behind the Mountain of Cer. If you kill neither of them, they slowly drop their weapons and realize the nothingnes of war. They have a long conversation and eventually become friends. After that friendship, they promise each other that they'll stay alive and seperate their ways.

In Battle of Tannenberg, you play as Pvt. Edward Adlermann from the Imperial German Army. Due to the poorly trained Imperial Russian soldiers and their commanders' incompetence, he takes out the Russian 2nd Army with 200 soldiers. He feels how pathetic the Imperial Russian Army became and calls the battle "Erntetag".

Then, the siege of Tsingtao begins. Sgt. Eijo Nakamura takes control of a 20-man Japanese squad and orders his men to take out the German positions. He carries Arisaka Type 30 rifle with a scope so that he can give his team covering fire. After two months, the siege ends with Japanese victory.

In Caucasus Campaign, an Ottoman soldier named "Pvt. İbrahimoğlu Yusuf" marches towards the Mountain of Allahuekber with his army. Due to the fact that they have no equipments that could deal with the cold weather, the soldiers, including Yusuf himself, start being exhausted and frozen to near-death. Cpl. Aleksandr Volkov of the Imperial Russian Army, who saw the bad conditions that the Ottomans just got, orders his men to search for the survivors to save them from being frozen death, only to notice that Yusuf is still alive. Aleksandr then takes him to a Russian outpost and warms him up. Despite fighting against the Ottomans, he still has a golden heart which Yusuf finds strange but meaningful. Then, they have a brief conversation. After bidding farewell to each other, Yusuf goes to the west and finds an Ottoman base. He is then relocated to the Gallipoli peninsula because of the naval bombardments.

On 25th April, the ANZACs initiate their invasion at Anzac Cove while the British Army lands on the Cape Helles. At Cape Helles, Pvt. Rourke O'Neil tries his best to avoid being shot dead but due to the beach being painted in blood with corpses, he is ordered to go back to the SS River Clyde. After several hours, he lands the beach without being wounded. Meanwhile, at the events in Anzac Cove, Pvt. Yusuf fights against oncoming ANZAC troops but soon he retreats with the rest of his friends. Then, Lt. Col Mustafa Kemal arrives in time and orders Yusuf and his brothers-in-arms to push the enemies back with his inspiring words: '''I don't order you to fight, but to die! Remember this. Until the moment we die, the commanders and their forces can take our place. ''' And Yusuf's team does so that the ANZACs stand down. Hours before, ANZACs land at the beaches of the same cove and climb up over the cliffs, but due to the narrow sides of the hills, they feel the need to rest. At the moment, after Mustafa Kemal's orders, 57th Regiments comes to hold the ANZAC advance in time and pin them down in the beaches.

Reveal Trailer
(The logos of Nazar Production Company and MAVi appear on screen. Then, they fade out as a text about the Great War is shown.)

"The Great Was was a world-scale conflict that happened over 100 years ago and took 4 years to end. This war was caused by the industrial revolution, arms race, ultranationalism and militaristic profits. Yet, one more reason would be the Europe's last straw..."

Unknown Voice: We never meant to start a war... We knew we never wanted to hurt each other...

(A cinematic scene is shown where Archduke Ferdinand and his wife, Duchess Sophie are being escorted by the car via their chauffeur. Then, the camrea switches to a man, who is revealed to be Gavrilo Princip from Black Hand, as he draws his FN M1910 pistol.)

Unknown Voice: Didn't know it would come to this...

(The screen fades out as two gunshots from his pistol are heard.)

Unknown Voice: We all are doomed to kill each other because of this. Why... why did those two bullets make the world feel like a battlefield?

(Then, the chorus of Jordin Sparks' "Battlefield" plays in background as various footages are shown: The first footage shows the landing of Cape Helles through the British soldier's view. The second footage shows a German MG nest firing on the charging British forces at the battle of Loos. The third footage shows a British tank moving forward to the town of Cambrai with Canadian support troops. The fourth and the last footage shows a survived Russian soldier whose lower face was covered with a blood-stained handkerchief, charging towards the Imperial German soldiers with the rest of his units. As the screen fades out for the last time, and music slowly fades away, "Workers of War" title appears with "Workers" covered in bullet holes and "War" covered in blood.)
