Retro Replay Review

Gameplay

The immediate pull here is choice. Instead of committing to one title, you can begin with Faces of War or move directly toward either of the two V tylu vraga 2 entries, Bratya po oruzhiyu and Lis pustyni. That makes the collection feel more useful as a starting point for the line than as one tightly authored game experience.

Its weakness is equally plain: a compilation cannot create momentum on its own. You need to be interested in spending time with multiple included games, not merely curious about the package name. If one title is the sole reason you are considering it, the extra entries may turn into shelf weight rather than a meaningful bonus.

Still, there is real convenience in having three related releases grouped together. You can sample the set and decide which entry deserves your attention without treating the collection as a single campaign with one pace or one payoff. Go in expecting a small library, and the format makes more sense.

Graphics

The collection brings together three separately titled games rather than presenting one unified set of screens or artwork. Expect each included title to stand on its own visually, instead of looking for a single consistent look across the whole package.

Story

There is no single story running through this compilation. Its narrative draw comes from the fact that it collects Faces of War alongside two titles carrying the V tylu vraga 2 name.

That distinction matters when you choose what to play first. Treat each title as its own destination, rather than waiting for the collection itself to build toward one combined narrative conclusion.

For a gamer who enjoys moving between related releases, that structure can be satisfying: finishing or setting aside one entry does not end the package. For anyone hoping for one continuous tale, the compilation format is a much less focused proposition.

Overall Experience

Za rodinu! Vsya seriya «V tylu vraga 2» earns its place as a practical three-game bundle. It has a clearer purpose for someone curious about the broader line than for someone hunting for one definitive, self-contained game.

The payoff is variety and selection, not cohesion. You are getting Faces of War, Bratya po oruzhiyu, and Lis pustyni under one banner, which is worthwhile when at least two of those names genuinely appeal to you.

I would recommend it cautiously as a series sampler. Buy it for the chance to spend time across all three entries; pass if your interest begins and ends with a single game, because this collection’s main strength is the breadth of its contents.
