About > RESISTANCE

Overview

Resistance bonus campaign (unlocked by finishing all single missions or half of the main campaign) forms a prequel to the original game’s plot and is set several years before the events of the main campaign in 1985. Resistance casts the player as Victor Troska, ex-Special Forces soldier, living a peaceful civilian life on the island of Nogova, a devastated former socialist outpost of the Soviet Union. Turned fledgling democracy there makes a life for its citizens based on the export of raw materials and tourism but the fascination of a new-found freedom is slowly dimming, corruption proliferates, criminality festers and some people start calling for the good old days. Nogova is located a short distance from the Malden Islands, and its gorgeous natural beauty spots are juxtaposed with built-up areas which still haven’t recovered from years of socialist ideology and life-style. However, the situation changes when a Soviet force invades the island group and destroys Troska's idyllic dreams. Reluctant at first to return to his warlike ways, he is forced to participate in, and then lead, the ramshackle Resistance effort, which grows up in response to the Soviet occupation of the island. Players have to scavenge equipment from whatever sources they can manage, which provides for a different play experience and hope for some assistance from the US forces.

Throughout the 18 closely linked missions, the overriding objectives include adding to your resistance force by gaining new recruits, gathering and stockpiling equipment as well as preserving as many of your comrades as possible to build an army strong enough to repel the Soviets.
