What is the story behind Six Days in Fallujah?

Developed by Highwire Games and published by Victura, the tactical shooter offers players a close look at what it's like to be a part of a war.

Six Days in Fallujah's initial concept was proposed by Sgt. Garcia, who was heavily wounded during the battle in Fallujah in 2004. Almost more than 100 marines and civilians were found dead after the war came to an end. The game embraces those stories and takes you on a journey to understand the combat experience of marines on unknown soil. Garcia explains:

"Everyone has an opinion about war, but very few people have fought in one and truly understand the experience. Six Days in Fallujah will provide a window into what it feels like, the enormous responsibility every young Marine experiences as they enter combat, and the visceral terror and human cost of combat."

The game offers a new tactical experience whenever you hop on to the server. There are several exciting features, like block-scale AI or dynamic weather and lighting, that you will be able to explore as well.
