What Is Sniper Elite: Resistance?

Sniper Elite: Resistance is a first-person shooter set in the European theater during WWII. You play as Harry Hawker, an agent of the Special Operations Executive, who’s sent into occupied France to fight alongside the French Resistance to stop the Nazis from using a super-weapon that would help them win the war.

Like previous installments, stealth and sniping from afar are key to your success. When you score a kill, you’ll still be treated to a slow-mo X-ray shot of the bullet wreaking havoc on the internal organs of your enemies.

New to the series this time around are Propaganda Missions, which give you a limited amount of time to sneak in and complete tasks. And returning from previous installments is Axis Invasion mode, which lets you invade another player’s campaign as an enemy to take them down. Fun stuff.
