2010年頃に量産されたバリューFPSのうちの1つ。特殊部隊の1人としてゲッペルス・ヒムラー・ゲーリングの3人を暗殺し、ついでに秘密の研究計画を盗みプロトタイプのロケットを破壊して帰る。すべて1人で。最強の男か？
難易度Moderateで結構死にながらも2時間ぐらいでクリア。自然回復ありのゲームなので、普通に進めればそんなに難しいことはない。典型的なスクリプト進行のため、この時代のゲームの文法に慣れていると「ここで敵が湧くな」と分かるポイントしかない。オートセーブ+手動クイックセーブ可。
CTDなどはしないものの、挙動が不安定な部分が多く、こちらの環境では屋内で立った状態で移動すると異常な視点移動を繰り返したり、ドアを蹴破る際に方向が定まらず虚空を蹴ったりすることが多かった。前者は常にしゃがみ移動にすることで解決し、後者はそもそも蹴破るメリットがないので普通に開ければ無視出来る。
わざわざ今から遊ぶ必要のあるゲームでもないし、週末に軽く遊ぶ枠としても流石に色々足りない部分が多すぎる。オススメする理由はない。

It wasn't too bad, better than a few I've played. Thank goodness that City Interactive got better with their graphics. Better than Sniper Art of Victory. That's for sure !!!!!!!
Operation Thunderstorm is a short, shallow but charming and relatively fun corridor-shooter that will leave MUCH to be desired. It's okay, but just okay for a couple hours of mindless entertainment peppering krauts through streets, bunkers and catacombs (which is about how long its going to take you to complete the entire game anyway.) It's got its fair share of jank considering its age, only enhancing the flavor of your off-brand dollar general WW2 FPS experience.
Your roster of weapons is miniscule, but you're only ever going to be using the StG 44 anyway until you run out of ammo for it because 99% of the enemies you encounter will not be carrying the StG 44.
The enemy AI is mediocre, the one-liners are unwelcome, the story is dull, and it could have been so much better, but you get what you pay for after all! It's hardly worth the $5 it demands, get it on sale.
Hat mal wieder Spaß Gemacht !!!!!!!!!!!!

The game is quite almost there, the level design is pretty solid, but overall it's all quite short. The enemy ai is really bad however with most enemies either not quite understanding the player's location in the early games, nor reacting much to gunfire for the first few seconds.
The gunplay as a few others have suggested is rather jank, with the iron sights not quite lining up, the enemy hitboxes being a bit weird when they're huddled behind cover, and other than the pistol or stg44 the guns feel really bad.
Overall it's really short, kind of jank and goofy, and overall not terribly engaging to play even on the harder difficulty. It took me two hours to finish while playing with a small pause in the middle to eat some lunch.
Operation Thunderstorm — это коридорный шутер от первого лица во времена Второй мировой войны, где вам предстоит выполнять опасные миссии за британского агента MI6 и устранять высокопоставленных врагов рейха. Игра представляет собой бюджетный FPS с простой, но иногда занятной механикой стрельбы и прохождением уровней.
🔥 Что стоит знать:
• Настроение и антураж Второй мировой в стиле старых шутеров — много перестрелок, тесные локации и прямолинейный экшен.
• Игра получила популярные отзывы игроков на Steam — около 77 % положительных, часто из‑за своей «олдскульной» атмосферы и доступной цены.
⚠ Минусы:
• Графика и механика ощущаются устаревшими — если вы ждёте современных шутеров, впечатления могут быть средними.
• Сюжет довольно простой и линейный, а элементы стелса не всегда работают гладко.
📊 Итог:
Operation Thunderstorm — это простенький, но атмосферный бюджет‑шутер про войну, который может понравиться любителям олдскула и недорогих игр‑настроения из времён Второй мировой. Хороший вариант для прохождения на пару вечеров, особенно по скидке.
good nazi killing simulator
Неинтересная коротенькая игра. Прошёл её за 2 с небольшим часа. Из плюсов только физика тел противников и более менее нормальная стрельба. Сюжет практически отсутствует и туповатый.
[h1]Ностальгия[/h1]
Очередной польский коридорный шутан! В отличии от многих подобных продуктов конца нулевых и начала десятых, этот мне понравилось пройти снова. Игра мега короткая и не сложная, [u]покупать посоветую олдам, новым игрокам в ней делать нечего![/u]
5/10
Musica: God
jugabilidad: descente, hay algunas partes donde el arma llega a bugearse (tenia una mp40 recargada y solo me dejó disparar 3 balas para luego automaticamente recargar)
Tambien hay aveces en donde el personaje hace de manera automatica el asomarse por una pared, cosa que está cool pero cuando lo hace de manera automatica jode un poco
en termino de dificultad, incluso en modo normal suele ser bastante dificil en algunas escenas.
las armas estan bien, aunque me hubiera gustado que hubiera una gran cantidad de armas almenos en la campaña.
Las armas funcionan bien, pero la pistola inicial que tienes está bastante rota y pose mucha municion, lo mismo con el kar98, bastante rota y bastante facil de usar.
En cuanto el MP40 es buenisima para corta-media distancia, pero de lejos es imposible de controlar, la mira se va muy a la mierda.
la STG40 diria que es buenisima para largas distancias el problema es que la municion es un poco escasa.
en termino de voiceacting, es horrible, suena como si estuviera leyendo un libro en vez de hacer como si estuviera en el juego
poca variedad de enemigos, parece mas copy & paste, hay cambios eso si pero no tan notorios
los mapas estan bien, me gusta mucho la ambientacion y tambien el detalle que el enemigo te puede oir si botas algo mientras caminas
el juego en si no es tan largo, a mi me tomó 71 minutos en pasarmelo, no fue el mejor juego pero fue divertido
por ultimo pero no menos importante la musica, está chida, me da vibras de medal of honor frontlines
Operation Thunderstorm doporučuji s výhradami – jde o zábavnou béčkovou WWII FPS, kde si užijete Mauser, Luger a odletující ragdolly, ale zároveň musíte být připraveni na průměrnou grafiku, podivnou fyziku, slabé samopaly a krátkou délku hry. Pokud hru vezmete s humorem a nebudete očekávat realismus ani hluboký příběh, dokáže pobavit od začátku do konce.
Shrnutí:
✅ Rychlá akce a nostalgická béčková atmosféra
✅ Zbraňový „meta“ Mauser, StG44 a Luger
⚠️ Ragdolly a fyzika jsou absurdní
⚠️ Zbytek zbraní často k ničemu
⚠️ Krátká a lineární, slabší grafika a AI
Honestly, I don't understand why this game have so many positive reviews.
The gunplay sucks, the hitboxes are weird, the enemy ai is lowkey dumb, the game is stupidly easy (I play this on hard), the voice acting is terrible, the cinematics are pointless, and for some reason the player gets stuck on everything especially the train rails in the last level.
There's a couple of good things in here: like the level design and I personally like the game's graphics (even though they aren't anything special), but they get overshadowed by all the bad things. But to be fair I get this on a cheap discount so I guess i can't be that mad.
is ok
Full playtime is 2 hours, engine is FEAR but unoptimized. To quote Duke Nukem: "what a mess"
Bardzo fajna gierka podobna do The Royal Marines Commando i do starego Wolfensteina graficznie i tematycznie. Skończyłam ja po niecałych 6 godzinach. Mogłyby być dodane osiągnięcia, byłoby fajnie. Polecam
at least two reviews liken this to fear and i think they might have brain damage but it was a pretty good 2/5 game, now if you'll excuse me, its time for me to get back to being a single loser
If FEARs Alma is too scary and the battalions of AI soldiers too difficult for you, give Operation Thunderstorm a try. Cut from the same cloth as the aforementioned FEAR, both are using the LithTech Jupiter Ex Engine, which makes for some satisfying shooting excursions. However, that's everything these two titles have in common. OT was born in a time when people were already fed up with WW2 shooters and just before City Interactive started their re-branding, both in name and products, to move away from their somewhat jank-ridden image.
And it shows. Operation Thunderstorm arguably has some of the most funny dialogue I've ever heard in recent years, just because the writing and acting is just comically bad. This might be related to me being a German, able to understand everything the soldiers are talking about but in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter anyways.
If you have 2-3 hours to spare, pick up your rifle and kill three of Nazi Germanys most dangerous man, neatly packaged into some maze-like, interconnected missions you won't even remember if asked for at gunpoint. It's janky, it's cheap but it's also a whole lot of fun. The shooting feels great, which won't surprise anyone who ever played the first two FEAR-games. Just do yourself a favor and get an unofficial uncensored patch (it can be easily found under Guides) to not only unlock historically accurate icongraphy but also blood and gore effects. Without them, the game feels lacking, to put it mildly.
I got my copy on sale for 1$ and it was a dollar perfectly spent.
For a budget WWII FPS, this was a solid game that honestly took me by surprise.
Even for it's year the graphics are pretty dated, even compared to Call of Duty 3 which came out two years prior, but it has heart. Giving an authentic old-school shooter experience similar to that of the early Medal of Honor titles.
Campaign mode is short, clocking in at just around the three hour mark. So if you find yourself with some free time after work, school, or on the weekend, this is a perfect title to get in some gaming without sacrificing too much of your time.
The level designs are also very reminiscent of WWII shooters of yesteryear with it's linear level progression. You will be navigating through small cobblestone towns, underground corridors, sewers, and even a secret weapons lab.
For the $4.99 price tag it's definitely a game worth playing if you enjoy shooters from the late 90's or early 2000's with a semi-authentic story set in that WWII era.
I mean it's a cheap game. Aside from some jank and some technical issues (which is fixed by just changing some settings), I would recommend buying this game. Also it took me a bit more than 2 hours to beat the game.
its just F.E.A.R WW2
Very simple hallway shooter, some funk here and there. I paid 89¢ good simple fun. Works great on Steamdeck
Le jeu se bloque à partir du chapitre 2. Impossible de continuer malgré des essais de changement de résolution. Je ne recommande pas ce jeu, qui est d'autre part peu intéressant, mais ceci n'est qu'un avis personnel.
a cheap coppy of F.E.A.R + Call Of Duty 2
Operation Thunderstorm is a compact World War II shooter that aims to deliver fast-paced missions, straightforward gunplay, and a familiar sense of wartime urgency. Developed and published by City Interactive S.A., the game follows an MI6 operative tasked with eliminating several high-ranking Nazi officials, pushing you through a series of linear missions across occupied Europe. The premise is direct and unembellished—you infiltrate enemy strongholds, fight through German soldiers, and move from one objective to the next with little downtime. Rather than attempting deep storytelling or cinematic grandeur, the game settles into a more traditional early-2000s shooter rhythm, focused on action above all else.
Visually, the game reflects the period and budget of its development. Environments range from European villages and bunkers to fortified castles and industrial complexes, each rendered with modest detail. Lighting effects and shadows add some atmosphere, but the overall presentation feels dated, with stiff animations and sparse environmental interactions. While the Jupiter EX engine has been used to impressive effect elsewhere, Operation Thunderstorm doesn’t fully capitalize on its capabilities. Enemy animations, physics reactions, and general movement often appear rigid or exaggerated, sometimes producing unintentionally humorous moments rather than tension. Still, the visuals convey enough personality to support the game’s brisk pacing, and the soundtrack and sound effects do their job well enough to anchor the experience.
The gameplay is rooted firmly in old-school FPS design. Missions unfold in a linear, corridor-driven structure that pushes you forward through small encounters, scripted ambushes, and occasional light cover-based shooting. The “Covert Fire” system attempts to introduce tactical decision-making by allowing you to take cover behind objects, but it is only partially integrated into the moment-to-moment action. Most fights unfold in close to mid-range skirmishes where reflexes matter more than strategy, and enemy behavior rarely deviates from simple patterns—peek from cover, fire in bursts, or rush directly at the player. The limited AI sophistication becomes noticeable after the first few stages, but the missions move quickly enough that encounters never overstay their welcome.
Weapons feel responsive, if somewhat unvaried. Standard WWII firearms—rifles, submachine guns, pistols, and occasional explosives—fill your arsenal, each with a satisfying punch but similar handling from one weapon to the next. The level design supports fast transitions between shooting galleries, narrow passageways, and small open areas, ensuring the action remains consistent. Although the lack of stealth alternatives, branching paths, or dynamic objectives may disappoint players seeking varied playstyles, Operation Thunderstorm commits fully to being a straightforward shooter, and within that boundary it performs reliably.
Despite its strengths as a simple action title, the game’s limitations become clear as the hours pass. The campaign is short, often lasting only a handful of hours, and once completed there is little incentive to return beyond curiosity or nostalgia. The mission structure rarely deviates from the core loop of moving forward and clearing groups of enemies, and the environments—though different in setting—share similar layouts and encounter designs. Occasional bugs, physics inconsistencies, and enemy placement oddities can disrupt immersion, reminding the player of the game’s modest production scale. While multiplayer modes exist, they are sparse in both features and long-term appeal, functioning more as extra options than substantial additions.
Yet, for players who enjoy budget shooters or have a soft spot for the era of simpler, more direct FPS titles, Operation Thunderstorm has a certain charm. It embraces its limitations with earnestness and delivers an experience reminiscent of earlier PC shooters: quick to complete, uncomplicated, and unpretentious. It does not aspire to compete with genre-defining WWII games, nor does it attempt to innovate in ways it cannot sustain. Instead, it offers a focused, action-first campaign that prioritizes pace over complexity.
In the end, Operation Thunderstorm is best viewed as a short, serviceable wartime shooter that accomplishes exactly what it sets out to do. It may feel dated in mechanics and presentation, but its straightforward design and approachable pacing give it a place among fans of compact, no-frills FPS experiences. It’s a game that asks little from the player beyond a willingness to enjoy uncomplicated firefights and a pulpy secret-agent backdrop—qualities that, while modest, still hold a certain appeal for those seeking a quick burst of WWII action.
Rating: 7/10
[h1]This game is pure cheese: It's a bit smelly, but it tastes pretty awesome.[/h1]
Sometimes you don't need state-of-the-art-presentation, challenging complex gameplay mechanics and a 50 hours long story of epic proportions. Sometimes you just need to mindlessly run through ugly tube levels and shoot some N*zi scum for two hours and then be done with it. That's what Operation Thunderstorm is about. Your goal is to literally just kill Goebbels, Himmler and Göring, blow the place to sh*t and get the hell out. Credits roll.
The game uses the classic Lithtech 2 engine that was used in one of the greatest first person shooters ever made: F.E.A.R. They even stole some of the animations and soundeffects and for that throwback alone you have to like this game. Overall, the presentation is perfectly fine for a budget shooter that's nearly two decades old: As mentioned, the visuals are literally F.E.A.R., the controls, music and sound are decent and only the voice acting is so bad that it's good.
The leveldesign is extremely basic but not too bad and it fits the simplistic run-n-gun gameplay perfectly. On the easiest difficulty you can literally breeze through this thing in 90 minutes so you definitely won't get tired of it anyway. On top this thing runs perfectly on modern systems, so install it, have fun for an hour and deinstall it again, simple as that. The only things i could nag about a bit are that the hit detection seems to be a tiny bit inconsistent now and then and a few more weapons would've been nice.
In the end Operation Thunderstorm is basically a cheap amateurish F.E.A.R. mod set in WWII, only with regenerating health instead of slow-mo. If you like F.E.A.R. and/or all the classic WWII shooters like Wolfenstein or oldschool Medal of Honor and just want to one-shot some N*zi *ssholes with a massively overpowered Luger pistol, then those 5 Euros are a steal for this.

OPERATION THUNDERSTORM
Genre: First-Person-Shooter
Release: Q2 2008
( ) 0/8 Simply one of the worst games ever made. Don't waste any money on this.
( ) 1/8 Bad. Seriously flawed with barely any redeeming qualities. Worth a couple of Cents at best, if at all.
( ) 2/8 Sub-par. Only for hardcore-fans of respective genre / series. Don't pay more than 5 bucks.
( ) 3/8 Meh-diocre. It‘s okay. Don't pay more than 10 bucks.
(X) 4/8 Decent, but not for everybody. Don't pay more than 15 bucks.
( ) 5/8 Good game, Must-play for genre- / series-fans. Worth 20 to 25 bucks max, if you are not a fan.
( ) 6/8 Great game, universal recommendation. 30 bucks would be a steal for this.
( ) 7/8 Outstanding game, a milestone of it‘s respective genre. Definitely worth its full prize.
( ) 8/8 Simply one of the best games ever made. Get this, the prize doesn't matter.
if u want to play this game for the nostalgia go for it, its probably gonna make u remember the good old times.
but if u just seen this game and thinking about buying it then i would not recommend it, heres why:
-gun play sucks, theres only like 6 guns
-u have to lock ur fps or its unplayable
-really short (finished the whole game in 100mins)
-really easy every enemy dies in 1-2 shots (atleast on normal difficulty)
-u can easily see outside the map without even doing anything unintended
-bland story
-even tho the game recommends stealth theres literally no need for stealth
+nostalgia
+physics on most props (even tho u can get stuck on them time to time its a fun feature)
+really good main menu music
+can run on a potato pc
Dvě hodinky si skvěle zastřílíte. Spousta bugů.

Zamanına göre olmasına rağmen hala gideri var oyunun
The story is weak, but the gameplay slaps. It’s fun, a little janky on modern systems, and that roughness gives it a certain charm. Surprisingly, this is the 4th game in the series (known in Poland as Mortyr 4: Operation Thunderstorm), which introduced me to earlier titles I never knew about.
It’s short, around 3 hours, but worth it if you’ve got a bit of spare time and cash.
This one will not be fair, because overall this game is not good. But nostalgia play its part here.
This is one of City Interactives rushed business model games (made in 3 months), where they use recyclated assets, maps and everything, with very limited content. It runs on JupiterEx Engine, which is used by early F.E.A.R. games. It's much better, than Chrome Engine 3, which CI used for previous game called Mortyr 3, which is "prequel". In fact, true name of this game is Mortyr 4: Operation Thunderstorm. Storyline is weak and narrow. You are agent tossed in Germany, where you need to assassinate Goebbels, Himmler and Göring. Number of weapons is very limited (Kar98, Kar98 scoped, MP32, Sten, MP44, Luger, panzerfaust, knife). Game contains 9 levels, 3 levels for each of vilain.
Game takes like 1 to 1.5 hour to finish (even on hardest difficulty), that means like 6 to 10 minutes for level. It's corridor style, so you just run and shoot, collect ammo, sometimes press some button in order to advance. It's quick and mostly predictible. Only bugs here are graphical and physical glitches, which does not stop you from finishing game.
If you remember old CI games or era of PC stall sales, where you could find games on CD/DVD in your local newspaper stand and loved that trash games you could buy there, this game is for you. Otherwise I don't recommend it.
joguinho muito daora, pena que acaba rápido, ele foi feito na mesma engine do FEAR, pena que o level design não faz tão proveito da IA da engine, mesmo assim, recomendo pakas o jogo.
Para um jogo lançado em 2008, há muitos outras anteriores a esse que fazem muito mais com muito menos recurso de desenvolvimento que tinham. Tá certo que não é um jogo pretensioso e tem uma campanha bem curtinha, compatível com uma DLC mequetrefe de algum jogo como serviço e capado. Longe de ser um dos piores games que do gênero, mas seria demais recomendá-lo. Se você gosta do enredo histórico de guerra, talvez valha a pena.
Nota 4.8/10

[h1]Intro[/h1]
To use modern analogies, this game is basically if you told an AI to generate a clone of Call of Duty 2. It has all of the imagery of a World War 2 shooter, but none of the soul to make it unique. But it's inoffensive and doesn't overstay its welcome, so there's that.
[h1]Positives[/h1]
+ Good weapon variety.
[h1]Negatives[/h1]
- No blood effects.
- No memorable scripted sequences.
- No teammates to make the battles feel alive.
- Most if not all the levels involve walking down a narrow linear path with zero deviation.
Netter kleiner Old-School-Ego-Shooter im 2. Weltkriegs-Szenario.
Hat mich an die guten, alten Zeiten mit Medal of Honor oder den ersten Call of Dutys erinnert, wo es nicht nur um PVP ging, sondern einfach nur um das Erzählen einer Geschichte.
Das Ganze wird gespickt mit ein paar kleinen Rätseln. Der ein oder andere Bug findet sich auch ist aber nicht störend ( so wie damals halt ^^ ).
Für Nostalgiker und jene die wissen wollen wie "Zocken" vor dem Internet war auf jeden Fall ein Muss.
对着敌人的头脑子狠狠用98K干！快活！！
Clássico de segunda guerra
Dura 90 minutos y es de CI Games, entras a sabiendas de que es un shooter de bajo presupuesto con el motor del FEAR.
No hay mucho que decir, se ve bien para lo que es y el gunplay es lo más destacable.
Crashea seguramente al iniciarlo, pero te vas al Config en la carpeta y lo lanzas desde ahí(y activas vsync), con eso funciona. Por el euro que cuesta está bien.
Operation Thunderstorm was an alternate universe WW2 First-person shooter from back in 2011 from City Interactive, a Polish Developer. And the cover art is somewhat misleading... You don't play a Royal Marine Commando. Instead, you are playing a MI6 assassin... Chosen for the most dangerous assignment of all in WW2... Kill Joseph Goebbels, Heinrich Himmler, and Hermann Goering, the top 3 officials of the Third Reich except Hitler himself. You will fight through the French township of Vervins, the Bavarian castle full of guards, and Hermann Goering's secret facility in Poland...
Based on the Lithtech Jupiter EX engine, the game was... slightly behind the times, but it was able to lift the "cover shooting" system from its predecessor from 3 years ago, the Royal Marines Commando. However, the resolution did not get any updates... It still uses non 16:9 aspect ration... 1440 x 1080 is the maximum it can do. You could set it to 1920 x 1080, but it will be horizontally stretched. Graphics are quite decent, but there really isn't too much variation on the object types... and items have the overlap physics problem, so almost all items, as the level initialized, actually "fall" and stack together, with a little gap between them, very noticeable when you are crouched. Else, items that "overlap" will start jittering, the flung themselves 15-20 ft high and land randomly. Though that's actually quite rare. Bodies follow SOME inverse kinematics ragdoll when you kill the enemies. I wouldn't say they have very advanced AI... They will try to rush you, but generally they stay at range and try to shoot you from where they are, with a bit of side-to-side or back-and-forth, depending on the level.
There really isn't anything special about the levels... They are basically single-path rat-runs, but there are occasional alternate paths. No hidden secondary objectives, no secret items to collect. This is basically a budget title.
Sound is decent, pretty typical gun sounds, racking of the slides, reloading of magazines and rounds... Nothing really special about them, except the racking slide sounds are a bit too loud, IMHO.
All in all, unless you really need the nostalgia, and like the subject matter, there is really no reason to buy this game. There are much better FPS about WW2 available now.
The plot is a bit tighter this time: your background was never discussed, but you are a MI6 "operator" sent into France, Germany, and Poland for the toughest missions... Assassinate three of the upper echelon of the Third Reich. There are no AI buddies, and minimal cutscenes... Just text briefings with narrations. The cutscenes are reserved for the more... dramatic moments.
While in play, the game plays like a typical "modern" FPS... run over something to pick it up (or take its ammo), you can keep only 4 weapons and their ammo. If you got hit, get into cover and rest a while. As long as you don't take additional damage or move, your health will recover. In fact, there is not even a health bar for yourself... Just flashing "red" when you are wounded... the more red, the closer you are to death. As red fade away, you recover.
While there are a lot of enemies, the movement is a bit janky on modern PCs, so your aim doesn't feel smooth or precise, and enemy patterns are fixed: they do move back and forth a bit, but that's about it.
It does have a multiplayer server unlike its predecessor. But the result is still kinda lame. If you want a retro shooter, there are better choices out there. This may be worth it if you can find this for a few dollars.
I love Operation Thunderstorm.
This game did something that almost no other game does. It kept me playing for an entire day.
No alt-tabbing. No checking my phone. Just me, glued to the screen. And I actually beat it. Which is saying something, because I own thousands of games and rarely finish any of them. But this one? I couldn’t stop.
Not because it’s polished. Not because it’s some hidden masterpiece. But because it’s the most bizarrely satisfying budget WWII shooter I’ve ever played.
And I mean budget. This game came out in 2008, right when WWII shooters were collapsing under their own weight. Everyone assumed it was just another Call of Duty clone. But Operation Thunderstorm isn’t that.
What it actually is… is Polish Wolfenstein.
Made by City Interactive—now CI Games—a company that was known, back then, for shoveling out low-cost shooters by the dozen. In fact, this game was released during a very specific and weird moment in their history.
In 2007, City Interactive went public on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. And in 2008—the same year this game came out—they announced they were done with “budget-range operations.” They were rebranding. Shifting away from quantity toward quality. Operation Thunderstorm was the last gasp of their old model.
So what you’re playing here isn’t just a weird shooter. It’s a fossil. A transitional relic. The final entry in a dying era before City Interactive pivoted to big-boy games like Sniper: Ghost Warrior and Lords of the Fallen.
And you can feel it.
The game was developed with a team of 111 people. It used LithTech Jupiter EX—the same engine as F.E.A.R. Which is hilariously overpowered for what they made. But it gives the whole thing a crunchy, snappy, almost haunted-house quality that’s impossible to fake.
You play as British MI6 agent Jan Mortyr—practically the Polish B.J. Blazcowicz. He stars in quite a few FPS games—he was an established brand in Poland. Over there, this was Mortyr 4: Operation Thunderstorm.
But since nobody outside Poland had any clue what Mortyr was, we just got stuck with the most generic name in video game history. Operation Thunderstorm.
Which has a similar name to a Capcom arcade shmup, a Wii helicopter shooter, several real-world military operations, and at least one anti-logging initiative. Good luck Googling it.
Anyway, let’s talk about the actual game.
You’re sent behind enemy lines in 1942 to assassinate Goebbels, Göring, and Himmler. Yes, really, that’s the plot.
You just straight-up kill Nazi high command. No moral gray area. No pretense of realism. No problem. Never mind that these people died years later in real life. Operation Thunderstorm doesn’t care. It’s historical fan fiction. And it’s amazing.
Unless you’re playing the German version, where all the names are removed, the swastikas are replaced with “evil symbols,” and the blood is turned off permanently. The German version literally censors its own premise. It becomes a weird mission about killing… unnamed bureaucrats. It’s surreal.
But the actual gameplay? Surprisingly fun.
It’s a corridor shooter. Pure and simple. You walk forward. You shoot Nazis. You move to the next room. You peek around corners. You lean left and right. It’s Wolfenstein with some extra jank. But there’s one mechanic that makes it stand out: blind fire.
You crouch behind cover, and instead of popping up, you can raise your arm just high enough to fire over a box—guided by a little arrow icon. It’s crude. It’s clunky. But it works. And it gives the game a weird, accidental layer of tactics.
Then there’s the Karabiner 98k.
This rifle is absurd. You can shoot a guy in the leg and he dies instantly. Arm shots? Instant ragdoll. It’s one of the most overpowered rifles I’ve ever used in a game. And I love it. Because the ragdoll physics are completely unhinged.
Shoot a Nazi and watch him cartwheel off a balcony. Toss a grenade and send three enemies bouncing like crash test dummies. The game is full of “odd death positions” and physics bugs so wild they start to feel intentional.
And that’s the point. The game’s flaws are what make it good.
You get a broken knife that does nothing. You get a dumb mini-map that’s never needed. You get canned voice lines delivered with the emotional range of a voicemail. And yet—somehow—all of it clicks.
I mean, this game has a “see your own foot” feature. You look down, and there’s your left leg. Why? No reason. It’s just there. One foot. Floating. Always watching.
The campaign’s short. Maybe four hours if you take your time. Maybe two and a half if you sprint through.
And yet, I played it twice. Once on Steam Deck. Once on my TV with a Steam Controller. And shockingly? It’s incredible with a controller.
The gyro aiming on Deck is perfect. You line up shots from across the room and drop enemies before they even react. It was never designed for this kind of control scheme, but it accidentally became one of the best Steam Deck shooters I’ve played.
There’s multiplayer, technically. Deathmatch, team deathmatch, capture the flag. All recycled single-player maps. No one plays it. No one should. It’s clearly a checkbox feature—something slapped on to tick off “multiplayer” on the back of the box.
Now, at launch? Critics hated this game. We’re talking 40–50% scores. Called it cramped. Monotonous. Ugly. Said it looked like a shooter from the ‘90s. Said the AI was dumb. Said the levels were boring.
But the critics were definitely wrong.
Because by 2025, Operation Thunderstorm has clawed its way back. It now holds a “Mostly Positive” rating on Steam. Over 300 reviews. 77% positive. It’s become a cult hit.
People buy it for a dollar during sales and walk away surprised. Not because it’s refined—but because it’s fun.
And not in the way the developers intended.
It’s fun because it’s broken. Because the physics are hilarious. Because the design is dumb in just the right way.
This isn’t “so bad it’s good.” It’s “so weird it’s great.”
A weird little game from a weird little moment in Eastern European game development history. A snapshot of a studio about to evolve. A broken, budget shooter that overshot its limits and became something memorable by accident.
Not many games can say that.
So yeah, I love Operation Thunderstorm. Not despite the mess. Because of it.
Старенькая игрушка, наткнулся на неё совершенно случайно и решил попробовать, игра хорошо, короткая. Если играть без перерывов можно и пройти за 1 час. Чем-то напоминает старые части "Call of duty"

[b]Operation sh!tstorm![/b]
War themed FPS where you kill nazis. No reason to play stealthly - AI is bad enough to catch enemies easily by leaning half ass behind the cover. Levels are very narrow almost claustrophobic like and with no FOV to adjust it's a disaster. Environment destruction is marginal, most of the stuff doesn't break. Can't tell why but game have no gore so it's playable by kids pretty much. In one place everything explodes after shooting some guy, can't tell why. While playing main character drop some lame text occasionally making whole experience even worse. Music is nonexistant mostly. Visually looks like average game from 2011, particle effects are not that bad though. Sounds are ok probably not mentioning the weapons. Lame game - better avoid.
[/h1]
too much bug and stucking
Old Big Classic game.
Overall nice game.
una poronga el juego, me congela toda la computadora. esta mal hecho
Surprisingly great and polished for a CityInteractive game. Way better than their previous games.
Rather potato quality but if you want some old-school WW2 stealthy action get it for like 1 dollar/euro.

Jogo de guerra muito bom , da pra finalizar ele em umas 2 horas , mais a história é muito boa

compra que é bom demais
Nota 9/10
[h1] Genre [/h1] Ein First Person Shooter
[h1] Story [/h1] Wir spielen einen Britischen Soldaten und sollen 3 Deutsche Offizieren ausschalten um die Deutsche Streitmacht zu schwächen. Niemand geht davon aus das wir das schaffen werden, weil es scheinbar unmöglich zu sein scheint. Aber wir geben natürlich nicht so einfach auf und kämpfen uns im Alleingang durch die Deutsche Armee
[h1] Gameplay [/h1] Das Spiel ist ein sehr gradliniger Shooter mit Schlauchartigen Levels, so wie man es von damals her kannte. Es gibt insgesamt 9 recht kurze Level und in diesen ballern wir uns durch Soldaten und machen ein paar Nebenaufgaben die uns gestellt werden wie z.B. Dokumente sichern, etwas zerstören usw. Die Level an sich machen allesamt recht viel Spaß und das Gunplay fand ich ordentlich. Gegner KI ist jetzt nicht die Beste aber auch nicht die schlechteste. Wie gesagt sind die Level sehr gradlinig und es gibt außerhalb des Zielweges nicht viel zu entdecken. Hier und da mal ein bisschen Munition, Granaten oder eine Neue Waffe aber das wars dann auch schon. Nach gut 2,5-3 Stunden hat man das Spiel dann auch schon durchgespielt
[h1] Pro/Contra [/h1]
+ Günstig (Im Sale sogar oft für lediglich 0,99€ zu bekommen)
+ Story ist OK
+ Gunplay ist ordentlich
+ Die einzelnen Level machen Spaß
+/- Leider keine Achievements
[h1] Fazit [/h1] Wer mal wieder Lust hat auf ein gradlinigen, simplen & kurzen First Person Shooter mit Weltkriegs Setting, welches man in knappen 3 Stunden durchspielen kann, der/die ist mit Operation Thunderstorm sehr gut bedient. Es ist nichts besonderes aber auch nicht schlecht. Ich hatte in der kurzen Spielzeit, die es bietet sehr viel Unterhaltung. Besonders wenn man es im Sale für gerade mal schlappe 0,99€ abgreifen kann, hat man für sein Geld viel Spielspaß. Ich kann es definitiv Empfehlen

2. Dünya Savaşı temalı fps, nişancılık oyunu.
İkinci Dünya savaşı dönemindeki İngiliz istihbarat teşkilatından bir askeri canlandırdığınız oyunda size verilmiş çeşitli görevleri gerçekleştiriyorsunuz. Elbette genel olarak vur geç bir oyun. Sürekli olarak lineer bir ilerleme olan oyunda dönemin silahlarını kullanıyorsunuz. Küçük mantık hataları olsa da etraf işlemeleri ve kaplamaları klasik bir tarza göre hoş yapılmış.
Işıklandırmalarını beğendim. oyunun görselliğinde en baskın olduğunu düşündüğüm tarafı burası.
Oynanışı böyle bir nişancılık oyunu için oldukça yeterli.
Vuruş hissi var. Bundan çok sonra çıkmasına rağmen çok çok kötülerine tanık oldum.
İndirim zamanlarında oldukça ucuza edinebilirsiniz. Size çerezlik ve birkaç saatlik fps nişancı doyumu sağlayacaktır. Beklentinizi yüksek tutmayın. Öneriyorum.
This is basically a dollar store version of call of duty 2 released 6 years too late. the game itself is okay i guess, but its bottom of the barrel when it comes to gunplay, hitboxes, level design, voice acting and immersion. There is a few cool things here like leaning and blind fire behind cover but you will almost never use it. As this is a breeze to play as the enemy ai is very easy even on the hardest difficulty. Yes the game is so short you can complete it in a hour an a half. Do you get your money's worth when it goes on sale for 99 cents? yeah i would say so, but i highly suggest to play any other ww2 fps game, as anything else is a lot more fun, this might possibly be the most boring fps ever made. In fact the same developer already made a ww2 game miles better than this, its called Enemy Front. Don't waste your time you are not missing out on anything by skipping this one
Absolutely Fantastic game it was a blast to play and I recommend it to anyone who loves shooting nazis for a past time
plaisant
es una garcha, ESTA MUY BUENO
goofy ass physics make this game amazing
Mediocre all around clone of older Call of Duty/Medal of Honor games coming in package with dead multiplayer and two and a half hours long campaign. I would not recommend it if it was just that, but the fact that it's made on the same engine as F.E.A.R. actually makes combat somewhat hilarious: with ragdolls flying everywhere and guns feeling pretty good.
It also goes on sale for a dollar. Which is arguably the best thing about this game.
For 99 cents you could do a lot worse
Самая уебанская регистрация попаданий из всех, что я видел. Каловая масса, а не шутан. Обходите стороной. Из плюсов, это дерьмо быстро проходится даже на максимальной сложности и терпеть ужасную стрельбу долго не придется. За 20грн конечно поиграть можно, но за фулл прайс скипайте эту парашу.
Slow, boring, heavily scripted game. The enemies have basically no AI; it feels weird shooting down enemies and not having your gunfire alert other enemies to your location; they all just stay at their designated locations & patiently wait until its their turn to get killed. The iron sights are on a toggle, & there's no option to change it to a hold. Doors that you've opened close on their own after a while for some reason, which is just weird, & makes it harder to tell where you've already been. The game gives you the ability to kick down some doors but not others; some can only be opened by hand, & some can't be opened at all, & it's pretty obvious that the reason they can't be kicked open is 'because we didn't put anything in that room'. In which case why even put a door there?
A fantastic but short game with good weapons feelings. 8.5/10
Игра очень похожа на Call of Duty
Short and fun, what I would call a "AA" or B-grade game.
You can get stuck in doors and on objects, and there's not a very good sense of progression.
Overall, it's fun shooting NAZIs in the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ face.
Sorry to say, but despite paying 99 cents for this game I still don’t feel I got my money’s worth. Operation Thunderstorm is build upon Jupiter EX (the same engine used in FEAR 1) and that really is the only thing it has going for it. Movement feels good, weapons handle and sound weighty and there’s lots of soft shadows and particle effects.
Everything else is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ poor. The campaign is incredibly short, the story is silly and character development non-existent. Level design is a lazy mess and there’s practically no attempt at worldbuilding or anything remotely interesting at all. Instead we get the same ten props and propaganda posters in every room.
Doesn’t even work well on a technical level. Somehow, the AI manages to be both blind and braindead despite using Jupiter EX… what happened? And while the addition of blind fire sounded like a good idea on paper, its implementation felt amateurish. What is supposed to happen: you stand at the edge of a wall or comparable obstacle (the trigger zone is about five pixels wide or so) and automatically fire around the corner without exposing yourself. What actually happens: it constantly gets in the way when I instead want to lean and shoot accurately, especially when I have to sprint from one piece of cover to another and fend off the attackers. What’s worse: the blind fire animation resp. the transition into it is unrefined and janky as heck. Furthermore, my player character got stuck on or had trouble moving around level geometry and trash laying on the ground way too often.
I also experienced a game-breaking bug in Himmler’s castle. Someone kept shooting me through the floor in one of the hallways no matter where I went, and I couldn’t just run past either since I had to search every room for a key chain. God mode from FEAR 1 to the rescue...
There’s decent shovelware. They may even be interesting shovelware out there. But Operation Thunderstorm isn’t one of those. If you’re desperate for sweet Jupiter EX action, better replay FEAR 1 or one of its expansion packs instead. The bundle also frequently sells for 99 cents.
Este sida me dio juego.
CI早期换皮游戏之一，可以玩两个小时通关
(Played after fixing it to run on Windows 11 and a uncensored patch)
A extremely short experience, that's worth it's sale price.
Operation Thunderstorm is a WWII FPS game developed by City Interactive. Running off of Monolith's Jupiter engine AKA Lithtech, it's a fairly short campaign where you hunt after high ranking members of THOSE guys in WWII. While it's circumstances would lead it to being fairly generic and forgettable. The fact it uses that Jupiter engine and uses it fairly well for what it is, makes it a bit more notable than the other bargain bin-like games these developers are known for.
Gameplay of Operation Thunderstorm seems to be rooted in both quirks of the Jupiter engine, and what you'd expect from Military Shooter from the time. You move at a realistic? pace, have regenerating health, and can also can lean left or right. This setup works best in the more hallway/interior areas of the campaign, which the game foolishly doesn't start you off with. This is because being able to break line of sight and using that leaning to your advantage, works well with the slower than average movement and obviously the regen health. You're also limited to a weapon loadout but are generously given 4 weapon slots to swap with a decent selection of WWII era weaponry. As well as grenades bound to their own button and a mounted machine gun that's has really rough mouse sensitivity. Enemy variety is pretty barebones with mostly the same enemy soldier of THOSE guys with different firearms. But they mostly just boil to, hitscanners, but not intelligent. Level design is also fairly simple, as it follows the Half Life style of design with linear levels dressed up as real-ish place, with the occasional setpiece. The levels do lack a lot of the exploration factor that style of level design has because there is a almost a entire absence of secrets. And where there are ones they're usually just more grenades, very rarely being a weapon. But as a whole, the combat is decent enough to keep the attention throughout the short campaign thanks to the simple but satisfying combat, even if it's there's a ton of room for improvement.
Style wise, Operation Thunderstorm absolutely showcases the lighting of the Jupiter engine in full force. As well as in a setting that Monolith themselves never touched as far as I know. There's plenty of places in the game where the level designers clearly put thought in how the lighting from both the combat and the environment would spruce up the levels and it pays off really well. Such as spooky catacombs or stain-glassed filled cathedrals Combine that with a lot of physics props, it hints at the kind of visual spectacle that games like FEAR absolutely soars with. While the graphics themselves are pretty lackluster considering the competition at the time, there's a kind of charm with those older game engines that weren't exactly low-poly but neither hyper realistic.
Overall, Operation Thunderstorm was a fun little experience for a sale price 1$, which is what you probably what you should pay for as the game has about 2 hours of gameplay with very little replay value. Honestly, if I were to be able to rework this the game at will, I'd make it like a longer, RTCW-like game with faster movement and punchier combat, but with the lighting and physics of the Jupiter engine. But as it ends, this game is still a bargain game, probably made with the hopes that parents would confuse it with the new Call of Duty games at the time. But at least there is some passion put behind it, that with the solid gameplay, is probably why this one is still well remembered.
Just hopefully trying to get it to run on newer computer won't continue to be a more inconvenient issue
A mixture of F.E.A.R., Wolfenstein, and some little Cod… short but great game. Give it a try once it's on sale.
WW2 x F.E.A.R
A solid hidden gem, I have seen it as cheap as $2 on sale such a steal.
Коридорный шутер 2 мировой. Фулл скипабельно
Worth playing to hear the VA for Goering
lithtech engine
A WW2 shooter on the F.E.A.R. Engine (and by FEAR Engine I mean it's mechanically identical, just with WW2 stuff).
A little bit janky at times and weapon and enemy variety is low but for $5 (or $1 on sale) it's worth the short 2 hour long playthrough.
Life-threatningly janky LithTech shooter. Pretty straightforward couple hours of gameplay.
Short fun WW2 shooter, worth the dollar.
jankie and sewer.
6 out of Civvie 11
Польская пустышка. Наглядный пример того, что какой бы крутой движок у тебя не был, он тебе не поможет сделать достойную игру. 4/10
Best 1€ and hour I've spent in a while.
This game goes on sale for $0.99. It's 2 hours of nazi killing fun as you hunt down Gerbils, Heimlich, and Voring.
It's from 2008 so it plays like a mediocre CoD or MoH clone but all it took to get running was running the setup file, setting the right resolution and turning v-sync on.
It's fun and absolutely worth $1.
oyun gibi oyun. tam bir oyun. gerçek oyun.

Classic WW2 fps. Very short but fun
This game is from 2011, according to Steam, but it feels like it should have come out in 2001. Operation Thunderstorm is a horribly janky WW2 shooter that seems like a one-man developed game. It's supposedly very short; I was determined to beat it, but I had to give up after the second mission. The shooting and destructible environments feel surprisingly good, but everything else is awful: movement, locations, weapon variety, enemies, story, and voice acting are bottom of the barrel. It wasn't even worth $.99.
A short, but alright experience. Don't go into it expecting the most amazing experience. I will say, it's worth the dollar I spent for it.
A short and fun game, that remind the first Call of Duty and Medal of Honor games. The story is weak, but the oldschool gameplay is still enjoyable. I'd still advise you to pick it up when it's on the $1 discount, as it's still a very short game.
Short but sweet. A nice 6/10. The only enemies are nazis with 2 guns and a nad thrower. A bit of jank and Multiplayer servers are dead. What is there with the F.E.A.R 1 engine, atmospheric music, and that early 2000's FPS feel is so nice though. Pick this up on a sale and just enjoy the 2 hour single player story for the experience.
A nice experience, reminds me of a dream that I had.
While it wasn't all that good, I must say that the shooting is pretty good, the best engines for shooting games in my opinion are always the F.E.A.R engine and Source, seeing a singleplayer game on the F.E.A.R engine set in WW2 was already enough reason for me to try this game.
The shooting is good, the ragdolls are amazing, the story and level design are average, this feels like either a passion project or one of those old shovelware movie games that are kinda fun although mediocre. I would only recommend this game for people that want a similar experience to Wolfenstein 2005 (my second favorite Wolfenstein) or are just fans of WW2 games in general. As I saw reviews, I was wondering how many people seen to talk about how short it is, I played it twice on the medium and highest difficulty and I must say, that if this game was longer it would get boring and repetitive pretty fast, the game's lenght is already as good as it is.
One thing that I've hated is the lack of gore and blood, like, I've felt like I was living in Germany or Australia for a second, and that got me pretty good in the gameplay aswell, since sometimes I couldn't tell if I shot an enemy or if my aim just sucked or if the gun I was using just sucked. The guns are all pretty punch due to the F.E.A.R engine and you feel the weight of your shot, but you don't feel the damage of it, honestly it sucked.
It is not as good as Brothers in Arms, not as good as F.E.A.R itself or Wolfenstein 2005, and doesn't come even closer to Hidden and Dangerous 2, COD 2 or COD World at War. But it is an average little game worth it's price.
This is a pretty generic WW2 shooter. Guns feel fine, sound design is fine, it’s got a somewhat unique look which I simultaneously love and hate, and it runs without any major issues as long as you configure the display settings from the config exe rather than the in-game menu. There’s a bit of jank here and there, and there are only nine short missions, but the game often goes on sale for a dollar, so just wait and get it then.
Truly one of the greatest stories ever told.
Incredible, memorable villains that will keep you on the edge of your seat for all 2 hours of this can't miss campaign. Missions are so inspiring and unique it almost brought a tear to my eye. And the voice acting, man the voice acting,.. it doesn't get much better than this, an all-star cast to say the least.
Really the only question left to ask is: "How did they pull this off?"
Tiembla Call of Duty
It's an alright game still better than the past COD releases...
one hell of a short game, but it's if Wolfenstein & F.E.A.R had a cute little baby that you can appreciate and complete in 2 hours.
It's really fun, and it's literally also on the same engine FEAR 1 uses.
Finished it under 4 hours, Satisfying firefights, straight to the point maps, no rewarding exploration whatsoever... It was fun.
Old School fun.
You know?
Pew pew fun.
6/10
Visual is mediocre considering the year it was released
Control is ok, but little sloppy
VERY short
WIll go for fans of WWII shooters
Zarąbista gra dzieciństwa, prawdziwa nazwa to Mortyr 4 Szkoda że innych części nie ma na steam
An old and cheaply made FPS from over a decade ago. Story is weak, main character is pretty lame, not a lot of weapon variety, however they're using the game engine from the original FEAR so in spite of the jank the gunplay is pretty compelling. Combine that with the fact that I got the game on sale for a dollar makes this just barely a positive recommendation for me.
This game is one of the cases where I wish Steam had a middle ground between positive and negative reviews.
Pros:
-The mechanics, weapons do have recoil
-Your accuracy is knocked back as you are getting hit
-Some interesting details
-The enemy AI is also pretty good for those times' standard
-The ragdoll system and the interactions between AI and environment, enemies knocking down tables or cardboard boxes to take cover behind
Cons:
-Short and dull moments of voice acting
-The points where most of the MG42's are placed leave you extremely vulnerable, according to how the game mechanics work, because you're not as resilient either, so if your enemies have multiple angles of shooting at you and cannot turn the MG in time, makes using it pretty useless
-The scaling of some objects feels weird, tanks feel too small, Trucks have an interestingly cramped depot, with the gates being made for them to barely pass through
-Too short, and the only "story" behind it, is you having to kill 3 of the big names at the 3rd Reich's power circle
All in all, barely a passing grade, 5/10, but understandable being an Indie game, with not so much budget and work put into it, but by gameplay itself, there are some interesting ideas behind it, too bad they did not get consolidated more
