Red Orchestra 2 Rising Storm is a World War II-themed tactical first-person shooter video game developed by Tripwire. It is a stand-alone expansion pack to Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad where the story revolves around the Pacific campaign of World War II.

With a new arsenal of weapons, that relate to the American and Japanese weaponry used in the Pacific Theater to maintain historical accuracy, the game allows the player to be able to take part of either side – American or Japanese – fighting across iconic locations from the famous island-hopping campaigns in the Pacific from 1942 to 1945, giving out a rich gaming experience. Red Orchestra 2 Rising Storm offers a new type of gameplay to the franchise – “asymmetrical warfare” – with more improved fully automatic weapons to double the action.

A whole squad working together can really make a difference. It’s nice to play a game where teamwork is the most important factor to obtain victory. The game’s realistic gritty atmosphere, graphics, Japanese banzai attacks, and American weaponry along with balanced maps will totally get you. Rising Storm, just like its fore bearer, is indeed a phenomena and worthy tactical shooter in its own way.
