Bandiera Rossa: Eagles of Freedom

Bandiera Rossa: Eagles of Freedom is a 2016 video game for the XBox 360, PS3 and PC. The game was developed by 4A Games and published by the 1C Company company. It is the successor of the 2014 game Bandiera Rossa but is not considered a sequel though it follows the Greek story of the original.

Gameplay
Much like the original game Eagles of Freedom is a first person shooter. The player plays as Eleni Stavrou, a female EAM partisan for the vast majority of the time although Spiro Papadopoulos, a sniper is played as on two occasions but only on segments of missions and is only used to snipe enemies.

Unlike the first game most missions are open-world (although this played a feature in some missions in the original game's DLC Deep Underground). An added feature was the ability to break into cars, Eleni will able to search for items in all cars as well as the ability to hide. Hot-wiring is also available in some missions but if the map is too small Eleni simply tells the player "There's no point".

All Greek voice actors return for the Greek language version of the game although some of them also reprise their roles for other languages e.g. English and Russian.

In certain missions Eleni has the ability to seduce NPCs including Germans and Greeks alike. The player can then choose to kill, knock-out, take gun (not available for all NPCs) or pick pocket. Most male NPCs can be successfully seduced with the exception of SS officers and Gestapo agents. Some female NPCs can also be successfully seduced, a running gag about Eleni's sexuality which is sometimes brought into question.

Plot
The story opens in 1941 following the German occupation of Macedonia in 1941. From here the player takes the role of Eleni Stavrou who is caught under burning rubble in a recently occupied village. A man who is later revealed to be Aris Gavras helps her out and the two escape the village. The player is later introduced to Nikos Ioannidis, a Greek army captain. The three later set up Elefthería Inkls (The Freedom Eagles) which later grows though remains small. Some missions from the original game appear or are mentioned.
