The game is set in 1939 of an alternate universe, and thus combines technology of this period in the real world with a variety of futuristic lasers and weapons, without the "World War II-only" mode of the first game. However, the first playthrough is generally consistent with the historical World War II, while subsequent playthroughs feature more lasers and high-tech weapons, as well as a slightly extended ending.
