Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics - 1 hour of new gameplay
204One hour of new gameplay from Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics ahead of the game's launch at the start of October. Can you and your band of Magic 12 and Section M special forces deal with the eldritch forces of... oh whatever. It's turn based squad (squid?) goodness set at the tail end of WW2 where the Elder Gods' homeboys are up to no good.
This game was provided to me by the likeable and charming people of Ripstone Games. Maybe that makes might opinion biased, maybe it doesn't. I'm not sure I even give an opinion . In the event that I do offer something that sounds a bit like an opinion, please keep in mind that I was given the key to this game. Thanks.
Here's a description of the game from Steam:
In this raging Secret War across Europe, an untold darkness spreads deep beneath the Earth and throughout the Forest of Fear. The unknown lurks in the shadows and you must claim victory at any cost, because whilst Nazi factions terrorise these lands, they are not the darkest foe you face…
Behind enemy lines and tasked with overthrowing a nightmare alliance of dark science and the occult, you hold the fate of humanity in your hands. Lead your elite squad of allied forces to victory using daring tactics and cunning strategies to overthrow the Cult of the Black Sun and destroy the Mythos secrets they plan to use.
Key Features
Tactical Combat: direct a squad of allied heroes in innovative turn-based ground battles.
Momentum System: perform well in combat by racking up kills and executing critical hits to earn Momentum and turn the tide of battle in your favour.
Light vs Dark: harness the power of the light to expose and suppress the spawn of Cthulhu hiding in wait in the oppressive darkness.
AP System: every decision is important and the Action Point System gives you the flexibility to put as much emphasis into heavy combat or nimble movement as you like.
Psychological System: witness too many horrors of war and watch as your unit's sanity begins to unravel mid-fight.
Build Your Team: characters have unique skills that can be unlocked and levelled up in different ways, and weapons can be modified to give a variety of benefits. This lets you customise your squad to better vanquish Nazi scum.
Weird World War: explore the Lovecraft-meets-WW2 universe of Achtung! Cthulhu like never before with Mythos-inspired enemies and a story-driven campaign handcrafted by John Houlihan which ties directly into the pen and paper roleplaying game narrative.
Take a seat, grab a drink and sit back to the relaxing sound of plans being drawn then abandoned within minutes.
