Valkyrie is a Black Orchestra game with quicker, simpler gameplay, and new strategic elements. Focus on assassinating Hitler with explosives, completing Operation Valkyrie with the Gestapo always close at hand to pull you in for questioning. Stay one step ahead of the Gestapo and defeat Hitler before they collect enough evidence to have you tried for treason and executed.
In this stand-alone version of Black Orchestra, players experience the familiar tension and dread but in about half the time of the original. Gameplay has been streamlined even as new strategic elements have been added. In this version the conspirators must focus on assassinating Hitler with explosives, completing Operation Valkyrie. This can be accomplished in a number of ways, with the Gestapo always close at hand to pull you in for questioning. The game ends either when you successfully defeat Hitler or when the Gestapo collect enough evidence to have you tried for treason and executed. The game also ends in failure if you exhaust the interrogation deck.

5.0 - My absolutely favorite games, I will rarely if ever turn down an opportunity to play these games.
4.5 - Oh my gosh, the absolute best games...but also I'm not always down to play them. For one reason or another these are just shy of perfect. Whether it's mechanics, length, brain burn whatever.
4.0 - This is where a game becomes recommended. Now I may or may not be in the mood, or even own it, especially considering other games. But a 4 is where we cross from good to great.3.5 - Really enjoyed, don't love it, will often lose out to better games, but there's a part of me that wants to own it/play it more.
3.0 - A good game, I enjoy playing it. But also if I never play it again I'm not losing any sleep over that.
2.5 - Wasn't the biggest fan. Wasn't the worst, but didn't feel like the best use of time. Would prefer not to play again but am willing to given the right circumstances.
2.0 - A game I don't want to play again. I'm not saying it isn't good, I'm saying I don't want to play it again regardless of circumstance.
1.5 - I did not like this game, do not want to play it, and think it's a fairly flawed game.
1.0 - I can't imagine rating a game this poorly ever. It would take something so abysmal I probably didn't get to even play it.
