Verdict: Not Shovelware.
What I Say:
I enjoyed Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics. Based on a table-top game, this is a turn-based 4 member squad warfare simulator with your elite (and ethnically diverse) team infiltrating a super-secret Nazi project compound where a new occult-based weapon is being developed.
Working out the relative strengths and weaknesses of each individual named team member and how best to deploy these against the Nazi baddies is key to winning each scenario. There are a total of 11 main scenarios and 11 side missions which allow you to accumulate experience and equipment buffs. Levels can take anything from 30 minutes to 2 hours to complete.
The graphics are fluid and pleasant to look at and there are several levels of difficulty for ongoing added challenges once you’ve beaten the game the first time.
What They Say:
Led by Eric ‘Badger’ Harris, your team of allied warriors must battle behind enemy lines in the midst of World War II. Outmanned, outgunned, and up against an evil of mythic proportions, the battle has only just begun.
