Video game Nazis are very often depicted as being obsessed with the occult, and that’s exactly what’s happened in Achtung! Cthulu Tactics. That’s right, the Nazis have gained control over a bunch of Lovecraftian tentacle monsters. Yay!
This occult turn-based strategy game sees you taking control of Charlie Company, who are seeking to do the impossible and turn the tide of the war back in the favour of the Allies. There’s RPG elements behind this, as you go on a campaign that spans the world, with each character having their own backstory, weapon specialty and combat abilities. Corporal Akhee “The Eye” Singh, for example, wields a sentient amulet that can transform him into a whirling cloud of blades. What, you didn’t think it was just the Nazis who got to use occult abilities, did you?
The game is coming to PS4, Xbox One and PC in Q4 this year, with a Switch version planned for release at a later date.
