Lead an unlikely team of commando scientists behind enemy lines to fight Nazis, uncover arcane mysteries, and wield experimental technology to turn the tide of WWII in this real-time tactical stealth adventure.
The real-time tactical gameplay revolves around carefully planning and executing stealthy maneuvers to navigate through densely packed levels and eliminate or avoid enemy patrols. Players take control of a team of six unique commando characters, each with their own specialized supernatural abilities.
The roster includes a wide variety of specialists, such as the chemist Rosa Reznick, who can create toxic gas traps, and the esoteric psychoanalyst Siegfried von Adelsberg, who can enter an enemy's mind and swap positions with them. These abilities allow for a high degree of flexibility, as players can tackle challenges in multiple ways depending on the situation.
The levels present high-stakes stealth puzzles, where failing to eliminate a single guard can quickly lead to detection and failure. However, the game encourages experimentation and rewards players for chaining together different character abilities for maximum effect. Upgrading the characters' skills and unlocking new abilities adds a significant degree of depth and replayability.
The narrative, which follows the exploits of the Enigma Squad as they battle the occult machinations of the Nazis, is seamlessly integrated into the gameplay. Cinematic cutscenes and character interactions provide context and motivation, while the supernatural elements of the story are reflected in the unique abilities available to the player.
Reviewers have praised the game's close resemblance to the beloved Mimimi Games titles, highlighting the high production values, tight controls, and engaging stealth-focused gameplay loop as major strengths. While the game may not reinvent the wheel, it is widely regarded as a worthy successor to the real-time tactical stealth genre, delivering a captivating experience for fans of the Commandos, Desperados, and Shadow Tactics franchises.
