What it is
Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics is a turn-based strategy game from Auroch Digital, set in the Achtung! Cthulhu universe during a secret war across Europe. Players lead an Allied squad against Nazi factions and an occult threat, using turn-based ground battles to fight through a world of dark science and Mythos secrets. Its systems give tactical choices several dimensions: Action Points let you balance movement and combat, while kills and critical hits build Momentum that can swing battles. Light can expose and suppress hidden creatures, and witnessing too many horrors can affect a unit’s sanity during a fight. The game is listed as single-player, with full controller support, Steam Cloud and Remote Play on TV. It was released for Windows on Oct 4, 2018, and is categorized as Action, Indie, RPG and Strategy.
