Fight the Secret War in Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics 🐙 On sale now!
/Back in 2018 we launched Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics - this was a collaboration between us, MODIPHIUS (the creator of the Achtung! Cthulhu tabletop game) and Ripstone (the publisher).
The game is set in an alternative World War II where the Nazis have allied with the Mythos powers in their goal to take over the world.
The allied forces are having to now fight two wars; the one we all know about on land, sea and in the air - and now another, the ‘Secret War’ where agents use forbidden technologies and mysterious powers to counter the Nazi-Mythos threat!
The game is a blended hybrid of a few choice concepts;
A turn-based strategy; where the player is controlling a team of agents, XCOM style. However we added our own take on this using the facing and ‘awareness’ of the unit as key parts of the game.
The Achtung! Cthulhu Tabletop RPG, Inspired by this the player’s agents have skills that the player can select how and where they develop.
The Achtung! Cthulhu skirmish wargame; We added some of the amazing characters and enemy units of this game.
Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics is currently on sale on Steam and Switch so you can join the fight against the Nazi-Mythos evil now for an amazing price!
