This game reminds me a lot of Dispatch, with the way you have to choose each characters and what they can do based on their skills and beliefs etc. Personally for me, this has the much added bonus of being themed around WWII as I have a huge interest in the topic, and this is a very fun way to immerse yourself in what may have been the reality of some of those fighting with the resistance during this time. Gameplay mechanics are very simple and easy to understand, the artstyle is very pleasing with its simplicity, and there is something about the sounds and music that just hit the right spot for me. In terms of story telling, I find this to be the best component breaking each of the acts into key points throughout the time before, during, and after the war.
A well written and enjoyable historical strategy game that forces you to make difficult choices while immersing you in the resistance to Nazi rule. The challenge comes from the seemingly impossible decisions in dangerous and desperate situations. Although the theme is obviously dark the game contains a message of hope and perseverance. The moving story of the struggle against authoritarian nationalism, fascism and dehumanisation is VERY relevant today with the increasing rise of the Far Right. This game is essential for teenagers and adults alike and could even be used as an educational tool.
This is a very accurate simulation of small resistances to the NSDAP. The emotional weight is right, and it covers the major historical benchmarks admirably without allowing the player (a member of a small resistance group in Berlin) to alter history, do massive deeds, etc. As a historian, I think game could actually be a valuable teaching tool, causing youngsters to ask questions like "who did burn the Reichstag?" or "Who was Horst Wessel?" etc. This could even be a good teaching tool for a high school class on post-Weimar German history (homework: do a playthrough, then have a class discussing the many references).
what an amazing game I love WW2 games and especially non-combat ones. This is like perfect for me: * WW2 * Underground partisans * Heavy choices * Members can be permanently removed(death, arrest, other cases....) * Boardgame mechanics It feels increasingly like a boardgame. A complicated and a fun one that is. But with the story and amazing atmosphere The story sometimes can feel a bit too much cuz it happens between the turns, and when you think of your gameplay strategy and wanna execute it(which requires a plan and a couple of turns). Sometimes the story happenes after every turn, which is not a problem as per say, but some of them can be up to 10 mins or some(or at least that how it felt) So I think the main weakness of this game is this balance between story and a gameplay. Even tho, I liked both of these aspects
