Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics is a turn-based tactics video game developed by Auroch Digital and published by Ripstone Games. It is an adaptation of Modiphius Entertainment's Achtung! Cthulhu tabletop game.[2]
In 1944, Nazi occultists harness the power of Cthulhu Mythos creatures. Players control a squad of four commandos who have prior experience dealing with the occult and are sent into Germany to counter the occult threat. Combat is turn-based and tactical, using action points.[3] Another statistic, momentum points, governs how often characters can use special abilities, such as increasing visibility or doing extra damage. Instead of recharging automatically, regaining momentum points depends on actions, such as getting critical hits.[4] As they win combats, players can customize the commandos using skill trees.[3]
Development
Auroch Digital crowdfunded the game on Kickstarter in March 2018 and raised a bit more than double the £10,000 goal.[5] Ripstone Games and Modiphius Entertainment published the game for Windows on October 4, 2018; for PlayStation 4 on November 20–21, 2018; for Xbox One on November 23, 2018; and for Nintendo Switch on January 24, 2019.[6]
