Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics - The Forest of Fear announced


Ripstone Publishing has announced Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics - The Forest of Fear is coming later this year for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. Developed by Auroch Digital, and based on the table-top game by Modiphius, players will get to play this strategic role-playing game where Allies trapped behind enemy lines must do what they can to uncover and foil a dastardly Nazi plot.

The game encompasses an array of unique gameplay features, including an innovative combat system constructed around the theme of light vs darkness. Representing the battle of ‘good vs evil’, Allied characters find solace in the light whilst the opposing Nazi army hide in the shadows awaiting their moment to strike. A skilled player can use this light and dark feature to provide an edge to their gameplay strategy.

Tomas Rawlings, Design Director at Auroch Digital, enthuses: “It’s a real honor to work alongside Modiphius and Ripstone on what will be a premium Cthulhu-mashup. Having worked with the Ripstone team before back in the PlayStation 3 days, together we made amazing strategy games, and I’m confident history will repeat itself!”

The game is on Kickstarter, but Ripstone have announced they have funded the core development, any additional funds will be used for new characters and missions.
