21 itemsAbout the Game
April 20th of 1945. In the middle of the chaos of the last days of World War II, the SSO (Strategic Services Office) launches a desperate mission. Their best agent, lieutenant Kawalski, a veteran of the Polish resistance tormented and haunted by his past, is sent in a suicide mission: prevent the resurgence of a dark empire before it's too late.
Accompanied by the Dogs of War squad, Kawalski will try to settle the score with those who took everything from him.
Through the devastated ruins of Berlin, there will be an epic pursuit that will culminate in a showdown between the forces of good and evil. The result of this war waged in the shadows will seal the world's fate.
You'll have to locate and eliminate the main leaders of a fallen empire before they escape from justice in 9 missions full of action, with environments that are completely interactive and destructible, recreated with real references from the era.
You will also have to seize the weapons and advanced technology developed by the regime and recover the priceless relics and art pieces plundered from the occupied territories, using both real weapons and advanced prototypes. Capture enemy vehicles and take strategic positions to make sure you emerge victorious!
