Operation Darkness

[TRDG]

Not for everyone here Zoners, but very interesting none the less, for me anyways.

Operation Darkness Hands-On - Xbox 360 News at GameSpot

A tactical RPG that has the Allies facing the German army in a fairly strange way, to say the least here. Supernatural Allies (Werewolves) and regular soldiers (YOU as well) against some of the same for the Germans with their soldiers, tanks and their own supernatural (Vampires, Zombies) horde as well.

From what I can tell, you can use all the usual WW II weapons, as in rifles, MGs and Bazookas, but you can also use basic spells like fireball. There are 3 main people that you have to keep alive in the game, and you can get some raw recruits as well to fill out your forces. There is also a kind of overwatch or cover options besides the basic grid battle familiar to some, and there are big battlefields to cover as well.
From Africa to Normandy and beyond from what I hear for this one. The one "knock" against the game so far is that the camera angle is'nt the best and the Atlus developer did not fix this. They just translated this one from Japan. It comes out late next month in June, so this is one I will pick up ASAP for the XBOX 360.

Cheers, my 750th post so I hope you like it along with my new medal I got for it as well, the "first" I beleave for any non-moder here at the Zone!!

I actulayy think this is very cool! One of my favorite console games was PS2's "Castle Wolfenstein"! Nice find, Tom!

I've had my eye on this one for a while now and I can't wait to get this one and try it out. I don't have the "gold" edition for the X BOX 360 so the demo is not going to happen for me but the game looks very interesting to me.

Cheers, thanks for the reply WR!!

I have a 360 but i dont have an online account. Would the game be worth getting to play without playing online?

My bad, you can Download the "sample" mission from the on-line 360, thats it.

When the game comes out, June 24th I beleave, it is a non-online game buddy, so you will be set to play if you get it.

My gut feeling is that the camera will through a lot of people off this game, but the story and gameplay will rock the house for those of us who stick with it. Once I get the strat guide as well, I will fill you in more if you did'nt get the game yet!!

Cheers, its getting closer and closer to June!!
