On this alternate Earth, you're in command of a British Special Forces team that includes two werewolf commandos, a sassy sniper with magically enhanced aiming abilities, a deranged battlefield medic, an android super-soldier, and so on. You'd think that this elite force would be able to win the war single-handedly for the Allies, but it's not quite that simple. The root of all evil in Operation: Darkness, the magician Adolf Hitler, has masses of tanks and human soldiers to send your way. He also commands a cadre of Nazi vampires, the shambling forces of the living dead, and even a fire-breathing dragon.

A British Werewolf in Germany
This is a familiar sort of turn-based strategy game from a mechanics standpoint, with each member of your unit being able to move and attack or use a special ability each turn. Taking cover to keep out of line of sight is usually a safe bet, but the enemy is smart enough to often do the same, at least when they're not in a tightly clustered formation. When they are bunched up like this, it's usually a good idea to fire off a rocket or lob a grenade to take out as many troops at a time as possible. Ending any given turn next to an enemy corpse will allow you to loot their bodies, and scavenging for enemy equipment is a great way to maintain your peak fighting capability, even during a protracted battle.
