“Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics” out now on Nintendo Switch

Developer Auroch Digital and publisher Ripstone Games are proud to announce that its Weird World War game Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics is now available on Nintendo Switch for £19.99 / $24.99 / €24.99.

Based on the hugely popular tabletop RPG from Modiphius Entertainment, Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics is an occult turn-based strategy game pitting players against a rogues’ gallery of Lovecraftian beings controlled by the Nazis. You’ll have to use your cunning military tactics, along with some nifty supernatural powers, to save the world. Set in an alternate history of World War II where the Nazis’ investigations into the occult have resulted in the summoning of Lovecraftian monsters, you’ll have to take the reigns of Charlie Company, an elite band of allied forces sent in to do the impossible; foil the Nazi plans and turn the tide of war.

“Having invited PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC players to experience our unholy combination of Nazis and Lovecraftian monsters, we’re thrilled to finally share Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics with players on Nintendo Switch,” said Mike Daw, Producer at Auroch Digital. “The Switch version is packed full of occult monstrosities, compelling characters, and turn-based tactical action, as well as the option to play at home or on the move. Now players can take the Weird World War with them wherever they go.”
