Auroch Digital and Ripstone have announced that Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics - The Forest of Fear, their collaboration with table-top gaming publisher Modiphius, will hit the Nintendo Switch later this year.
Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics is a World War II themed strategic role-playing game which sees players take control of an army of Allied heroes trapped behind enemy lines. Drawing from the Achtung! Cthulhu roleplaying universe developed by Modiphius, the game tasks you with trying to uncover and foil a Nazi plot of terrifying evil.
The game is said to make use of some intriguing 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 while the opposing Nazi army hide in the shadows awaiting their moment to strike.
Although the title has already been successfully funded on Kickstarter, a small handful of days remain for new backers to pledge their hard-earned cash towards a number of stretch goals.
Are you a fan of the Achtung! Cthulhu franchise? Are you looking forward to seeing a video game representation hit the Switch? Let us know your thoughts down below.

Theres potential but would like to see some gameplay.
I love HP Lovecraft (despite his foul views on race), so I will look forward to hearing more on this one.
If it releases, I might be interested. But not a genre I’m a big fan off and never heard of it before just now.
I'm huge fan of strategy role playing game. Can't wait.
Wow, this looks absolutely fantastic. Looking forward to see more of it!
I'm a big fan of the Cthulhu mythos so this is on my radar... but I'm skeptical of the complete lack of gameplay footage. We'll see.
Modiphius seems to be everywhere latley. I'm very much a tabletop gamer and when a few years ago I backed their kickstarter for an RPG set in the Infinity universe, they were nobodies. Now they hold several licenses like Fallout, Conan and Star Trek and apparently two of their games are getting digital adaptations (Achtung! Cthulhu and Mutant Year Zero). Too bad that this apparently came at the cost of delivering the Infinity RPG on time, with more than a few backers charging back
Any chance I have to kick some Nazi ass, sign me up. I would like to see some gameplay footage first, since I'm not really a big fan of tabletop games , but might make an exception for this.
Hi folks - I'm the Community Manager at Auroch Digital, the developers of this game. It's super exciting to get the opportunity to bring a title to the Switch!
I've noticed that several people have pointed that there isn't much gameplay footage featured in the Kickstarter campaign video, so I just wanted to take the chance to show a few in-game assets off.
It's all pre-alpha footage and will have lighting, shading etc. applied to it, but it hopefully gives an idea of what to expect from the game.
