Strategic Mind: Fight for Dominance offers players the unique opportunity to lead the German Armed Forces in their audacious conquests, defying unimaginable odds as they strive for ultimate victory in Europe through the strategic doctrine of blitzkrieg. Alternatively, players can assume the role of the USSR Armed Forces, orchestrating the world Communist Revolution and shaping the course of history. With both perspectives available, gamers will experience the complexities and challenges faced by each side during this monumental era...

Overcome unthinkable odds and claim victory in Europe

For those who played and loved Strategic Mind Spectre of Communism, Strategic Mind: Fight for Dominance delivers another slice of tactical turn-based battles, designed to be as historically accurate as possible.

How you play is up to you. Lead the German Armed forces overcoming unthinkable odds and claiming the ultimate bittersweet victory in Europe. Or lead the USSR Armed forces staging the world Communist Revolution. The game has many historical operations and events but also features a number of alternate history moments. It is created with great care and attention to historical details by a team which is passionate about WW2 history. Numerous primary and secondary objectives allow you to explore every battle in detail. Command ground, air, and naval forces with an emphasis on land battles. Upgrade and customize your troops by leveling them up and selecting skills that best suit your strategy. Provide your troops with additional equipment for each operation according to your strategy and the war theatre.

There is an incredibly steep learning curve here and it's obvious that this game is better suited to PC players, where the use of a keyboard is much more intuitive. While the developers have done an incredible job of bringing this to consoles, those with a short attention span might find the tutorial a little heavy going. As with the previous game, the vocal acting is not overly impressive, but I doubt anyone is going to buy this game for the cut sequences.

Spend many happy hours exploring this deep, challenging game

Those that love the slow pace of board games and spending ages thinking tactically, will spend many happy hours exploring this deep, challenging game. If you're looking for a quick and easy game then you'll find this unfathomable.

If you're a history buff, a fan of WW2 campaigns, or just like a challenge then you'll find Strategic Mind: Fight for Dominance to be extremely rewarding.
