Description: You are a Wermacht soldier in 1940 who opposed the Third Reich. Incarcerated by the SS, you must escape the procedurally-generated dungeon with the assistance of the German resistance using environmental clues to avoid detection by guards. Every playthrough is different.
Review: Uberlaufer is a World War 2 style game in which you will be escaping Nazies and solving a few puzzles along the way. Much like other people I instantly thought of games like Wolfenstein when I started playing this. There are elements of action and stealth, strategising and puzzle thinking, but there isn’t too much story as you go along which is a shame. When it comes to gameplay it is a much slower pace than most people will like as you will have to do a lot of hiding in the shadows waiting for the right moment. With a few bugs here and there and not a whole lot of content the current asking price is a little steep, but if you take things slow and just get into your character you could well play for much longer than I did.
