Deadly Dozen Reloaded

Deadly Dozen Reloaded, developed by N-Fusion Interactive and published by Ziggurat, is a modern reimagining of the original 2001 World War II tactical shooter Deadly Dozen, a cult-classic remembered for its squad-based infiltration missions, unconventional level design, and emphasis on using a small group of specialized soldiers rather than overwhelming force. Reloaded attempts to remaster that foundational idea for contemporary audiences—upgrading visuals, reworking controls, improving stability, and refining mechanics—while maintaining the slower, methodical pacing that separated the original from mainstream WWII shooters. Instead of cinematic spectacle or nonstop firefights, the game focuses on planning, patience, and quiet execution behind enemy lines, reflecting the narrative premise: twelve highly trained operatives sent on covert missions too dangerous or morally ambiguous for standard military units. The core structure remains faithful to its predecessor. Each mission allows players to select a team of four from the titular twelve soldiers, each with distinct specialties—snipers, demolitions experts, medics, machine gunners, scouts, and more. This squad composition system …

The game offers an engaging tactical experience, giving you freedom to approach missions either solo or as part of squad. It's one of the game's strongest points letting you strategize and adapt to situations. That's what I really liked. However the friendly AI or more like artificial dementia has flaws. The Squad members will stop moving while you scroll through them making them vulnerable to enemy AI, some commands aren't working at all and the health pack is mostly better option than other gadgets you can carry. The weapon balance is another issue. Sniper Rifles, in particular, are hard to control and pistols are best firearms you can get in the game next to SMGs and Rocket Launchers. When It comes to level design some levels are frustrating and some of them are rose garden. There is nothing in between. Level 6 and 7 altough 6 had little stutters these levels aren't really of an issue but level 9 was the most frustrating one. There are no health packs and almost no firearms to pick up and mines are hard to see. There are varitions of enemies like Commanders, Scouts, Snipers, Miniguners, Dogs and Tanks, etc. Their AI is so dumb that They can't hit you If you constantly mov…

This plays and feels like a cheap Unity game. It's also filled to the brim with bugs.

Haven´t played the original Deadly Dozen, but this one was pretty bad. Getting all the achievements was genuinely painful. One of the very few games I´ve played where killing Nazis was not fun. I´d be lying if I said I had no fun whatsoever (some of the glitches were funny), but the overall experience was underwhelming at best. Check it out if you´re curious I guess, but don´t expect a good game.

looks nothing like the original, it looks like an asset flip, the original may be outdated, but it felt like it had soul and ambition, this one clearly does not have that gameplay ambition

DO NOT BUY. Just by pressing the right controller stick inwards, freezes not only the game but your whole rig! How could they not fix such an apparent bug? Using a controller freezes the whole game. Avoid like the plague till it's fixed.. if it ever will be that is
