About Strategic Mind: Spectre of Communism

A spectre is haunting Europe — the spectre of communism. (c) Karl Marx, The Communist Manifesto

Strategic Mind: Spectre of Communism is a (hi)story-driven turn-based strategy set in the WW2 period. It offers refined wargame mechanics, story-rich gameplay, and modern 3D graphics. 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. Watching cinematics before and after every operation you can almost feel that you are indeed a participant of the unfolding epochal events. Moreover, numerous primary and secondary objectives allow you to explore every battle in detail. The gameplay is plot-driven and features many historical personalities such as Joseph Stalin, Georgy Zhukov, Vyacheslav Molotov, Kliment Voroshilov, Lavrentiy Beria, Aleksandr Vasilevsky, Konstantin Rokossovsky and others.

Strategic Mind: Spectre of Communism is the third installment in the Strategic Mind line of games. The first one - “Strategic Mind: The Pacific” - was about naval warfare during the Pacific War, while the second one - “Strategic Mind: Blitzkrieg” - was telling the story of the European theater from the German perspective. It is high time “Strategic Mind: Spectre of Communism” tells the USSR story in WW2, a story filled with valiant hearts and vile betrayals.

Workingmen of all countries unite!” (c) Karl Marx, The Communist Manifesto

[h1] I really feel like i got honeypotted by the CIA with this game. It's a love at first sight turned spitefull hatered over years of marriage, type story, and i invite you to listen. [/h1] [h2] Honey [/h2] Scrolling throught the steam winter sale i came upon this game. Instantly it reminded me of the panzer general style games, and i was pleasantly surprised to see the multiple complexities of the original games carried over to here. As a Pancer Corps 2 player I always lacked a well thought out and working supply mechanics, customisation of the units, and greater storytelling with you playing as a real person rather than a made up general. After reasearching this game a bit, i found it had those, and was really intrigued what it can offer, and so the money from my account went. As i booted up the first mission and looked onto the scenery i thought of how good it looks, and how different it is from what i known. Listenint to this games remix of Polyushko Polye and experimenting with my units to see how the unfamiliar systems worked, in a fresh Mongolian enviorement with pre-war tanks trully enamoured me. Skip forward to the second battle of Kiev, and i am having a mental bre…

Amazing, especially the cut scenes. If you find them not up to par with current action movie lines, its because this is how people talked in their time. Love the cut scenes, not only good voice but what they say makes totally sense, studies history as a hobby. Game play is good also, probably best in this category, I played a few of them already.
