Rush for Berlin Screenshots

SCREENSHOTS FEATURE posted on 7 APR 2006 by Sean Drummy

Details and a batch of screenies for this WWII strategy game.

Deep Silver has announced new details and releases screenshots in conjunction for their real time strategy title Rush for Berlin. Specifically, Rush for Berlin introduces the heroic officers and special skill system. The officer unit is an important "add-on" to the player's army as it serves as a powerful reward the player who skillfully uses a hero on the frontlines rather than sideline them to preserve their safety. This new system, on the other hand, will motivate the player to send officer units into the battles because officers will introduce special skills, influencing the units nearby, and will level up when fighting successfully. And like any good RPG element, higher levels mean more special skills.

Some examples of officers' skills include:

Russian Officers

The commissar uses the "Double Vodka" option to raise the morale of his soldiers. His call for "Propaganda" will cause a massive amount of propaganda materials to be spread over a designated area, lowering the morale of enemy soldiers significantly. The partisan leader will detect hidden units, e.g. units hidden in a building or in the forest as well as camouflaged or wooden "fake" units.


German Officers

The engineer uses the radio-controlled "Goliath". He sends an exploding miniature tank (the so called Zwergpanzer, a name meaning "dwarf tank", which really existed) to attack the target in sight. The Luftwaffe ground officer has the "Fliegerfaust" (literal translation: flying fist, an AA system) at his disposal and provides "Air Superiority": for a limited time, all hostile planes on the entire map will be shot down by Me 262 super jets (which really existed)! The Volkssturm officer has "Last Reserves" and lowers the cost of Panzergrenadier units.


Western Allied Officers

The SAS officer's "Sabotage" skill will slow down the hostile facilities' production. The communications officer orders a "Photo Recon" and for a limited time, the fog of war disappears on the entire battlefield. The supply officer calls for a "Supply Drop" from an airborne supply container next to him. But note that the plane can be shot down.
Rush for Berlin will be available on 26th May 2006. More information is availabel from RushforBerlin.com.
