Our take on Operation Thunderstorm
Players looking for varied non-combat systems may bounce off when the operation settles into its core loop: moving through enemy territory, using cover during firefights, and pursuing the three designated targets.
What is Operation Thunderstorm?
Set in 1942, Operation Thunderstorm casts the player as an MI6 agent assigned to eliminate Joseph Goebbels, Heinrich Himmler, and Hermann Goering.
The mission takes place in enemy territory across three locations: the French township of Vervins, a Bavarian castle, and a secret facility in Poland’s Owl Mountains. Combat features several enemy classes controlled by AI supported by the Jupiter EX engine. The Covert Fire system lets the player use the surroundings and shoot from cover. The game focuses on carrying out the assigned operation through these locations while engaging enemy forces and pursuing the three named targets.
