UKRAINE – August 28, 2023 – Strategic Mind: Spirit of Liberty, a hardcore, turn-based, historically accurate strategy game set in WWII from developer Starni Games and publisher Hyperstrange, marches towards victory today on PC via Steam.
Command Finnish forces and fend off legions of Soviet soldiers and Axis Powers in a legendary story of perseverance. Survive brutal battles during a historically dark period of the World War II era, and strategize defensive warfare tactics in a fight to protect the citizens of Finland from annihilation.
Step into history and experience a historically accurate campaign spanning the Winter War, Continuation War and Lapland War, or experience an alternative timeline with “what-if” battles. Navigate maps both small and large with real-world landmarks and objectives, and witness the realities of war through the eyes of authentic historical figures. Though outnumbered, achieve perfect positioning and line-of-sight advantages to outsmart the brute force of the soviets in historically accurate, turn-based isometric battles.
Spend resources wisely while upgrading and outfitting Finnish armies with the latest firepower, and level up squadrons of soldiers to learn new skills. Equip special equipment for every battle situation with close-quarters molotov cocktails and long-range anti-armor rifles to keep enemy tanks at bay. Capture Soviet vehicles to bolster your ranks, and even the odds with British Bombers, Dutch Fokkers and US fighter planes
Call upon the aid of historic heroes to overcome insurmountable odds. Inflict damage from afar with Simo Häyhä, the deadliest sniper of World War 2 history, and witness the realities of war with more than 60 minutes of cinematics featuring Finnish figureheads such as Baron Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim, Risto Heikki Ryti, and many more.
Achieve an edge against the enemy in all aspects. Use reconnaissance to gain enemy intel before battle, and consult HQ to discuss the optimal approach to nullify the ever-advancing Soviets. Implement incendiary shells to maximize damage, and call in air support to both spot enemies from afar and rain death from above. Wait for the perfect time to strike with day-night cycles that present strategic advantages.
