    Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics is a worthy addition to the turn based strategy genre and well worth your time.

    As a fan of Lovecraft's blend of horror, I love what Achtung! offers - enough so that I've been more than willing to play through the occasional frustration of those virtual dice rolls to keep pushing on.

    Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics is an accessible turn-based strategy title on the PS4, but it lacks the polish, depth and variety needed to have real staying power.

    Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics has some new ideas, but mostly retreads familiar territory.

    A competent if slightly unremarkable tactics game. [Issue#158, p.86]

    Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics is the kind of mash-up property that by all rights should have the right ingredients to hit that sweet spot. By all accounts, the original property actually does manage to do just that. But the digital adaptation lacks on several fronts, not the least of which is the unfortunate underusage of the occult element of its namesake. The grindy battle system with little enemy and environmental variety is also nothing to write home about. Cthulhu Tactics sounds like an intriguing mix of its two titular elements, but fails to deliver on the promise of either.
