In a frozen world, eight characters have to join forces in a journey to find Dr. Margaret Blythe, their last hope. 1971 Project Helios is a turn-based strategy game which combines modern warfare military tactics and close combat. Firearms and vehicles are scarce, conflicts and hostilities have no end, and the terrible freezing cold annihilates friends and foes in its path.
    The campaign sets in a frozen world, in which eight people – each one with its own problems and interests – join in a sort of temporary alliance, to find one particular person: Dr Margaret Blythe. Along their way they will have to avoid raider attacks, investigate military headquarters, and infiltrate into the territory of a dangerous anti-technological religious sect. On the trail of her whereabouts, they will travel and fight shoulder to shoulder, and they inevitably get to know the others. Depending on some strategic and personal decisions, you will guide this characters right to one of three possible endings.

Simple, easy to understand turn-based strategy game. There are no endless silly side quests, no character development, and you don't need 3 hours dedicated to understand how to play the game. Download or put the cartridge in and start playing immediately. Levels are well thought out and challenging. There is an over-arching story which is interesting and adds to the game play. If your looking for a straight up turn based strategy game this is it. I give it a 10 out of 10 for what it is and what it doesn't try to be.… Expand

El1971 Project Helios es un juego de estrategia por turnos muy entretenido. Es un juego corto (6 horas aproximadamente) pero muy entretenido. El sistema de combate es bueno, con variedad de situaciones y de combates. La historia tiene una ambientación interesante, y aunque es entretenida, es muy sencillita. Durante el juego pasarás mucho más tiempo luchando que leyendo, y también hay posibilidades de exploración para conseguir algunos coleccionables con los que ampliar el lore. A nivel gráficos y música no es una maravilla, pero cunple. Lo mejor es que es un juego muy orientado al combate, con una duración muy correcta, que te mantendrá siempre entretenido y con algunos retos interesantes. Lo peor es que la versión de Switch tiene algún bug puntual, aunque no estropea la experiencia. Si te gusta el género, aunque hay opciones mejores, lo recomiendo.… Expand

    Plot is pretty good, though rather straightforward. As far as the combat, there are free games from 10 years ago released on the fire kindlePlot is pretty good, though rather straightforward. As far as the combat, there are free games from 10 years ago released on the fire kindle that tackle the concept of turn based field battles. The maps for each battle are very small, which means any unit can cover nearly the entire map in one turn, rendering most obstacles used for cover useless as the enemies will be able to make it around them before taking their shot. Also each level, which take 1-3 minutes, only separated by ~5 seconds of walking further along the map before hitting the next random encounter battle, start to all blend together as there’s very little variety in what you can do. The music is intense, very battle music heavy, though doesn’t really fit with the game as it’s not adrenaline-rush gameplay as much as it is struggling to get the cursor to land on the specific spot you want your units to move to before repeating their one exaggerated shooting animation they do every time.… Expand

    Avoid this game like the plague. Only could get through 1 hour of this crap game. It wants to be Xcode but is too simple. It wants to be a good story but it falls flat as do the characters. Not interesting. I do not care about the story. The combat had opportunities but the battle music is obnoxious, and the battling is pretty repetitive. Probably the worst game I’ve ever played in my life.    … Expand
