“Together this game and I knocked heads but despite a staccato gameplay flow and at times a sense of overwhelming difficulty, this was a strategy game that wanted to keep me playing. Read full review >”

“Wide unit roster and numerous historically accurate details.”

“Strategic Mind: Spectre of Communism brings heavy competition to the genre, particularly when it comes to the very similar gameplay that it shares with Panzer Corps 2.”

About This Game

A spectre is haunting Europe — the spectre of communism. (c) Karl Marx, The Communist Manifesto

Strategic Mind: Spectre of Communism is a (hi)story-driven turn-based strategy set in the WW2 period. It offers refined wargame mechanics, story-rich gameplay, and modern 3D graphics. Lead the USSR Armed forces staging the world Communist revolution.



The game has many historical operations and events but also features a number of alternate history moments. It is created with great care and attention to historical details by a team which is passionate about WW2 history. Watching cinematics before and after every operation you can almost feel that you are indeed a participant of the unfolding epochal events. Moreover, numerous primary and secondary objectives allow you to explore every battle in detail. The gameplay is plot-driven and features many historical personalities such as Joseph Stalin, Georgy Zhukov, Vyacheslav Molotov, Kliment Voroshilov, Lavrentiy Beria, Aleksandr Vasilevsky, Konstantin Rokossovsky and others.



Strategic Mind: Spectre of Communism is the third installment in the Strategic Mind line of games. The first one - “Strategic Mind: The Pacific” - was about naval warfare during the Pacific War, while the second one - “Strategic Mind: Blitzkrieg” - was telling the story of the European theater from the German perspective. It is high time “Strategic Mind: Spectre of Communism” tells the USSR story in WW2, a story filled with valiant hearts and vile betrayals. As a part of the Strategic Mind franchise, it will retain many features of the series along with adding new content and features to the existing variety.
