Starting out as a bunch of strangers who have gathered together to try and gain the support of others and help out those who the government look down upon, you’ll evolve into a close-knit team of survivors who risk it all to help free and hide those in danger of death at the hands of the Nazis. So, let’s take a closer look at Through the Darkest of Times and see why I highly recommend this title to fans of strategic games, those who like history, and anyone curious about what life was like during the reign of Hitler’s war… I’ve played through the whole game once, so far, making it to the end without too many casualties, yet I can’t wait to try again and see if I can be a bit more aggressive and make a bigger impact when I play it next. This week I’ve been taking a look at Through the Darkest of Times, a strategic game that covers the entirety of the Second World War from the eyes of a fictional resistance team.Īlthough the timeline can’t be altered and the events which are set to occur can’t be stopped, Through the Darkest of Times lets you make moral and strategic choices that affect your playthrough as you become immersed within it’s dark and emotional narrative. Games like Valiant Hearts and My Memory of Us used real events and documents to create interactive narrative adventures focused on the horrors of war and how the events tore friends and families apart, setting people against each other due to their race, religion and nationality. We can’t change our history, recreating the events which happened that still affect us today, but we can use it as a means of educating and informing people on how things were for our relatives many years ago.
