Deadly Dozen Demo

Attacking a powerful foe head on is rarely a good idea, even if you have the necessary forces to most likely overpower him on the long run. However, many lives are lost in the process and your strength is slowly reduced nonetheless, even if you come out victorious from every battle. Thus, striking from the shadows in order to bring down the enemy from within is always the recommended approach, although it is also very difficult to achieve.

On the other hand, Deadly Dozen presents a different type of scenario, one in which the infiltration strategy can work wonders and cause serious amounts of damage in a very short time, as long as they are executed efficiently and they target the weaknesses of the enemy. Hence, twelve people can be enough to disrupt the normal routine of your foes, while gathering useful information and getting rid of vital personnel.

The background story behind the game is actually based on a movie that presented a similar idea and it basically assumes that America had a team of twelve dangerous and deadly commandos, who were tasked with the most difficult missions available and sent deep within enemy territory. Thus, they were the ones who conducted dangerous infiltrations throughout Nazi Germany, in order to retrieve intelligence, rescue people, or just eliminate various charismatic figures.

In order to emphasize on the idea of a team working together, the game allows you to choose four characters from the twelve available ones before each mission and you get to control each one of them during the actual gameplay. Naturally, every individual comes with specific bonuses and skills, whether it's healing, sniping or demolition and you can make use of their talents whenever you require them in action.

However, you must also protect each team member, otherwise you risk losing them for good and gradually run out of personnel to tackle the missions. Since death during a mission is final, you have to continue the entire campaign without the characters you lose, which can turn out to be quite the bother, especially without slightly more instrumental individuals, such as the medic.

Deadly Dozen contains enough good elements to satisfy almost every need, ranging to tactical gameplay options, to plenty of shooting and even vehicles to make use of during the missions. Moreover, the story is quite interesting and it certainly keeps you hooked until the end, regardless of whether you are satisfied by the final resolution or not.
