Dunkle Manöver: Operation Schattenspiele

Dunkle Manöver: Operation Schattenspiele is the successor of Dunkle Manöver and uses the same graphics engine and game mechanics. The only new content is a campaign with 20 missions and a tutorial.

The game is basically turn-based; this means the regular movements are in real time and during the fights the game switches to a turn-based mode where every action like shooting or moving costs a certain amount of action points. The player mostly controls vehicles which carry up to six agents. These agents can be used to take vehicles of the enemy. The interface features a quick access bar for the vehicles and a mini map.

After the mission the player can keep all captures vehicles and upgrade them. But then he has the agony of choice for the next mission because the number of vehicles used is restricted. The game features 25 vehicles including bikes, tanks, aircrafts or even Trabants.
