Characters:
Karl Fairburne
OSS Operative
Focused and fearless. Unmatched with a sniper rifle.
Spent most of the war operating behind enemy lines. Not used to working in a team but willing to adapt if circumstances require it. For example, if confronted by millions of bloodthirsty Nazi Zombies.
Dr. Efram Schweiger
Academic Researcher
Former pacifist and sceptic. Would rather be in a library.
Avoided conscription by assisting the Nazis research their favourite obsession: the occult. Inadvertently, he assisted in bringing about the apocalypse. He is no longer a pacifist. Or a sceptic.
Hermann Wolff
Wehrmacht Captain
Alert, wary. Doting husband and father.
Little patience for politics with its attendant egos and back-stabbing corruption. Never believed in Hitler’s message but followed orders for the sake of protecting his family.
Boris Medvedev
Red Army Veteran
Stoic, practical and no-nonsense. Fiercely loyal to the deserving.
Narrowly avoided charges of insubordination on a number of occasions. He has witnessed and survived far worse than the horrors of the zombie apocalypse.
Hanna Schulz
Freedom Fighter
Fierce. Driven by vengeance.
Orphaned at an early age, values family above all else. Wears the uniform of the man who executed her husband and children.
Beth Coleman
Portrait Painter
A keen eye and a steady hand. An artist with a gun.
Exchanged brushes and canvas for guns and bullets when subjects stopped sitting politely and started attacking her. No previous combat experience but quickly discovered a talent for dispatching the undead.
Marie Chevalier
Marie Chevalier
Resistance Fighter
Independent and single-minded. Dreams of owning a vineyard.
Executed key sabotage missions to facilitate the Allies’ advance through France following the invasion of Normandy. Then travelled alone to Berlin on a personal mission to assassinate Hitler himself.
Anya Bochkareva
Amateur Sharpshooter
Patient, deliberate and patriotic.
Gave up rifle sports and her university studies to serve in the military when Germany invaded the Soviet Union. Rapidly established herself as one of the most formidable snipers in the Red Army.
If this OT, and the overwhelming praise this game has received from GAF, still isn't enough to sway you to purchase this game, then here's of a GIF of a Nazi zombie's balls exploding:
Swayed yet? No?
How about now?
