Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics
''Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics'' is a turn-based tactics video game developed by Auroch Digital and published by Ripstone Games and Modiphius Entertainment. It is an adaptation of Modiphius' ''Achtung! Cthulhu'' tabletop game. Gameplay In 1944, Nazi occultists harness the power of Cthulhu Mythos creatures. Players control a squad of four commandos who have prior experience dealing with the occult and are sent into Germany to counter the occult threat. Combat is turn-based and tactical, using action points. Another statistic, momentum points, governs how often characters can use special abilities, such as increasing visibility or doing extra damage. Instead of recharging automatically, regaining momentum points depends on actions, such as getting critical hits. As they win combats, players can customize the commandos using skill trees. Development Auroch Digital crowdfunded the game on Kickstarter in March 2018 and raised a bit more than double the £10,000 goal. Ripstone G ...

Cthulhu Mythos Video Games
Cthulhu is a fictional cosmic entity created by writer H. P. Lovecraft. It was first introduced in his short story "The Call of Cthulhu", published by the American pulp magazine ''Weird Tales'' in 1928. Considered a Great Old One within the pantheon of Lovecraftian cosmic entities, this creature has since been featured in numerous popular culture references. Lovecraft depicts it as a gigantic entity worshipped by cultists, in the shape of a green octopus, dragon, and a caricature of human form. The Lovecraft-inspired universe, the Cthulhu Mythos, where it exists with its fellow entities, is named after it. Etymology, spelling, and pronunciation Invented by Lovecraft in 1928, the name Cthulhu was probably chosen to echo the word ''chthonic'' (Ancient Greek "of the earth"), as apparently suggested by Lovecraft himself at the end of his 1923 tale "The Rats in the Walls". The chthonic, or earth-dwelling, spirit has precedents in numerous ancient and medieval mythologies, often guard ...

The aurochs (''Bos primigenius'') ( or ) is an extinct cattle species, considered to be the wild ancestor of modern domestic cattle. With a shoulder height of up to in bulls and in cows, it was one of the largest herbivores in the Holocene; it had massive elongated and broad horns that reached in length. The aurochs was part of the Pleistocene megafauna. It probably evolved in Asia and migrated west and north during warm interglacial periods. The oldest known aurochs fossils found in India and North Africa date to the Middle Pleistocene and in Europe to the Holstein interglacial. As indicated by fossil remains in Northern Europe, it reached Denmark and southern Sweden during the Holocene. The aurochs declined during the late Holocene due to habitat loss and hunting, and became extinct when the last individual died in 1627 in Jaktorów forest in Poland. The aurochs is depicted in Paleolithic cave paintings, Neolithic petroglyphs, Ancient Egyptian reliefs and Bronze Age fi ...
