About the game

What you do in a play session

In Reichbusters: Projekt Vril, you and your friends play as special agents trying to stop Nazis from harnessing supernatural Vril energy during WWII's final days. This game blends frantic action with cooperative strategy - start by sneaking into secret bunkers, but when things go south, get ready for total chaos! Each mission features different objectives and increasingly bizarre enemies, from zombies to Vril experiments. The cool part? Your heroes have unique abilities and special cards that can turn the tide when all seems lost. Just remember: noise attracts more Nazis, so think twice before going guns blazing. You can play standalone missions or an epic campaign where choices matter - leave someone behind, and it might haunt you later!
