Turning Point: Fall of Liberty

Post by [JiF]Rhykin »

This is another alternative history game similar to World in Conflict.
The premise is simple: in 1931 Winston Churchill was hit by a taxi, causing his lifelong limp (this actually happened, by the way). In Turning Point's alternate universe, Churchill actually died from this accident. Without such a charismatic leader, Europe fell completely to Nazi control. Which kind of sucks for everyone. So what's next in Nazi sights? Yep, you guessed it: the good ol' US of A.

The game is a FPS.

I agree with Step. But I just read that write up, and it sounds like this is far from a traditional WWII FPS. It does look interesting. . .

I love alternative history games like this. It's always interesting to see how things "would've" gone if something so simple changed.
