Ziggurat Announces DEADLY DOZEN RELOADED To Release 2022
Ziggurat Interactive has announced their reimagining of Deadly Dozen, the squad-based stealth game originally developed and released by N-Fusion Interactive in 2001. Deadly Dozen Reloaded will still be set in WWII where you will form teams of 4 from a roster of 12 characters to carry out special secret missions that only your elite team can do. Use the squad wheel to call out movement orders, fire orders, stance, and formation changes as you change which character you are in control of for devastating results.
The game will feature many updates that are sure to please fans. Level assets, textures and character models have been rebuilt from the ground up and real-time lighting, high-quality particle effects, and other environmental effects have been added to bring a sense of realism into the game. The PC version will support up to 4K resolution with no framerate limit, while consoles will run at 1080p and 30fps. Audio has been enhanced to include much higher fidelity samples, real-time audio effects such as reverb and occlusion, 3D surround sound, and support for 5.1 or more speaker configurations.
Still not convinced about getting this update? Check out these game play features that have been added:
Reimagined for the Modern Era: Graphics and audio aren’t the only things that have been updated. Enemy AI is now more sophisticated, making fights more engaging, and reworked vehicle physics make driving to objectives more fun and realistic.
10 Giant Missions: Large, faithfully recreated maps containing objectives that can be tackled in any order at the player’s discretion. Each mission will typically take over one hour to complete on normal difficulty.
Customizable Loadouts: Eleven different weapons — six American and five German — and seven types of equipment, including first aid kits, binoculars, and a variety of explosives, allow players to customize squad members to suit their play style and the mission at hand
No More Permadeath: Players can experience heart-pounding escapes with half of their team, and fallen squad-mates will recuperate for the next mission. No more reloading save files!
Deadly Dozen Reloaded sounds like a pretty incredible update to a classic game. While I’m not a personal fan of permadeath, I do hope that they allow players to turn it on and off for when they want that extra challenge. You can find this game on PC and consoles in Spring 2022.
