The date is Monday, April 16, 1945. Less than forty miles from the Führerbunker of supreme warlord Adolf Hitler, the horizon is lit with an awesome display as thousands of Russian guns begin the barrage that signals the final assault on the Thousand Year Reich.
Forty-five miles to the west, advanced units of the U.S. Ninth Army are turned back by political orders to allow the German capitol to fall into Stalin's hands. In two weeks Hitler would be dead; in three, the Reich would surrender.
GöTTERDäMMERUNG: TWILIGHT OF THE GODS is a game that tells the story of those last three climactic weeks of World War II in Europe - the furious defense of Berlin as Adolf Hitler commanded his troops from his last refuge - the Führerbunker in Berlin.
GöTTERDäMMERUNG: TWILIGHT OF THE GODS is a unique game that depicts the entire operational Battle of Berlin and ends in the city streets with the capture of the Führerbunker.
