With Finland outnumbered and outgunned, the defeat seems inevitable. Yet there is more to this war than rifles and artillery - there is the fighting spirit of those who know they are defending their homeland. It is up to the player’s shrewd tactics to preserve that spirit and save Finland.

The core gameplay of Strategic Mind: Spirit of Liberty will feel familiar for the fans of wargames like Panzer General. At the same time, it brings a lot of novelty into the genre, as well as lots of narrative that will make you feel like a participant of the great events of the past. 

Lead the scarce Finnish forces through the Winter War, Continuation War, and Lapland War. Save your country’s very existence from the Red Menace. Niet Molotoff!

“We are happy to announce our next project within the Strategic Mind Franchise, under the name “Spirit of Liberty”. It is a very symbolic name, and it best describes what the Finns had to go through during WW2. We hope that we will be able to deliver the story that will be a worthy tribute to the heroes of the past.” - says Ihor Tymoshenko, the CEO of Starni Games. Ihor also tells a bit more about the work on key art: “When choosing the key art composition, we wanted to translate the atmosphere of the destroyed town that still fights back. To show the disparity between the opposing forces, and at the same time the heroic struggle of the Finnish soldiers ready to keep fighting for their homeland no matter what.” 

Key Features:

• Two campaigns:
  • Historical campaign: Play through a number of missions throughout the 1939-1945 timeline, spanning three wars: Winter War, Continuation War, and Lapland War. The historical campaign will have smaller-scale but action-packed operations, covering all of the iconic historical battles.
  • Alternate history campaign: Play a shorter campaign with larger operations, centered around the “what if” events. Help the Germans take Leningrad, cut off the allied aid shipments to USSR by taking the port of Murmansk - that is only the beginning.
• Plot-driven gameplay: history based narrative recreates the atmosphere of war for survival.
• Advanced combat tactics: use terrain and positioning, learn skills and choose equipment for every unit to overcome your enemies.
• Through the key characters' eyes: watch over 60 minutes of battles and interaction between historical figures such as Baron Carl Mannerheim, Finland’s President Risto Ryti, and others.
• Fight in three wars seldom seen in media: the Winter War, the Continuation War, and the Lapland War.
