Operation Darkness blends X-COM-style tactics with a fantastical WWII featuring werewolves and vampires. The idea is genuinely original, but the execution puts you off with stiffness and poor visuals. A niche tactical curiosity.

Operation Darkness (Xbox 360) price, value & rarity
Japanese edition of Atlus' Operation Darkness, an X-COM-style tactical set in a fantastical World War II peopled with werewolves and vampires. Its original concept but rigid execution make it a tactical curiosity sought by fans of atypical Atlus games. The Japanese version, ahead of the Western release, draws collectors after the regional starting point of this obscure title.
