Übersoldier is a first person shooter that was developed in 2006 by the Russian company Burut and distributed worldwide by CDV Software Entertainment .
action
Nazi scientists have found that shortly before they die, people develop an incredible power again. With the help of mysterious technologies, they have now succeeded in bringing dead soldiers back to life. These "oversoldiers" created in this way are human fighting machines. They are absolutely obedient because they unconditionally obey whoever speaks to them first when they are awakened.
You slip into the role of the German soldier Karl Stoltz, who was shot at the front in 1944 and has now been awakened. When he wakes up, however, the first person he sees is a resistance fighter who has broken into the facility. Stoltz is able to escape and now fights for his survival on the side of the resistance as a renegade oversoldier.
German version
Since the game was being marketed internationally by the German company CDV Software Entertainment, all National Socialist symbols had to disappear from the game. The swastikas on armbands and flags have been replaced by iron crosses or black crosses (as badges of sovereignty ) and they have been completely removed from the uniforms of imperial eagles. In addition, the German version was censored in some places to prevent indexing. Blood effects, death screams and some ragdoll effects have been removed.
The international version, which was briefly available in Germany, was indexed in July 2006.
background
- The game is based heavily on id Software's first- person shooter Return to Castle Wolfenstein , in which cyborgs created by German scientists , called "oversoldiers", play an important role. The word "Ubersoldier" itself appeared there for the first time.
- The film Universal Soldier seems to have provided further inspiration for the story , which already had the principle of the serially resurrected "super soldiers" as main content. However, the converted soldier is American in this case and the film is set in the future.
- The theme song Save Me was recorded especially for the game by Martin Kesici and his group "eMKay".
- Due to the lack of the "ü" in the English language, the game runs under the name Ubersoldier in English-speaking countries .
- The successor Ubersoldier 2 (in the original: End of Hitler and Crimes of War ) was developed by Burut, but published by City Interactive . The second part is quite unknown and received mostly bad reviews. Übersoldier 2 was indexed.
