Hello there, Xbox wargamers!
This is Oleksandr Sienin, I am the COO and developer from Starni Games. Today I wanted to bring to your attention Strategic Mind: Spectre of Communism, which is the third installment of Strategic Mind series coming to Xbox One with Xbox Series X|S compatibility.
The first installment Strategic Mind: The Pacific, about the fight between the USA and the Empire of Japan, was brought to Xbox One by our porting partner and publisher Klabater, on June 26th, 2022. The second, Strategic Mind: Fight for Freedom, showing World War II from the Allies’ perspective, came to Xbox on September 22nd, 2022.
And this time, we’re coming to you with Spectre of Communism – the Cold War played from the Soviets’ perspective. Read more and dive with me into the world of political intrigue and experience the tension of the Cold War era.
What is Strategic Mind: Spectre of Communism about?
The game tells an alternate story of the Red Army after World War II. You take on the role of a commander leading your nation through the challenges of the Cold War.
The game features a deep, immersive storyline that will allow you to explore the struggles of the time and the spectre of communism that hung over the world. With engaging gameplay mechanics, 3d graphics, and a rich, detailed world, Strategic Mind: Spectre of Communism offers long hours of intense brain challenge and tons of fun.
Is your mind strategic? Let’s see about that.
The strategy is the Strongest Point of the Game
The Soviets had a simple strategy for World War II and the Cold War – to throw so many people at their enemies that the enemies will run out of ammo.
This will not work for the game. If you are in love with strategies, you’ll enjoy a wide array of tactical possibilities to overcome your foes in Strategic Mind: Spectre of Communism.
The Spectre of Communism haunted the world. You will haunt your adversaries.
The elements that come into play are:
- Different types of units – you have tanks, artillery, infantry, aircraft, and many more, each with its strengths and weaknesses,
- The development of the units – choose your go-to formation and maximize it, or spread the development to have a more balanced setup,
- The terrain – you may use it for your protection or get a higher ground,
- The movement of the units – moving your units together in a way they can protect each other is crucial,
- The planning – while moving units around you need to keep an eye on the chain of supplies.
There are endless combinations of approaching each stage. Changing one variable can mean the difference between winning and losing a battle and ultimately the whole round.
Also, what’s interesting, the progression is historically accurate, which means you are able to unlock a certain type of unit no sooner than the moment it was introduced in history.
It takes some time to get a grasp of understanding of the game, and it may become challenging, but after all – it’s the challenge what it’s all about, right? What’s worth having, never comes easily. If you truly are a strategic mind, you’ll feel comfortable moving around the Soviet Union in no time.
You will be able to experience all the thrills of this classic political thriller from the comfort of your home. If you have not played any of the Strategic Mind series yet, we hope this installment, and its 10% discounted Pre-order offer, will encourage you to discover the rich storytelling, challenging gameplay, extensive cutscenes, and expanded strategic possibilities of the Strategic Mind: Spectre of Communism or the other WWII campaigns of Strategic Mind.

The game has many historical operations and events but also features a number of alternate history moments. It is created with great care and attention to historical details by a team which is passionate about WW2 history. Watching cinematics before and after every operation you can almost feel that you are indeed a participant of the unfolding epochal events. Moreover, numerous primary and secondary objectives allow you to explore every battle in detail. The gameplay is plot-driven and features many historical personalities such as Joseph Stalin, Georgy Zhukov, Vyacheslav Molotov, Kliment Voroshilov, Lavrentiy Beria, Aleksandr Vasilevsky, Konstantin Rokossovsky and others.
Strategic Mind: Spectre of Communism is the third installment in the Strategic Mind line of games. The first one – “Strategic Mind: The Pacific” – was about naval warfare during the Pacific War, while the second one – “Strategic Mind: Blitzkrieg” – was telling the story of the European theater from the German perspective. It is high time “Strategic Mind: Spectre of Communism” tells the USSR story in WW2, a story filled with valiant hearts and vile betrayals. As a part of the Strategic Mind franchise, it will retain many features of the series along with adding new content and features to the existing variety.
