Freedom Force, released three years ago almost to the day, was a tactical strategy game involving superheroes. When “Energy X” canisters began falling on Patriot City, some of the city’s citizens used their newfound powers to do good -- and shortly formed the Freedom Force -- while others turned into villains and decided to rob banks and cause general mayhem. One villain, called Time Master, took it upon himself to try and stop time, and Freedom Force’s campaign ended when he was defeated.
Freedom Force vs. the 3rd Reich picks up where Freedom Force left off. Things are quiet around Patriot City, but then one of the villains from the first game, Nuclear Winter, escapes from prison and takes Time Master with him. Soon, Time Master’s powers are being used for nefarious purposes, and, quicker than you can say “we’ve got jerries to jumble,” Freedom Force finds itself in an alternate universe where the Nazis have won World War II and now control the world. The campaign in Freedom Force vs. the 3rd Reich involves Freedom Force’s efforts to stop Blitzkrieg, the evil mastermind behind the Nazi resurgence, and to put the world back where it should be.
