Features in the demo:

Added Value for Retail Version
This demo is unique in the sense that it is possible to copy this exclusive demo mission over to the final retail version of “Rush For Berlin” and use the advantages of the successful completion of this mission in the rest of the game. On completing the mission, the player will capture the famous “Maus-Panzer” (Mouse tank), the Germans' mightiest tank, allowing you to integrate it into your core army. This will prolong the German campaign, and provides new units as well as an extra time bonus.

Latest technology
The demo also features the latest version of the proven Gepard engine, which fully supports Pixel Shader 3.0. The 3D engine delivers amazing pictures and creates an enveloping cinematic feel.

Officers with skills
Rush for Berlin introduces heroic officers with a special skill system which is clearly shown in the demo. The officer unit is an important extra to the army and players will be rewarded for using these units. Officers can level up and use new skills to turn the tide of a battle. In addition to the “Volkssturm” officer and the “Tank Ace” officer, the player will also take control of the “Engineer” Officer. He can use the radio controlled “Goliath dwarf-tank” for example. All the vehicle and weapons prototypes in “Rush For Berlin” are depictions of actual prototypes that had been developed.

Demo Plot
The Player will play as a German force and face the advance of the Red Army in 1945 near Vienna at the strategic Kahlenberg Heights. The demo offers main, optional and secret objectives and offers, next to the officers, also panzers like the “Sturmtiger”, “Koenigstiger” and “Panther”. Also the player controls a factory and infantry units, also offering special skills.

About the Game
Top developer Stormregion is going one step further in this release. The 3D real-time strategy game Rush for Berlin depicts what might have happened if a new leadership had faced up to the advancing Allies and Russia, following Hitler's removal from power. What if they had deployed the already developed super weapons?

Your first aim is to win the race for Berlin in 1944 - 1945. Playing on the side of the Americans, will you succeed in hoisting the US flag on the “Reichstag” before the Red Army? Prepare yourself for a visually luxurious strategy hit that focuses on the enjoyment of the game: tactical WWII war gaming full of fresh ideas. Officers have special abilities and acquire new skills at every level. And the time factor will be introduced as a resource in a game for the first time.
