FURRY HITLER was largely a very emotional and striking game. I thought the story was compelling; an alternate telling of the events Hitler himself would’ve gone through. Seeing his dialogue was chilling, it reads JUST like his work in Mein Kampf. It makes one wonder just how much research the developers put into this game. What’s more gripping, beyond the privilege of a front-row seat to these historical events, is that you–the player–have a SAY in what goes on! Through all the turmoil and betrayal, the most difficult decisions are in your hands. It reminds me of this novel, “Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland” by Christopher R. Browning. Another influential work the developers most definitely kept by their nightstand and ruminated over for countless hours.

As much as I appreciate the amount of research and dedication the developers put into the story, my main issue stems from one major oversight. One of the girls, the redhead with a sizable bosom, was brandishing a Thompson sub machine gun. Why on Earth would somebody from the Third Reich own an American gun? How would they even have access to the .45 ACP ammo? Germans would’ve had 9 mm. You don’t need much beyond a surface level understanding of weaponry and history to understand this. This absolute blunder really turned me off, so to speak.

The ending did bring me to tears, and you can’t say that about many games these days, so for that I will have to recommend this. My grandfather was part of the war (dunno which side or which war) and I showed him this, he said it was largely accurate to his experience in war. I did ask him to elaborate on which war he fought in, but he then punched me in the solar plexus and I reeled over. He did concede that a German at that time would’ve NEVER wielded a Thompson. Seriously devs, what were you thinking?

9.2/10, change the gun and we’ve got ourselves a straight 10
