Rush for Berlin is a real-time tactics game set in World War II. In the contest for the German capital Berlin, the player must fight with the American, British, French, and Soviet armies. As the players approach Berlin, they must face more and more challenges, as German defence becomes more focused and stubborn. The German campaign must be unlocked by beating either the Soviet campaign or the Anglo-American Alliance (USA and UK) campaign. It follows an alternate storyline in which Hitler survives the bomb plot of 1944 but Germany gives up its Nazi ideologies due to the fact that Hitler has become mentally unstable and instead tries to end the war with a noble and more dignifying peace. Or, if the player's counterattack successfully manages to kill Stalin using a Kamikaize V-1, the player can start Operation Sealion II with the death of Winston Churchill using jet powered bombers as well as a massive invasion supported by the Bismark II and a German Aircraft Carrier. The German faction can also unleash an atomic bomb on Washington, D.C. after the death of president Roosevelt. The German arsenal includes Panzer X tanks, V-3 Rockets, and Super Soldiers that can literally deflect bullets. The Free French is an unlockable, albeit difficult faction to play with as their powerful units are small in size and take a long time to replenish. The game uses officers that have special abilities that help the player. All units have special abilities such as faster reload time for snipers or tank barriers for bazooka men and panzerfaust soldiers.
