Operation Darkness is a turn-based tactical RPG developed for the Xbox 360 by Japanese studio Success and released in late 2007 in Japan and most of Southeast/East Asia. It was licensed to Atlus for its North American release in mid-2008. The game was released once again in 2010 in Xbox Live, which also included a Europe-wide release in the same year.A fairly standard take on the tried-and-true mashup of World War II and the occult, the game follows a squad of SAS soldiers - the Wolf Pack (Officially known to the Allied Military forces as K Company, 1st Platoon) - fighting the Nazis across the European Theater and eventually attempting to assassinate Adolf Hitler himself to win the war for the Allied cause. The so-called Wolf Pack's membership includes Edward and Jude, a pair of infantry soldiers reassigned after their last mission resulted in the death of their platoon; Cordelia, a firestarter; James Gallant, the leader (and a werewolf); Keith, the point man; Frank, a close-combat specialist; Cynthia, a top-heavy Irish sniper; Herbert East, a medic and the only character who can revive dead soldiers; and, um...Jack the Ripper. A descendant of Van Helsing joins in the fight as well as a reanimated dead German soldier in a Jin-Roh-like battle armor suit. Together, they take on the German military and its allies, the vampire legion known as the Blood Clan led by an officer named Alexander Vlado and his right hand woman Carmilla in order to prevent the entire world from being placed into total chaos.Generally very poorly received by critics, the game has nonetheless found its cult following worldwide, most of whom will admit that it has more than its share of flaws (The nearly complete lack of any kind of tutorial, there's very little explanation of the effective use of cover mechanics, the abounding Narm) (that the entire main cast is voiced by popular professional VA's helps too) but remains enjoyable nonetheless as a result of its handful of unique gameplay mechanics and its straight-faced treatment of its decidedly ridiculous and somewhat Troperiffic subject matter. | |

Early Game Hell | |
| Operation Darkness (Video Game) / int_1527d90d | comment |
Early Game Hell: Before the supernatural aspects of the Wolf Pack are revealed, you can't lose a single member during any of the battles, to say nothing of the fact that the game doesn't bother to ease the player into any of the mechanics. The game doesn't necessarily become easier afterwards, but Herbert's revive ability makes battles less overtly punishing. | |

Artistic License – History | |
| Operation Darkness (Video Game) / int_56515a39 | comment |
Artistic License – History: The SAS is stated to normally be based out of Hereford. In reality, the SAS wasn't based out of Hereford until 1960 (And were disbanded after the war then reformed before that happened) Cordelia is stated to have been with the British Army Special Forces since she was 13. The UK Special Forces was created in the 80's, and the British Commandos were formed in 1940 (Both are also part of all three branches of the armed forces). The game starts in 1942, meaning the oldest she could possibly be is 15. Cynthia was born in Northern Ireland, and mentions her family were killed in a terrorist attack when she was a child as part of The Troubles... which didn't start until about two decades after World War Two. There were two series of attacks before the Troubles, but they happened during the 1940's and 50's, and resulted in zero Northern Irish civilians being killed. | |

Stay in the Kitchen: Jude initially believes he's being demoted to a noncombatant role when he's put in the Wolf Pack due to Cordelia's inclusion among their ranks. Keith quickly puts him in his place regarding his sexism. It should be noted though that Jude's mindset wasn't exactly uncommon at the time. | |
