We really hope that you guys will like the project and support it. https://steamcommunity.com/games/1381850/announcements/detail/3059604354539711195 [h1]21 April | Strategic Mind: Fight for Freedom Story Trailer and release date[/h1] In April we have finally set the exact release date for Strategic Mind: Fight for Freedom and shared a Story trailer for the upcoming release.

We can only hope and work very hard to make sure that the Spirit of Liberty would be able to set the bar even higher. [h1]8 July | Strategic Mind: Spirit of Liberty - Prologue 1939 Store Page is Open![/h1] We have decided to experiment a bit and release a free Prologue app this time that will have several operations from the upcoming Strategic Mind: Spirit of Liberty for everyone to explore for free.

Here is our report from the conference: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1381850/view/2999942440533300991 [h1]31 August | Strategic Mind series on Gamescom[/h1] Due to the pandemics, many big gaming events moved online and it allowed us to participate in this year’s Gamescom, even if only online.

Check out the trailer if you have not seen it yet: [previewyoutube=1-hj1I5Gh-Q;full][/previewyoutube] [h1]29 November | SM: Fight for Freedom won the 'Best Strategy Game' award at Chainsaw Festival 2021[/h1] This award came to us as a pleasant surprise - we often participate in various events and competitions to showcase the game and are used to keep our expectations low, as our games are very niche and hardcore - so they rarely get lots of attention, as experts usually say something like “well, seems like a really cool game, but not something I would play after I have put in a hard day’s work”.
