"Brasch Tactics - Know your Stratagems!"

Real Helldivers need to get their fingers warmed up and ready to go before dropping. Those Hellbombs won't call themselves in!


Key in the input codes for each Stratagem as fast as you can without the impending dread (and death) that comes with doing it out in the field. Feel the pressure of a missed input resetting the code entirely - like having a Terminid nip at your heels, or an Automaton rip your leg off because you fumbled that last input.
Bump up the difficulty to Hard if you're feeling confident; limiting you to three mistakes.

Install instructions

Extract files from the zip and launch "Pocket_Stratagem.exe" to play.

Common issue(s):
Windows may flag the application as untrusted and prevent it from running. Should this happen, click 'More info' and then a 'Run anyway' button should appear.

This occurs as Windows flags unknown executable files as potentially problematic and intervenes. Some anti-virus software may also flag the executable and quarantine it. This is a common issue with games and applications designed with GMS2.
