The Saboteur vs Velvet Assassin

Set in a stylized 1940s France under Nazi occupation, The Saboteur puts you in the shoes of Sean Devlin, an Irish mechanic turned resistance fighter. Use a mix of stealth, combat, and vehicular chaos to dismantle the enemy from the shadows and the streets alike. The game blends shooter mechanics with RPG progression, offering a sandbox world to explore, sabotage, and dominate. With the help of the French Resistance and British intelligence, you’ll blow up zeppelins, derail trains, and bring the occupiers to their knees.

Step into the shoes of Violette Summer, a World War II spy inspired by the real Violette Szabo, and infiltrate enemy territory with nothing but your wits and a hidden blade. The game blends intense third‑person stealth action with surreal fever‑dream sequences, letting you silently eliminate foes, disarm grenades, and slip cyanide to your own men in a Gestapo prison. The experience is driven by a groundbreaking real‑time lighting system that creates dramatic shadows and atmospheric visuals, immersing you in a historically grounded yet hauntingly stylized wartime setting. Play solo on PC, Mac, or Xbox 360 and uncover the dark secrets of occupied Europe.
