In the middle of UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, three Allied agents - British Special Operations Executive (SOE) operative Abrose Taggert, American Office of Strategic Services (OSS) officer Calvin Blackbull and German Wehrmacht officer William Ross (which the players can select in-between missions) are sent to investigate a Nazi Project, codenamed Götterdämmerung, in a series of missions spanning from Libya to the Alps to Berlin. After rescuing a captive Danish scientist, they uncover the nefarious plans from a Nazi InsaneAdmiral which could kill ''millions''.

''Hour of Victory'' is a FirstPersonShooter published by Creator/MidwayGames for Microsoft Windows and UsefulNotes/Xbox360 in 2007, notably the first WWII-era game to use the [[VideoGame/{{Unreal}} Unreal Engine]] at the time.

After rescuing a captive Danish scientist, they uncover the nefarious plans from a Nazi InsaneAdmiral which could kill ''millions''.
The game features single-player and multiplayer modes. In single-player mode, players complete missions across various European locations, while multiplayer mode allows players to compete against each other in several different game types.
----
!! The three of you have been chosen for this mission, not because you represent the best of the Allied Forces, but you ''are'' the best.
* AbsurdlySpaciousSewer: There's one underneath Castle Festunburg where you'll need to cross, in order to infiltrate the laboratorites where Dr. Fielder is held. It's filled with German patrols you'll need to battle.
* AntiAir: The Al-Shatar stage that begins the game ends with the commando currently in selection commandeering a set of flak cannons and using it to gun down a wave of German bombers targeting three Allied communications towers.
* AssistCharacter:
** Dr. Fielder can kick ass pretty nicely on his own during the mission where you break him out of Castle Festunburg in the Alps, helping you take on enemies using a pistol.
** Your British and Russian Allies in a number of missions with large-scale battles against the Nazi also counts.
* BalanceSpeedStrengthTrio: The three commandoes:
** '''Balance''': Taggert, the JackOfAllStats covert soldier whose stats are a balance between his fellow commandoes;
** '''Speed''': Bull, the sniper specializing in stealth and effortlessly jumps between rooftops and guard towers to gain a vantage point;
** '''Strength''': Ross, the SAS commando capable of taking far more damage and survive longest in a firefight, besides lifting or moving objects his squadmates couldn't.
* BaldOfEvil: Colonel Steckler doesn't have a single hair on his head, his chrome dome in full view as you chase him down in the final stage. It pretty much screams "Look at me, I'm a Nazi MadScientist!" from a mile away.
* BattleAmongstTheFlames: The final stage, where the commandoes takes on Steckler and the remaining Germans in a massive shootout inside the burning remains of Berlin University.
* BigBad: Colonel Steckler, the Nazi InsaneAdmiral behind Project Götterdämmerung to wipe out entire populations and turn countries into nuclear wastelands in the subsequent meltdown.
* BigFancyCastle: Castle Festunburg, where above it's basement where superweapons are being developed by kidnapped Allied scientists, the above levels are lavishly decorated with lavish tapestries, exquisite artworks, velvet carpets, and the like. There's even a shootout where you mount a heavy machine gun behind an ornate balustrade and blow away Germans trying to climb upstairs.
* CableCarActionSequence: "Breakout", the stage where the player's commandoes escapes Castle Festunburg via cable cars, have a shootout between their current gondolas against incoming gondolas full of enemy troopes.
* GatlingGood: Capturing machine-gun nests allows the commandoes to blast enemies non-stop, in areas where Germans will swarm at them from every direction. The downside is that they're unable to take cover from attacks when in control of heavy machine-guns.
* IHaveYourWife: Dr. Fielder, an innocent Danish scientist, was forced into developing Project Götterdämmerung for Colonel Steckler because the Nazi have his family captive.
* MasterOfUnlocking: Major Taggert can expertly pick locks, and players using him in assignments can take a shortcut with his skills.
* NoRangeLikePointBlankRange: The final stage have Allied troops swarming Berlin only be to gunned down along the way, with a Nazi sergeant firing his pistol into a British soldier's temple from up close. Including a shot of said soldier's helmet flying.
* TheSiege: The very first stage in Al-Shatar, "Barbarians at the Gate", begins with the heroes fending off a German siege in an Allied outpost somewhere in Casablanca. Right up to controlling turrets to prevent German bombers from destroying three Allied Communications Towers.
* SnipingMission: A few missions in-between gameplay have the commando being assigned to snipe down German guards before they can proceed, especially if said mission features Lieutenant Calvin Blackbull, the team's main sniper.
* TankGoodness: A few missions have Panzer Tanks as enemies, where the commandoes need to obtain Panzerfausts to blow them up. They can hijack another Panzer of their own in order to escape Castle Festunburg (and blow up plenty of enemy buildings), as well as having a Russian T-34 tank assist them in the Berlin stage.
