However, the tactical element plays very well in conjunction with the different map layouts. Aside from the actual battles in which you play on each of the campaigns, there isn’t really much variety in terms of new things to experience throughout the game. The base game comes with three different campaigns (German, Soviet, and Allied), which you can play in any order you like, but it also offers online PvP, AI skirmishes, as well as Steam Workshop support, which lets you play player made missions.
From short briefing sessions, and recounts of the events that led to the battles that you’re about to take part in, to your general’s journal notes at the end of each skirmish, there is a remarkable amount of effort put into providing a solid historical background for those that might not be familiar with the peculiarities of each conflict, as well as those that are into the history of the Second World War. While the narrative is clearly not the focus of Sudden Strike 4, there are a few elements of storytelling between missions. World War history is something that you either find boring or very interesting, and having found myself in the latter group, I was surprised to see that the game provides a surprising amount of historical background for each of the missions. Here you’ll be playing throughout various different scenarios from all across the Great War, from the initial German invasions of Poland, France, and the Soviet Union, to the counter-offensives against Germans, and the eventual downfall of Berlin. Sudden Strike 4 is yet another game that provides its own take on the Second World War conflict. With that said, I guess that this is where my interests align with Sudden Strike 4, as both it and turn-based strategy games are highly tactical. I used to be a huge fan of it, during the Westwood era, but in recent years I’ve moved towards turn-based games. In any case, I must admit that real-time strategy is a genre which I don’t delve into really that often. If you were hoping to find some sort of comparison between this and the old titles, unfortunately, I won’t be able to provide that to you, at least not today. Very much like games such as Blitzkrieg 3 and the Men of War series, Sudden Strike 4, just like its predecessors, focuses on delivering a solid calculated military experience, by focusing on the unique features of each unit, rather than base building or building up a massive army.įirst of all, I must say that I have never played the other Sudden Strike 4 games, so please bear that in mind. Sudden Strike 4 is the latest installment in the tactical Second World War real-time strategy series.
