    Whilst not the best of the series, it's still a huge improvement over the last (sudden strike 3).

    The campaigns (3 in total) are good fun, although not that difficult or super interesting within Sudden Strike 4 to be honest and i feel that they could have done better although it still is fun to play.
    The Skirmish aspect is very limited and unbalance at this time which is a shame really because i personally love playing skirmishes against a good balanced AI. (there are also too few missions available impo)
    The overall AI is not too bright either in the single player campaigns which also limits my personal joy and amusement by quite a bit (until patched/improved)..
    The multiplayer aspect is currently the worst factor by far, but given the fact that the devs clearly have stated it's not their main concern, i will allow them some time to look it over and reconsider if they would fix/improve it with the upcoming patches and dlcs..
    The use of a controller would have been great if the bugs would have been fixed by the time of my writing, but sadly it's still work in progress.. I think they might have been better of sticking to mouse and keyboard, but it should work for me when it's optimized at least..
    Overall an enjoying game with nice graphics, sounds and plenty of missions.
    The price is debatable and i would say buy it, try it or refund it if you need to.
    One more thing, i'll also advice to consider getting it with a discount or sales because 50$ on Steam is a bit too much in my personal opinion.
    I'm rating it a solid 75/100.

    К сожалению, долгие ожидания продолжения некогда знаменитой серии стратегий, обернулись провалом. Игра имеет очень мало контента, всего 21 миссия, большая часть которых сделаны очень халтурно и проходятся за 10-15 минут. Управление юнитов имеет очень спорные основы, порой они вас просто не слушаются и не хотят делать то, что вы хотите. Мультиплеер же и вовсе был забыт разработчиками,К сожалению, долгие ожидания продолжения некогда знаменитой серии стратегий, обернулись провалом. Игра имеет очень мало контента, всего 21 миссия, большая часть которых сделаны очень халтурно и проходятся за 10-15 минут. Управление юнитов имеет очень спорные основы, порой они вас просто не слушаются и не хотят делать то, что вы хотите. Мультиплеер же и вовсе был забыт разработчиками, так-как там всего 4 не особо интересных карты, которые делал явно человек, не особо парившийся над своей работой. А уж геймплей там и вовсе вызывает уныние, вы захватывайте точку и начинаете клепать танки, что есть силы. Система генералов представляет из себя 3-х генералов - пехоты, танков и артиллерии, которые одинаковы у каждой стороны и при их прокачке по ходу прохождения компании, они позволяют вам чуток повысить ттх ваших юнитов. Единственное, что привлекает в этой игре - её арт дизайн, но к сожалению, военная стратегия, в которой единственным плюсом является графика, не может быть хорошей. Разумеется разработчики выпустили редактор, как отдельное приложение, но знаете ли, достойна ли покупки игра, в которой сторонним людям придется доделывать работу за разработчиков? Я думаю ответ очевиден.... Expand

    Alongside old-school features that strategy aficionados were looking forward to, Sudden Strike reanimates some technical atavisms best left forgotten, with interface being the biggest offender. [Issue#223, p.52]

    A flat and not very interesting trip to World War II can catch your eye mostly because of its nice visuals. It may be enough for newcomers, but veterans of the genre have to find a new favorite elsewhere.

    A quirky, not very interesting trip to World War II excels only with its very solid visuals. It may be enough for newcomers, but veterans of the genre must find a new favorite elsewhere. [Issue#278]
