    Really good game. Good graphic, 21 single missions, 7 on each side : allied, german and soviet. And a skirmish mode. ++ Multiplayer good but not enough maps maybe. For the little price (37.50$ cad) its a really good choice

    Amazing gaming experience. Love new engine. The new team captured the fantastic atmosphere of first two games. Must buy, I would not play it with a controller on PC or PS4 but on it is a gem. Who ever says that it lacks real time game play - their ton of game with real time gameplay. Sudden Strike 4 is a tactical game, and I hope developers keep it that way. I will buy every expansion andAmazing gaming experience. Love new engine. The new team captured the fantastic atmosphere of first two games.

Sudden Strike 4 is a tactical game, and I hope developers keep it that way. I will buy every expansion and every DLC for this game. Thank you for making it. I purchased it on GOG. Must buy for sure for any tactical WW2 fan, people who like Halo Wars should skip that one. Expand

    With every update the game gets refined into the direction the players want, one of the top RTS games out there for year 2017! I suggest this game for all ww2 rts fans.

    Глубокий тактический геймплей, отлично спланированные миссии, приятная картинка, хороший звук и озвучка делают Sudden Strike 4 лучшей RTS последних лет.
    Dawn of War III и Блицкриг 3 позорные поделки на фоне SS4.

    For the complete edition:
    Great game if you're into tactical RTS. No need to click like crazy, just press "pause" and give any orders you like to your troops. Lots of missions and DLCs, and every mission can be played in 3 ways, depending on the doctrine you choose. 2 levels of difficulty, several factions, very smooth performance even on slightly weaker machines, nice graphical details.

Sometimes it is just too close to the battlefield or doesn't allow you to look at tanks and soldiers closer, also the angle is fixed. Overall, still good old Sudden Strike, just with better graphics and smooth game play. Highly recommended for II WW and RTS fans!

    It's an honestly really good rts in a franchise that's really quite influencial. It's combat is like a more destructive and detailed version of command and conquer.

    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]
