    Top down RTS World War II game. Campaigns from the perspective of the Nazi's, the allies and the Russians. Very cool! A shame the game doesn't shine so bright at the Playstation 4 though.

    In its concept the game is very appealling. RTS game about some famous battles in the second world war, which is interesting. However, quickly after starting up the game i noticed some flaws with the    Top down RTS World War II game. Campaigns from the perspective of the Nazi's, the allies and the Russians. Very cool!

    In its concept the game is very appealling. RTS game about some famous battles in the second world war, which is interesting. However, quickly after starting up the game i noticed some flaws with the game. The camera itself can't rotate, which limits your perspective. Selecting units is an exercise in frustration as you can't click and drag your cursor, but instead you have to use a very unstable circle selector. You can't click on the mini map to quickly switch to another region on the map, and the screen only moves slowly if you do it with the regular controls. This has already led to quite some frustration in the first 2 hours of playing. I hope this is better on the PC version.

    Apart from that, the game is a lot of fun. Seeing shells bounce of tank destroyers gives you that extra feeling of excitement, and the AI puts up a good fight. It is a good game, i give it a 7/10.    … Expand

    The only and the biggest issue is that u can't make new troops during the game. U play with what the game has plus some reinforces during the game. Nice graphics, nice music but it really sucks when u can't make new troops. The game has zero replay value since u start with the same units and the enemies are at the same spot.

    Grafica e audio gli unici pregi. Occasione mancata per il fatto dei pochi titoli del genere su console. Assurdo metodo di selezione truppe, prededinite ad inizio missione e nel numero bassissimo, che non rispondono ai comandi o eseguono percorsi strani. Nemici che ingaggiano sempre fuori dal proprio campo visivo, unità di fanteria irriconoscibili sul campo, zoom inutile, mappe piccole,Grafica e audio gli unici pregi.

    This is a great comeback for the series, that delivers a good strategy game together with an excellent setting.

    What's here is mostly enjoyable. [Oct 2017, p.87]

    Fans of the WWII era or the RTS genre — or both — will get the most out of Sudden Strike 4. It is a high-quality product in terms of graphics and immersion, and the title provides a great experience full of tense and satisfying moments. There's a lengthy campaign that'll take more than a dozen hours to get through, and multiplayer and skirmish modes offer endless playability. The multiplayer portion requires planning ahead with friends or joining the small online community. Gamers who are on board with all of that will be fine with buying the title now, but others may want to wait until the price drops a bit.
