![]() Still, trying to outwit the enemy to preserve as many of my men as possible became my overarching goal - think of Captain Miller's existential crisis in Saving Private Ryan. The enemy can be absolutely exploited if the player is patient and clever enough. It will crush you if you are careless, but it doesn't have the complexity of human opponent. My one complaint would be a the relatively simple AI. ![]() The controls are intuitively streamlined and easy to pick up and I have yet to experience any slowdown in frame-rate or crashing even at the height of pitched battles. The gameplay is as solid as any RTS I remember, and this game is certainly the best entry in the Sudden Strike franchise, despite it being developed by a new publisher. The units, and there are many, are accurately detailed and lovingly rendered, and they sure blow up nice. The enemy can be confronted with a variety of tactics - every one of your units, no matter how small, can play a crucial part in achieving victory over the enemy. It's a game that seems deceptively simple to play, but draws you into deeper layers of strategy with each mission, each objective. As it happens, Sudden Strike 4 was the first game (other than Halo Wars) that fit the bill and, boy, does it hit the spot. As it With a dearth of RTS games on xbox one, I'd of picked up anything in the genre at this point to remind me of my PC gaming days of yore. With a dearth of RTS games on xbox one, I'd of picked up anything in the genre at this point to remind me of my PC gaming days of yore. At the end of the day I can now see why the Sudden Strike series has the following it does because in terms of strategy game’s it’s probably one of the most enjoyable I’ve ever played and if you only have a slight interest in this particular genre then I fully recommend that you give this game a try. When it comes to both the visuals and sound design they’ve managed to create and capture the war them extremely well and this without a doubt enhances the gameplay quite considerably. Something that really impressed me about this game was its presentation and I must admit I wasn’t expecting this side of the game to be as good as it was. The controls also remain tight and responsive throughout your time with the game but I would’ve liked them to have made them less awkward when trying to control certain aspects of your army because controlling them can be a little frustrating from time to time. Technichally the game holds up really well throughout your time with the game and there isn’t really any problems to speak of. The main reason why I would like more maps is because the ones that are included are brilliant and packed full of variety and charm and a few more would give the game even more in terms of replayability. Whilst the game has quite a lot of content I still would’ve liked a few more maps though. Getting addicted to the gameplay isn’t a bad thing either because in terms of content the game has more than enough to keep you satisfied for quite a while. Each mission has a great deal of variety included in them and when you combine that with the very good storyline elements you end up getting quite addicted to the gameplay. This however is only a small gripe and I was able to look past this quite easily thanks to the excellent missions that are present in the game. There isn’t much I would change when it comes to the tactical and strategy side of the game but I would however have liked it to have been a little more realistic because at times the lack of realism can harm the immersion levels a little. The strategy elements in the game work flawlessly for the most part and when you combine that with the excellent tactical side of the game you end up having quite a lot of fun and exciting battles. At its core this game is all about strategy and thankfully they’ve done a very good job here. Thankfully though I now can play a game in the series in the form of Sudden Strike 4: European Battlefields Edition and I can now see why I heard so many good things about the series. I haven’t played any Sudden Strike game’s before and that’s a shame because I’ve heard lots of good things about the series overall.
