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.
It has simply been done too many times before, and the game seems content to be a comfortable -- in both a good and not-so-great way -- and immediately recognizable experience. Easy for me to say. I'm not sure how to make the storming of Normandy or the frigid Russian winters surprising again, especially in an RTS where the human drama takes a back seat to pushing around little units to solve tactical puzzles. For console gamers less affected by ennui, Sudden Strike 4 is approachable and not terribly obtuse and provides something that PC players have come to take for granted: a great looking, fun-to-play, well-made strategy game about one of history's most turbulent and strategically interesting periods.

Oyun türü nedeniyle grafik yönünden fazla eskimemiş. Oynanış olarak oyun hızını ayarlayamamak çok can sıkıcı oluyor. Menüde çalan müzik güzel. Genel olarak keyifliydi , bir göz atabilirsiniz.

Most idiot and stupid game ever made never played any game with so much stupidity and lack of realism this it's the only game were the tanks wich in reality could fire from many km away in this game could only fire and see the enemy from 10 m or 5m :))) A really 0 game don't belive good reviews!!

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. It's realism is fun enough to keep you on your toes (eg a tank may run out of fuel but you can refill form a special vehicle).Using the infantry is the most fun because you can stealth your way to victory, the vehicles are a bit ß#&# and who even knows about the artillery. Overall the game is very good and the environment is fully destructable.

As my first entry into the series, Sudden Strike 4 is one of those RTS games that I'll actually remember a year from now. One where I'll be sitting there and go, "Jeeze, I think it's about time to play it again." I'm halfway tempted to go back and check out the older games, but Sudden Strike 4's campaign is just something sublime that I'm going to be revisiting frequently when I get the RTS itch. The shame is that I didn't enjoy the multiplayer as much as the single-player, as while the gameplay mechanics stay intact it loses a lot of that luster. A final note: the campaign, being only 21 missions along with the less enjoyable multiplayer, may not be enough for many people to pay out the $49.99 price tag. It's a bit steep, but I still say it's a must play for any RTS fan.

Sudden Strike 4 proves that old-school real-time strategy games are not dead. The game may look like it came from the mid 2000s, but that's what makes it so appealing.

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 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.

Sudden Strike 4 has become a solid RTS, which seems to shine with tactical depth for quite a while.

Solid WWII strategy with pathfinding problems, lack of multiplayer content and brash presentation.

Sudden Strike 4 is a good tactical game limited by its AI and multiplayer.

Time and multiplayer statistics prove that Company of Heroes 2 is still the best WWII-themed RTS. Unfortunately, Sudden Strike 4 is too weak to dethrone it.

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]

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

Whilst not the best of the series, it's still a huge improvement over the last (sudden strike 3). The graphics are beautiful (although the zooming is rather limited) and the effects are good too. The sound and music are very well implemented into the game and work quite nicely together. (the voice acting could have been more realistic tbh, but that is just my opinion) 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.

Крошечные карты, дальность обзора - метров 15. Серьезно, 4 корпуса танка радиус обзора. Я манал, там есть невидимый туман, сквозь который ничего не видно, но его забыли отобразить? Или там бои в параллельной вселенной, где у всех сильнейшая близорукость и катаракта, а оптику не изобрели? Впечатление полностью убивает, серьезно. Я не смог играть, ну бредятина полнейшая. Есть стратегии на порядки лучше. И не только Саден Страйк 1-2. Хотите поиграть в нормальную стратегию - Варгейм серия, вот там тебе танки на полтора километра стреляют, и обзор нормальный, и карты сами не с дачу размером. А вот это - не советую, максимально кринжовая хрень, война кротов какая-то, вплотную сстреляются несколько танков и противотанковая артиллерия. Метров с 12-15 стреляются. Я манал.

As SS2 was one of my favourite game back in the days, I really looked forward to this version. However, I must say I'm dissapointed. The graphics and setting are good, but the gameplay... Slow and, to be honest, boring. I understand that SS4 is targeted towards casual gamers, but this is over the top - absolutely no micro is needed and the strategic depth is laughable. Multiplayer hasn't much to offer (beacause of the lack of complexity), yet the campaign is well-made and actually quite enjoyable if you don't look for challenging gameplay.
