At launch I was optimistic, but now after like 6 months i have seen so little progress its insane. Yes they fixed bugs and added a co-op campaign but remember that is supposed to be 6 months worth of progress!? No new content for skirmish and no I am not buying a 15 euro expansion cause it should be an update.
I've been playing these games since Sudden Strike 1 in the year 2000. What made then enjoyable was the fact the missions were slow. You'd have to be careful with your vehicles and troops and use them in the right way. Missions could take hours. Sudden Strike 1 and 2 followed this formula and were very enjoyable immersive games. Sadly however, Sudden Strike 3 and 4 were less about tactical gameplay as you could often throw everything at the enemy and win, less brain power needed in short. I'm very pleased to say however that Sudden Strike 5 is the best in the series for nearly a quarter of a century. It's slow, like the first two games and requires patience and tactical nuance. I'm thoroughly enjoying the missions and hope the developers will keep making new games like this one. I would love a DLC were you can play as the British separately and more Barbarossa missions. Sudden Strike Forever!
Sudden Strike was my late father's favourite game. I found out this game was out by accident, and had to get it in his memory, and for old times' sake when we used to play 1v1. My gaming days are well behind me, but I had to give this classic one final goodbye. The gameplay feels very close to the original, with noticeable improvements to reinforcements that make it a bit more forgiving. Still a difficult game, and I'm so grateful this classic survives. Anyone who liked the previous Sudden Strike games will love this one! Thank you, guys, for making this.
There’s nothing more enjoyable than playing a high quality WW2 strategy game. I use to play strategy board games back in the 70’s with friends which took days to complete. SS5 comes close to that pace of gameplay, where you have to slow down and plan your attacks on regions, not knowing what resistance will be met. SS5 is a well paced game where strategy is king. I am thoroughly enjoying the latest version since being hooked since the original version in 2000. The only area which I would like to me more competitive is the AI infantry, where they just stand and take the hits rather than seeking nearby cover. Overall a 4.5 stars from me.
