Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
62 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay is loyal to sudden 1, 2, gold, forever, hidden stroke, the greatest of sudden strike.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
53 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
For me personally the humour and cartooney graphics was what made Sudden Strike a fun game for me, which I played as downtime from serious strategy games, it still works the same, if you think this is a serious or realistic tactical game, I feel sorry for you with the frustratingly cut down ranges of all weapons in all versions to make close combat on tiny maps work well.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I have not tried multiplayer or skirmish mode, but the campaign mode has been quite decent so far.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Overall, Sudden Strike 4 succeeds in offering a modern take on tactical World War II combat.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The sound design does a respectable job, with satisfying weapon effects and radio chatter, although voice acting can come off as flat and repetitive at times.
Monetization
Players who bring up Monetization mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
From small rifles to big artillery guns; their impact is astonishingly realistic for a game that can easily be bought outside of Steam for pocket money, DLCs included.
