There's no room for error, but then the game's AI decides to create errors for no reason. Often times my troops and vehicles will go in directions I don't want them to because they arbitrarily decided to choose their own route, even if it exposed them. Often times I'm stuck unable to select units even after gliding the mouse across the screen. Getting my units to move is like herding glitchy cats who don't get it. Thsi is where Sudden Strike 4 starts to show its age because they've learned nothing from the previous games or current RTS titles when it comes to resource management or command. You're stuck with what you've got and you have to play smart, or in this care, slow. Unlike a lot or RTS games, you're not building anything or taking over so much territory there's no alternative for the enemy. And that's something you'll be doing a lot to kill time as you'll find the gameplay is slow as hell. The maps and environments are fairly interactive and can be destroyed, which is a nice touch to the realism of the battle as you play on multiple maps that are unique and leave it so you won't get the same environment twice. No two units work the same way and you'll find you have to employ different strategies to get every task completed. There's infantry, support, and armored doctrine to choose from to get the job done. You'll then be able to purchase upgrades under that commander so that the next outing has better results. Once you play a round you'll be ranked with stars for how well you did, which go to the specific commander you chose. You'll get a variety of locations, troop arrangements, and leaders to choose from as you'll tread into French and Italian cities, large countrysides, small towns, even the Battle Of Normandy. It isn't simply click and point to kill people, and the game will change things up for variety. You'll receive missions that give you various types of winning objectives, such as conquering certain parts of the area or blowing up a specific building. Each will have you sprawling across Europe and eastern Asia in an attempt to clear out enemies and claim the land for your own.

You have three different campaigns you can play: The Americans, The Soviets, and The Germans. Because nothing says "originality" like going back to World War II.

Sudden Strike 4 is a real-time strategy game where you are commanding troops in World War II. Its been about a decade since the last proper sequel came out (unless you count The Last Stand which was essentially a Part 2 to #3), but now Kalypso Media have released Sudden Strike 4 which we shall attempt to review.

The first game was fantastic, the second game did fairly well, and the third was either the best in the series or a clunky mess, depending on who you chat with. The Sudden Strike has kind of been hit-or-miss over the years.
