There are two amazing game series that came out of russia when it used to be innovative and less of a joke it is today
The games are Star Wolves and Silent Storm
Silent storm at the time it was made was an amazing and unmatched party focused turn based strategy game
The Good:
-Huge number of iconic WW2 (and sci-fi) weapons, items and gadgets
-Fully, YES FULLY, destructable enviroments (for 2004 this was inconceivable), hear something on the second floor of a building? Blast it, bring down the whole floor down. Need a new door to enter a building, see a wall? Hans get the panzershrek
-Large maps with at times battle featuring multiple phases
The Bad:
-Near the endgame of a campaign the grounded in reality battles become outdated as you and the enemy start deploying armoured powered suits (Panzer-klein's) that invalidate most small arms weaponry and come equiped with plasma weaponry of their own
-Voiceline amount is not that high so be prepared to keep hearing the same annoying quip each time you do the most basic of actions
-AI has no way to deal with you abusing the Erwin Rommel school of battle - hiding behind corners and shooting the enemy when they come closer, the same is with the stealth mechanic
The Ugly:
-Would of been glad if the Axis and Allies were only given their own weaponry, you could scavange enemy weapons but no ammo should be provided for them back at base, unlike the sequel "Sentinels" it makes no sense why is the player restricted in this way and is only able to get actual good weapons near the end of a campaign and in limited amounts
-The story is on the weaker side so do not expect much in the way of plot
-There is nothing else like this game and chances are there will never be again, which makes me sad
I remembered this game exists because I found my physical CD copy in my desk while cleaning
was fun but very difficult, the game has a bug at the last level where the boss wont apear no matter what and you cant beat it
Great, if a bit outdated in terms of general game design, turn-based strategy. Highly recommend.
its fun
This is an amazing game!!! I love everything!! It's old, so it has bad graphics, but It's so good, that it makes you ignore that!
Great game that has aged well - still very enjoyable in 2024
Only 2 genders available! What a shock! :D
Recommend for sure!
Although I like elements of this game I think there are too many things I'm not keen on.
Pros
There's a decent array of weapons, it's not all that obvious I think for beginners how to equip the inventory and make sure the ammo matches the weapons etc but I kinda figured it out and I think the idea of familiarity with a weapon makes sense.
The game mechanics (combat etc) seemed broadly OK.
I thought the idea of being able to hear the enemy (in cases where you can't see them) was a good concept though not sure about the implementation in a couple of cases (see below).
Cons
I felt like in a lot of cases it was not really obvious to me what constitutes good "cover" - in XCOM for example it's made very clear what is half / full cover - in this game I honestly have no idea if going through / behind the trees for example is helping at all - and it wasn't really clear to me (for example) how to stand in cover at a doorway and effectively lean out / use the doorway or wall as cover while firing out at approaching enemy. I think there is a better mechanic in XCOM that I think it assumes your unit will lean out round a corner to fire while continuing to remain behind the cover.
Clicking on stuff feels very fiddly - in particular, how many times did I select Character A....then try to select Character B...and because I just missed clicking on the right spot for Character B, instead I have actually told A to move to stand next to B. And a lot of the items (weapons, clips etc) are so small that you really have to squint at the screen to click on exactly the right spot to pick them up.
Getting stuck due to AI-controlled friendly units milling around in the building blocking a doorway.
The AI turn takes.....sooooo long.......I feel like it should not be this slow.
It was not clear to me as a new player what the objectives were in some scenarios - eventually worked out that to take stuff "off map" you need to take the item + your team to the edge of the map but it does not seem clear to me at all how you are supposed to understand that as a new player. Also objectives like making an enemy "unconscious" - to a new player it doesn't seem that clear if you are allowed to shoot him as medically you'd think that shooting someone would be considered a risky approach to achieving unconsciousness (though in practice in this case it did turn out that shooting him repeatedly was the required step).
Similarly in terms of the overall story it just feels quite random, and not really that obvious what the next scenario or plot step is.
This might sound strange but I find some of the scenarios etc just distractingly bizarre like I turn up at a building which is supposed to be British-controlled...guards on the front gate etc....so head inside and immediately take a grenade to the face as one of the doors inside the building has been booby-trapped by one of the many Germans who are hanging around upstairs and in the basement....doing what exactly...making themselves a nice cup of tea? With the British guards on the front gate seemingly unaware that the building has half the German army hanging around inside it turning it into a death trap...and then as the battle starts all the AI-controlled friendly units who had seemingly been quite peaceful under German occupation start milling around in a crouch which just looks kinda funny. Similarly as I'm driving around the British countryside there are random encounters with Germans on the road...because after all, it's historical fact that during WW2 most British countryside roads had German checkpoints set up on them. I mean I get this is a game so sure I should probably suspend my disbelief but some of it was a bit head-scratching.
There were a few times I was pretty sure the German soldier was stood in full view of my units but I still just got the outline (i.e. I can hear but not see)
As I think one of the other reviews pointed out, there's no marker or indicator that I can see to remind you which is the solider, medic etc - if you are going to have classes like this then they should be an important / hard to miss part of the game.
The fact that you can accidentally shoot your own units if they are standing between you and your target is fine for realism but I would prefer if either the shot was considered "blocked" (i.e. you just can't shoot because your character can see there is someone in the way) or there is an obvious warning on screen of the risk of friendly fire. I don't see why you wouldn't have this as surely in reality the person shooting would be able to see the friendly unit in the way - for me it was just annoying as I was trying to guess if a friendly unit was really in the line of fire.
In some cases the % chance to hit seemed a bit odd e.g. there are two of my guys with automatic weapons at one end of a corridor and two Germans at the other end. The corridor is about the width of two people so I figure my guys literally can't miss because the Germans are occupying most of the width of the corridor so my guys literally just need to make sure they fire down the corridor, but the % chance to hit is like 5-6% and my guys don't land a single hit despite firing quite long bursts. I dunno what a realistic number / outcome is here but it just seemed a bit odd cos I felt like I was in an excellent position but the game is saying nope not so much.
Neutral
There is some bizarre dialogue, probably my favourite was a German walking through a door, taking an entire machine gun clip to the face and declaring he is "getting a bad feeling" as his corpse slides down the stairs. I mean it's kinda funny so sure but I don't think the little dialog bits are really necessary.
It's quite easy to get your characters killed, or at least I found it quite easy. In some ways I like the realism but when there are things like booby traps in buildings that your own side literally controls etc then it does mean there is a fair casualty rate. I think that combining the fact that characters can get killed quite easily with the fact that to me it's not really that clear what constitutes good cover is not a good combination.
Overall
XCOM etc is just a better game - although this game has its plus points for me it has too many flaws and feels too clunky and slow and old for me to really want to play it (and I generally don't mind older games).
