Squads can be made of up to twelve units ( Dawn of War style), and can be controlled by selecting just one of them. Company of Heroes, and similar games, generally stylize their units more making each one more distinctive, and puts them into squads. For this reason Men of War is arguably more of a Turn Based Strategy without the turns than a Real Time Strategy.

The Men of War series is even more in-depth than the Sudden Strike games, but it gets around the problem of micromanagement by letting gamers pause and take as long as they want giving orders to units. The reason for this is simply because it’s too time consuming to micromanage large numbers of virtual soldiers. Generally speaking, the fewer units under your control the more complex the tactics and the more micromanagement you will be able to manage (obviously above a minimum number of units). There is a balance in RTS games between the number of units, and the complexity of the tactics you can employ. SS4 plays smoothly even on the highest graphic settings and has no trouble adapting to modern resolutions like 21:9 and, with the exception of multiplayer, (which I’ll get onto later) seems to be an all-round, well made game. Mechanically SS4 seems well made: there were few animation bugs during the beta but they all seem to have been fixed.
The UI also has a number of modern features that help make gameplay more intuitive and easy. Overall graphics in SS4 are modern looking and well designed the detail in the units, environments and maps, all show how much love has gone into it. The campaign is let down slightly by the quality of the voice acting having Soviet commanders give you a mission briefing in an American accent is a little off-putting. It manages to add a certain amount of uncertainty, even to scripted missions (at least for the first time you play them). SS4 sticks close to the formula of its predecessors: focussing on unit realism and goal based missions, with surprises appearing during missions and the occasional reinforcements too.

With such a treasured history, and with many modern rivals ( Men of War, Company of Heroes, Blitzkrieg 3) can Sudden Strike 4 still satisfy its existing fanbase, and can it compete with the many other WWII RTS’s already on the market? The Trial Missions and campaigns followed actual events closely and ultimately the Sudden Strike name gained a reputation for its high difficulty and reliance on careful strategy, and attracted many “veteran” RTS players to the series. The Sudden Strike games also ditched the usual resource collection and base building mechanics seen in games like C&C, instead giving you specific units at the beginning of each mission, with occasional reinforcements. With two following games being released in 20, the series gained popularity for having far greater realism and deeper simulation than most other RTS’s of the time. Sudden Strike 4 ( SS4) is Kalypso Media’s and Kite Games’ sequel to Sudden Strike series, which originally released seventeen years ago.
