There are no squads, platoons or companies, even though some battles will include hundreds of individual infantry, guns and vehicles. The skimpy manual mentions general strengths and weaknesses and that’s about it. As a wargame, you get all the hardware but are denied detailed information about how these elements interact. The graphics are good, however, and it’s possible to run the game at high resolutions. Sudden Strike is a battle game, pure and simple, and it’s all done in a 2D isometric perspective. As a real-time strategy game, Sudden Strike provides some impressive fireworks and plenty of action, but any likeness to real WWII combat is incidental.
Sudden Strike’s overhead perspective and WWII setting ensure comparisons will be made with the Close Combat series, but anyone looking for rugged attention to authenticity is sure to walk away from this game in bewilderment.
There’s fun to be had here as long as you aren’t expecting a serious WWII sim.
