At the end of each level players are granted a star-rating for their play.
But the game will not reward you for it! Sudden Strike 4 recognizes flanking and smart unit movements.
Sure, you can rush units into battle, running through bullets, taking on casualties, and eventually swimming through the blood of your own army to victory. Sudden Strike 4 will reward you for smart tactics. While the visual and audio appeal is far above average within Sudden Strike 4, some of the basic gameplay decisions will leave players scratching their heads, while others will have players slow clapping. Hearing the whiz of rockets flying across the map – the clunking of metal as tanks roll past enemy lines – the cold snap of Garand rifles firing – it all contributes to a convincing depiction of World War 2 action.
The quality of sound design has also been given lots of love and care. These decisions also have an effect on gameplay, deepening the immersion. The developers even devoted time to allowing things like snow to build up onto the vehicles if sitting still – one of many small touches to the game to really make its visuals pop and feel realistic.
