En bref. Alors que la sortie du jeu approche à grand pas, Kalypso diffuse une vidéo présentant de nouveaux extraits du gameplay vu cette fois du coté des forces allemandes. L’occasion d’apercevoir différents types d’unités (ex : Tiger, Panther, Elefant, variantes de Panzers, …) et de mécanismes (ex : réparation et réapprovisionnement en munitions, unités capitulant si dépassées par le nombre), ainsi que par exemple un passage d’une mission dans le cadre des Ardennes, puis d’une autre pendant l’opération Barbarossa. Le prochain épisode de cette série de vidéos, qui ne saurait tarder, concernera les forces soviétiques.

About Sudden Strike 4
Sudden Strike 4 holds true to many of its traditional (and differentiating) gameplay elements that are the hallmark of the series, such as a focus on careful unit preservation and tactical exploitation of strength vs. weakness – rather than resource gathering and replacement unit construction.
This installment is not only a perfect return for long-standing fans of the series but also an excellent first introduction for a new audience to one of the best World War II RTS experiences available, particularly on console, where similar titles are few and far between. Regardless of platform, executing masterful military maneuvers in Sudden Strike 4 is almost effortless, limited only by your and your opponent’s strategic prowess.
Alors franchement et sincèrement moi qui aime le genre et amoureux des anciens opus, j’ai testé Biltzkrieg 3 et j’ai été très très déçus ( trop bourrin, IA débile, pas de stratégie , les fantassins foncent bêtement sur nos chars pour les détruire pas de tactiques enfin bref trop de pts négatif , ils ont osé tuer la licence Blitzkrieg…) .
Déçus de ce revers , j’ai hésité longuement a acheté Sudden strike 4…. et j’ai franchis le pas… et ho que ne fut pas ma surprise et une très bonne et belle surprise d’ailleurs.
Ce que je rêvais, ils ont fait , tactique et stratégie présente , brouillard de guerre qui s’efface par les éclaireurs , il faut avancé prudemment car on ne sait pas quelle unité ennemie peut être camouflé dans la végétation dense d’une foret ou d’une couverture, les chars ont bien souvent besoin de l’infanterie pour avancer presque sereinement sans tomber sur une mauvaise surprise ou une embuscade anti tank, les décisions bonnes ou mauvaises ont enfin de l’importance, si vous attaquer une place forte stratégique ou des casemates de canons , attendez vous a recevoir une contre attaque de renforts ennemis !
Réparation des organes critique de véhicules, logistique des munitions et de la santé des hommes , les véhicules de logistique ou de réparations/génie ont enfin de l’importance, sans compter les 3 arbres de compétences a choisir et a monter avec les étoiles que l’on gagne au fur a mesure des missions et campagnes .
Sans compter les mods que peuvent faire les joueurs par le steam workshop, ont peut s’attendre a de belle créations .
Enfin bref, sudden strike 4 est une belle réussite a ce que Blitzkrieg 3 et une grosse déception, c’est le jour et la nuit !
Vous hésitiez a acheter sudden strike 4 ? alors n’hésiter plus, foncez et éviter cette bouse de Blitzkrieg 3 vous ne le regretterez pas !
