silent storm

Silent storm and Silent storm sentinals ( the add on) are from Russian developers Nival entertainment. A squad tactical turnbased game with roleplayish character developements. The game is WW2 inspired and you will perform alot of missions around Europe in a war ridden time. The game is fairly easy to get into and the story isn't much to either boast with or to curse. It is there and you do the missions and lets face it, you are there to beat the enemy in turn based action galore.

As a tactical game it is fun, rather accurate on the whole regarding equipment and places you visit. The RPG mathers mostly on how experienced your character gets.

The story, what there is of it, is that during the WW2 you come across information about a secret organisation that wants to take over the world more or less and they call themselves "Hammer". You can play along this track as both allied forces of from the Axis side, but the main quests will be the same and that is to beat Hammer. Hammer is a niceway to get out of the old, lets beat up the germans, again! A new take on it which is rather enlightening and also opens up for a more varid gameplay. Unfrtunately there is a sci-fi add to this where you will find what is called Panzerklein, little tanks n´more or less, that makes you think that you are in a steam punk Appleseed. Small personal outifitted powerarmours with HUGE guns. Well, form here on it is just to part with the realistic part and take up a "lazer" and join the Allan Partridge project and blow all other Panzerkleins to small metal slugs.

[silent storm sentinals]
Sentinals is the add on to Silent storm and it basicly adds more of the same. Here you contiune to battle Hammer after the WW2's end. The game has some new things to it but basicly it just continues but there are some major differencies:
- You now have to pay for equipment which leads to clean sweeping the area for stuff
- A you missed these items, in the end of mission
- You have to pay new recruits, and the recruits can be really good.
- You can still not have the ninja outfit as the game shows on the gameart! BAD!
- Tougher, more difficult near impossible missions after awhile.
All in all, Snetinals is for you if you really liked Silent storm, if you thought it was OK and want alot of refreshing things from a sequal, don't bother, play sentinals one more time on difficult and with a new faction.
