Title: Silent Storm Demo - cool, cool stuff
Post by: Kratzer on August 27, 2003, 09:37:40 PM
Turn based WWII combat...  terrific graphics, great gameplay... should be out sometime this fall either as a UK import, or eventually a US release.

Look around (3dgamers maybe) and find the English demo and check it out if you ever liked X-COM, or Fallout Tactics, or Soldiers at War...

Screens, etc.  And no, there are no robot powersuits in the demo...

Cool.  Since I've lost all hope of another X-COM ever being made, I'll give this a shot. :)   Thanks.

There are stupid robot super armour things in this one. It does get very unhistorical as the game progresses.

Which is a shame because the game does look very good.

Dowding,

I was looking at the same thing yesterday :mad:

However the game says there'll be some kind of an editor which can change units etc.
So hopefully those can be edited out... at least I don't want any terminators in my campaign.


Otherwise.. the demo is quite neat, albeit AI could be smarter than dash into the valley of fire from an ambush positions.
If wants to complete mission, a careful defensive style advance is enough to beat the demo missions.
Advances a bit and stops to defend - AI will come.
Although that way it became a very nice grenade festival, when I had advanced with my men to a good cover and then I just threw grenades at the groups of germans from there.

Wonder where they got that idea.
