First there was the Jagged Alliance series. One of my favorites of all time, and a genre with far too few contenders. Turn-based tactical games..... X-com.... JA...... then a vast void.... years went by with nothing to carry the torch.... Until Silent Storm. Truly a great game, one of those that always keeps you playing just a little bit longer. WW2 setting, you have a squad of soldiers instead of mercenaries, but you get to know and care about each one just as you did in JA, perhaps even more so… I have been begging GOG to get this game every time I visit the "wished for games" section, my old CD copy had issues with Windows 7, so after years of nothingness I can finally play again! - thank you GOG !!!!!! If you enjoy turn-based games at all do not hesitate - get this game and you will not be disappointed!
This one got everything right. It is THE RTS by which i compare and judge all others. Other reviewers have covered the mechanics, so I won't go in to that, but suffice it to say this game is purte gold. My highest recommendation if you like RTS games!
If you like turn based strategy games, you will not be disappointed - this is probably the best I have ever played. Yes, the graphics are dated now, but this game has personality that more than makes up for it - you get to know your mercs. I put this in my top 5 games of all time!
