Loadedinc has slapped up a review of Nival's RPG-flavored tactical combat game 'Silent Storm'. Rating: 6.5/10 .There's a guard behind that doorway. You know he's there even though the door is shut, because a giant ear symbol marks the spot where you last heard him. Your engineer drops to his belly and looses off a burst of heavy machine gun fire into the doorway. The wood splinters, and your sniper now has a clear shot. She'll fire carefully and deliver a single, precise shot into the enemy's head. End of turn.
Silent Storm offers real-time exploration and turn-based combat in an otherwise unoriginal WWII setting. A subtle reference to armoured suits adds an element of sci-fi intrigue to the plot, but sending a squad of quirky yet skilled soldiers behind enemy lines is something we've all done thousands of times, whether in pulp novels or big movies boasting squinting, grizzled stars. This time round we can choose sides, which is morally ambiguous to say the least. |
