RPG Vault has posted its review of Nival's WWII-themed tactical combat RPG 'Silent Storm'. There is -as always- no score so here's a snip from the conclusion:By any standard, Silent Storm is an involving and detailed take on infantry combat, encompassing a lengthy brace of campaigns that should engross grognards, desktop strategists - and perhaps to a somewhat lesser extent, role-playing enthusiasts - for many hours of play. With an interface that is simple to grasp and offers considerable scope for varied tactics, the game is eminently accessible from the outset, yet its combination of an abundance of enemies with turn-based skirmishing makes it difficult to put down. On the downside, it is perhaps regrettable that, in light of the destructibility of the environs, usage of the vehicles found in some levels isn't possible, as they serve mere aesthetic purpose. |
