Thanks to Saint Proverbius from RPG Codex for letting us know that they have posted a review of Nival's WWII-themed RPG-flavored tactical combat game 'Silent Storm'.There's been a hell of a lot of World War II themed games lately, in nearly every genre. Seems like nearly everyone has a game set in that war coming out. I guess that's okay, it wasn't that popular of a setting until recently, and it hasn't really been that popular of a setting for role playing games, dungeon crawler or otherwise. So far, all of them have come from Europe, like Another War came from developers in Poland.
Silent Storm is the latest CRPG from Russia, one that focuses on tactical combat rather than other solutions. Keeping with the setting, this game takes place all over Europe in an alternative 1943. Instead of your typical dungeon as seen in most dungeon crawlers, you have basically what you'd expect - military bases, houses, barns, and other semi-modern structures you can move to and from looking for quest items as well as enemies. The more quest items, which are listed in the Objectives menu, you find, the more locations the game will spawn for you to complete. |
