The single player mode will feature three distinct campaigns which allow the player to choose to fight for the German, Soviet, or Allied Forces. These are but a sampling of the over 100 different and authentic units that will be available in the final version of the game. These will include the German bomber Heinkel He111, the Russian T-34 tank, the British Hawker Typhoon fighter plane and the notorious German Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger. Real life combat vehicles from World War II will be usable by the player in resolving international conflicts. Using historical commanders is not the attempt at adding some historical accuracy to Sudden Strike 4. Being able to select a historical figure to play is a first for the Sudden Strike series. What is known is real World War II figures will be featured in the game as available command unit to choose for your platoon, such as George Patton or Bernard Montgomery, out of nine available commanders to choose from, and each commander will have their own unique set of skills that they bring to the battlefield. Games are known for taking creative liberties with historical events, so I am not going to make the claim Sudden Strike 4 is going to be 100% historically accurate, primarily because this was not explicitly stated one way or another. Luckily, Sudden Strike 4 present some design choices that do manage to catch my interest, and in addition to having appeal to RTS fans, it looks like it also attempts to cater to history buffs.

World War II is not exactly an unheard of backdrop to be used in video games, so like all popular themes, this title will need to do something to differentiate it from the myriad World War II games out there. Featuring improved graphics, larger battlefields and new scenarios, the goal is to make the latest entry in this World War II RTS series the best entry in the series. The long-running Sudden Strike series is preparing to launch a new title in 2017, simply titled Sudden Strike 4.
