While I’m no history major, there’s nothing quite like having to invade an enemy controlled island on the beach shores and push your way into enemy lines. Historically, The Pacific War seems to be quite accurate. Sure it wasn’t anywhere near as strategic, but it brought a grin to my face when I would simply steamroll anything in front of my chosen path. Given that Sudden Strike 4 is a RTS, you’re going to have to become proficient with managing multiple squads at any given time, though for the majority of the missions, I found that gathering every single unit of mine and sending them as a massive force worked for the most part as well. You still need to use the annoying ‘A’ button hold for an expanding reticule to select units imperfectly. Looking up the DLC, you’ll probably notice that it’s priced a little high, $19.99 CAD to be exact, but for good reason, as you’re getting a massive 10 missions with completely new commanders, which is much more compared to what the previous DLC packages offered.Ĭore gameplay is largely unchanged mechanically.

I know it’s a historical recreation of events, but I don’t want to spoil any of the missions given there’s only a handful, though some were very interesting, challenging and unique. You’ll battle on completely new lands in scenarios that were iconic in World War II, such as the battle at Iwo Jima and more. Each campaign will allow you to utilize three new commanders each, all with their own unique abilities and playstyles. Adding a whole new theater of War, this expansion focuses solely on the Allies versus Japanese conflict in the Pacific, complete with new units, scenarios, gameplay and generals.Īs you begin, you’ll choose either Allied or Japanese forces, each with their own campaign of five missions each, for a total of ten. Since release, developers Kite Games have added a couple of DLC expansions for Sudden Strike 4, with the newest, The Pacific War, available now.
