If you get tired of battling against AI opponents, you can always dive into Sudden Strike 4‘s multiplayer.
Each expansion is split into two campaigns, with the Dunkirk expansion being split into German and Allied campaigns, and the Finnish-Winter Storm expansion being split into Soviet and Finnish-German campaigns. Sudden Strike 4: European Battlefields Edition is the most complete Sudden Strike 4 you can get, including all of the downloadable content, and even console exclusive multiplayer maps. You gain access to the Dunkirk and Finnish-Winter Storm expansions, which introduce new a new faction–the Finnish–as well as new generals and new units. As for the story, each level is self-contained–the end of one level doesn’t lead directly into the next. While the levels are named after historical battles, the fact that you can play levels through with different generals and units means there isn’t a great deal of historical accuracy, but it also allows for great replay value. Each of these campaigns consists of seven levels each, with each level based on a historical World War II battle–like Operation Barbarossa, Operation Overlord, and the Battle of Stalingrad–to name a few. The base game contains a tutorial level, separate from the rest of the game, and three campaigns, one for each of the three factions: the Soviets, Allies, and Germans. Your choice of doctrine also affects which units you spawn with, and what reinforcements you are given. The more powerful the ability, the more stars it will cost. You can also unlock more abilities for your doctrines by earning stars from missions, which can then be spent on new abilities.
the passive abilities granted by doctrines may change between campaigns. While each campaign always gives you the option of selecting a general that represents either the Infantry, Support, or Armored Doctrine. Each one confers different bonuses and abilities and is better suited for different playstyles and missions. You are also given several selectable doctrines, represented as different era-authentic generals, depending on the campaign and side you are playing, at the beginning of each mission. Aircraft are also available, although they are more like a consumable resource than a unit, as when you target an area for bombing the bomber will make a single bombing run and then fly off the map. These include infantry and ground vehicles like tanks and half-tracks. Additional reinforcements being provided as the mission progresses. Where Sudden Strike 4: European Battlefields strays from the real-time strategy formula you may be familiar with is how you acquire units: instead of building bases with which to create units, you are given different amounts and types of units at the start of a mission. However, if you select a unit from a group in order to move it to a place that’s more to your liking, it will be removed from the group and have to be manually added again, which can become frustrating.
Once you have consolidated your units into their own groups it becomes incredibly easy to switch from group to group, and move them as you see fit.
By clicking in the right stick while you have all these units selected, you create a new group, which is separate from the rest of your units, and can be selected via the D-pad. In order to select more than one unit, you have to hold down the A button and move the left stick up or down to increase and decrease the size of a circle, which auto-selects all units in that circle. They falter, for instance, when you try to organize your units into smaller groups. The console controls are not perfect, however. It achieves this quite well on console, as controlling large numbers of units is very easy once you get the hang of it.
