It’s a bit strange to hear a Texan say “Yes, Herr Commandant” without even trying to force a bit of a German lilt, only to find the same voice calling you “Comrade” in the same manner in the next battle. No matter who you choose to play as, the voiceover is portrayed by folks with American accents.

Selecting the right man for the job is absolutely key as some of the buffs have the ability to turn the tide of a battle in relatively short order. Each army has three available commanders that you can choose to play as, who each have their own skill trees that provide benefits to the forces on the ground.

You can replicate the heroics of such battles as Operation Market Garden or Operation Overlord as the Allies, fight to win the likes of Operation Barbarossa as the Germans, or try to lift the Siege of Leningrad or win the Battle of Moscow as the Soviets. Set in World War II, the game lets you take control of the German, Soviet, or Allied forces in three separate campaigns as you revisit famous battles from the conflict. Sudden Strike 4 is the first title in the franchise to reach consoles and was always going to be a tricky port, given the in-depth nature of things in the previous titles.
