Sudden Strike Hits North American Shores
Available in major retailers nationwide
Montreal, Quebec. January 24, 2001 - Strategy First Inc., one of the fastest growing independent developers and publishers of PC CD-ROM games, announced today that its highly anticipated real-time strategy game, Sudden Strike has shipped.
The North American version of the game ships with 5 additional missions, multiplayer support on gamespyarcade.com and minor bug fixes since the European release.
"Sudden Strike adds a new twist to the RTS genre focusing on pure combat!" says Adam Phillips, Product Manager. " It also has some really great multiplayer twists focusing on achieving objectives to get reinforcements rather than resource collecting and building."
About Sudden Strike Sudden Strike is an RTS-style action game with a World War II theme. Players control units from the American, German, British, French or Russian forces, in three distinct campaigns that loosely follow the major battles of World War two in numerous action-packed scenarios. Gameplay is focused on fast-paced action with basic elements of realism, like towed anti-tank cannons, paratroopers, indirect artillery, snipers, bazookas, fortifications, etc…. The environment is almost completely interactive, allowing for bridges, trees, buildings and other structures to be completely blown up during combat. The environment also allows for multiple strategies involving use of cover, snipers, spotters, building defenses and surprise attacks.
Sporting beautiful graphics, realistic sounds and historically accurate unit art (up to 1000 units in a mission), Sudden Strike will transport players back in time to battles set at Stalingrad and the landings of Normandy. Multiplayer mode is heavily supported with up to 12 players in 4 teams, with cooperative and head-to-head play.
Sudden Strike will be distributed nationwide by Infogrames for a suggested retail price of $39.99 US.
