GAME SUMMARY

Stormrise

Rating: 4.4 (6 votes cast)

Assume command on the frontlines of battle! Experience the rush of battle in ways no other real-time strategy game has ever offered. Stormrise is the first truly 3D, next-gen RTS that, via the 3rd person camera perspective, puts you directly in the action. No other RTS game combines this level of immersion and emotional intensity with the scale and depth of a strategy game. Designed for next generation consoles (PLAYSTATION®3 and Xbox 360), Stormrise puts you on the frontlines of battle as the heroic leader of your troops, allowing you to lead from the front in the world’s most immersive RTS. 

Earth’s protective atmosphere has been stripped away by a catastrophic event centuries ago. In a bleak and barren landscape, the planet’s inhabitants have had to adapt radically in order to survive, resulting in the creation of two distinctly different races; the Echelon and the Sai. With both factions constantly battling for supremacy, the rebuilt civilisation is on the brink of another catastrophe… 

  • Lead from the front - Control units and issue commands while viewing the battle from the 3rd-person POV of any unit on the battlefield. The 3rd-person camera offers unprecedented immersion in the game world and presents warfare in a more visceral, emotional, and epic manner than ever before.
  • The first fully 3D RTS - Gone are the flat levels of traditional strategy games. Engage in warfare on battlefields comprised of sprawling cities and towering skyscrapers that let you play in a truly 3D environment
  • Revolutionary Console RTS Features - Groundbreaking control method for quick and intuitive controls. ‘Tactical Playbook’ which gives players all the strategic choice they get from a traditional RTS, but with the simplicity and accessibility of a playbook 
  • Advanced Multiplayer Features - Multiplayer modes feature “join anytime” functionality, previously only seen on First Person Shooters and a breakthrough for console strategy titles.

This game was meant to bridge the gap between PC and console systems for strategy games and allow them to compete with one another. The results were less than spectacular, since the entire interface is built around console controls, leaving PC gamers with an unwieldy and clumsy experience.

Visually, there are some assumptions made in the development of the game. The first is that you'll be playing on a widescreen monitor/tv. If you're not, expect the aspect ratio to be off. The second assumption is that you're running a PC that can now compete with console systems for gaming.

Unfortunately I'm not using the latest and greatest. (My experience was upgraded to run Mass Effect when it came out.) As a match gains momentum, issued commands start having more and more lag to them even as the player is able to jump around the battlefield. Graphics were choppy, dialog was intermittent. My recommendation would be to play this on a console and forget the PC version.

A somewhat different Real-Time Strategy game. It isn't as good as one would expect, but it isn't a bad game. The controls are a bit weird and hard for mouse and keyboard, but work like a charm when using an Xbox 360 controller, so it is highly suggested to play this game with an Xbox 360 controller instead of a Mouse and Keyboard.

Overall is a pretty unique game, and RTS built for consoles that, when you take that into account, works on PC too, and is actually fun to play.
