Sudden Strike is a series of real-time tactics video games set during World War II.[3] The series is developed by Fireglow based in Russia and published by CDV software of Germany and has been re-published by ZOOM-Platform.com.[1][4] The player selects a faction (e.g. Soviets, Germans, or Allied forces) and gains control of many varied units such as infantry, tanks and artillery. The games focus primarily on tactics, eschewing traditional real-time strategy resource gathering and base development.

Sudden Strike
The original Sudden Strike, released in 2000,[5] included three campaigns (Soviets, Germans, and Allied forces). The battles are presented in an isometric perspective with line-of-sight occlusions and practical cover.[6] Sudden Strike helped pioneer the real-time tactics genre, building upon concepts established by Counter Action for DOS, which was published by Mindscape in 1996.[7]
Sudden Strike 2
Sudden Strike 2 was also developed by Russian developer Fireglow and published by CDV and was released in 2002.[8] The game has since undergone minor changes in its game engine and now features a higher resolution setting and other graphical changes. The campaign still involves the Soviets and Allies, against the Germans and a new country, Japan.
Sudden Strike 3: Arms for Victory
Sudden Strike 3 is the third title in the series and the first to incorporate a 3D graphics engine.
Sudden Strike: The Last Stand
It was released in March 20, 2009.[9] It is a enhanced version of Sudden Strike 3 which brings back a few features from Sudden Strike 2.[10][11] The user interface is reworked in order to make it easier for player to control units and realize their tactics in the game.
Sudden Strike 4
The game was announced in August 2016 and was released in August 2017. It was developed by Kite Games and published by Kalypso Media for PlayStation 4 and PC.[12] While the developers hoped to remain true to the spirit of other games in the series, new skill trees and commander roles were introduced as features.
