Silent Storm Demo v1.1 (200 MB)
Silent Storm is a true 3D tactical turn-based Role-Playing-Game set against the backdrop of WWII. As the conflict rages on the frontlines, you’ll be leading a small multinational squad behind enemy lines to gather information and wreak havoc on your enemies while trying to thwart a mysterious new rising power whose plans are even more horrific than anything the world has yet witnessed.
Silent Storm is fully rendered in breathtaking 3D – and includes fully destructible environments, realistic weaponry and unlimited tactical possibilities. Turn-based gaming has never looked this good!
Choose your squad from over 40 operatives of 30 different nationalities, each with a unique background and mix of specialties and skills. You’ll be able to arm each of them with a mix of over 75 authentic WWII weapons ranging from commando daggers to shoulder-mounted rocket launchers.
Silent Storm sets a new standard for the turn-based genre with rag-doll kinetic physics and bullet trajectory tracing lending a level of realism to characters and warfare that surpasses any title in the genre.
Two non-linear campaigns let you command Allied or Axis forces and give you full control over the style and difficulty of play. The variety of squad members and weaponry let you emphasize stealth or maximum firepower, and nearly unlimited random encounters let you prepare your squad for their secret missions where skill and tactical cunning will make the difference between life and death.
