Lets Play... Silent Storm!
« on: August 12, 2012, 06:03:31 PM »


Silent Storm is a turned-based squad Strategy/Role Playing Game.  It is set in World War II featuring both an Axis and Allies campaigns.  They both involve each respective side fighting each other and a shadowy organization in a series of special operations missions.

So lets get started.

I clicked on the campaigns button and we get a choice; Axis or Allies.  Well seeing that Axis is placed before Allies, I'll take that.


So I make my character.  You get the normal character creation options; Sex, Nationality, Class, and Stats.  So I will pick a Male, German, Engineer. 

Finalize face.


Onto the first mission!
excrement some guys are robbing the bank!

And hiding the body.

Good thing the hero, yours truly, is there to save the day.

First guy goes down in a automatic burst with ease.

Second guy goes down but I take a hit from his pistol, nothing major at least.  Also I get to level up.

Found the leader!
Bullexcrement you "Mean me no harm."  Kill a guard and then shoot at me.

As I said bullexcrement!  You get to get some bullets to the face.


Last guy... you get to die as well.


Well lets check the objectives.

Carry... the... body.  Damn fatass dead body.


First mission, of many, complete.
Look at this... I get my own base of operations.
I have my office where I can recruit a squad.


An armory.  Change around some equipment and get a rifle for the hero.


And last the medical bay so I can heal anybody that takes a lot of hits on a mission.


This is it for today.
If you feel like getting Silent Storm for yourself it is available on Good Old Games for $10.

This actually seems fun. I might just take a look at it.

Keep calm and move along.

It is probably one of my favorite games of all time.
The little details, non-linear, and same maps for each campaign but different objectives.

When is this from, by the way? By the looks of it, it seems to be from somewhere between 2001 and 2004. Games were awesome in their own way back then.

Keep calm and move along.

Exactly, and if they wanted more content there was mods or the good old expansion packs.

I doubt there is a single game from the past few years that is like that. Now the developers try milking the consumers dry and at the same time try to figure out why piracy is increasing :dry:

Keep calm and move along.

Expect more games where developers try to nickle and dime you at every turn. F2P games with microtransactions are already like this.

Update time.

Well my next mission sending me to south England.

Looks like I will be attack a UK Laboratory.

My team starts on a road on the outside of the fenced in facility.

So I divide up the team into 2 fireteams.  Me, Flitz, and Klaus attack the north.  And Holly, Kenko, and Gari in the south


The group in the north open up first on the Allies.



North side is secured.

South side is setup around the side of the building to pull them into a sneak attack.

And it works surprising.

North side starts to open up on anybody they can hear in the next room.

Breaking open the windows we see the enemy carrying one of my targets out here.  Damn... Allies and these Renegade Soldiers.

The ambush through the wall takes out the carrier and a few men.

Room and hallway is cleared so we move in and grab the body.



excrement... enemy reinforcements good thing all my objectives are complete.



Mission complete.  Looks like I have to find a Major Newhouse.

Alas the long awaited update, apparently.


Well post mission time means go back to base for the armory before the next operation.



Well looks like the last mission unlocked North England for me.


And two missions for me to do as well.


Let's see what we got.
Old English Manor


and
UK Military Warehouse


I select the warehouse and it starts me in the open on a road...  Okay, if I am this special forces group why do I always start in the open.


Well first things first.  I get us to some cover on the side of the road.  I place a machine gun down the road and also one at our six.  Sniper is in the front, SMG to the rear as well, medic floats between the two in the middle while I go ahead to setup what's next.


Well a patrol shows up at our rear.


But they are mostly dispatched with burst from MGs and SMGs.


And this gives me time to place a charge by the wall.


And perfect timing because there another patrol to our 12 and looks like some more at our 6.


And as usual MGs easily deal with the situations.



Well now its quiet on our side time to make some noise.


And for some reason it draws British civilians to hide by me...


Time to put some fire through that new "door".


And the wall as well...



And the moment I enter I get shot up by a guy hiding in the grass.


As I get healed some poor sap bleeds out.


Have to love random explosions.


And another gets ripped apart by MG fire.


Okay these civilians are like insects and might have to murder them...


Found the objective.



And someone tries to sneak up on us.



Time to pick up the information see what it says and get out of here.




Well looks like I have to find a Mr. Weber and good old Newhouse still as well.  But I got a medal out of this.


I have to say playing this game again is a breath of fresh air compared to games now days.
The campaign changes as you find objectives and information so its never 100% the same and the missions can be played anyway you want.
I could run in shooting up the place, attack from the rear gate, the front gate, blow a hole in the wall(my favorite), nonlethal with dart guns, not kill anyone, and many more.

Well that concludes this installment.

It is to my sincere regret that I never played this game. Maybe if I go look on Amazon...

Good playthrough PMorgan, looking forward to more updates.

And I don't know about murdering those civies...a couple of them were pretty cute...;)

Lol, no. :D

Women, but not in uniform. And not the European kind.

Off topic though. Let's keep it at that.
