Stormrise was always going to fight an uphill battle, challenging people’s well-founded generalisations on real-time strategies on console. However, despite being mauled by critics and still-born on the commercial front thereafter, Creative Assembly Oz hit the mark with this misunderstood, slightly flawed underdog. Once controls are learned and the game play mechanics understood, it becomes a visceral, fast-moving tactical experience that takes no prisoners.
Stormrise rocks!
