Pacific Storm: Allies

Hunter · 06-14-06, 04:24 AM

Pacific Storm is all about battleships and aircraft carriers - the giants of naval warfare during WWII - about captains and admirals, as well as rank-and-file soldiers and sailors of the two great military powers, that locked in a life-and-death conflict. In Pacific Storm you can become Commander-in-Chief, responsible for the lives of thousands of servicemen and the destiny of your country, commanding officer of a small squadron or even an ordinary military pilot, fighting in the sky over the Pacific. And, gradually, as you play, from all these separate bits and pieces will emerge one impressive picture of the great and fierce battles fought in the Pacific during WWII.

Pacific Storm is a game about the war in the Pacific between the U.S. and Japan. It has the elements of a global strategy, tactical game and an arcade air simulator. Playing either for the United States or Imperial Japan, you walk through a dramatic sequence of large-scale naval and air military operations. The game covers the time from 1940 - 1948. As you play, you can develop new technologies, build and deploy new weapon systems or even change history. Thanks to a smooth and seamless combination of strategy, tactics and simulator, you are completely free to take whatever strategic or tactical decisions you consider best or abandon for a time all strategy and tactics and inhabit any of your units so as to take part in the fighting personally. Steel Monster's gameplay combines exceptional depth and scale of the strategic mode, superior authenticity of the tactical mode and exciting dynamics of the simulator.

Looks interesting; can't tell how you play it, though. This "blend" of three styles is confusing me.

A demo is available at
http://www.pacificstorm.net/en/index.php

There is an extensive tutorial included that takes you though each layer of play.

Thanks - missed that before.

Tried the tutorial/demo and it looks good. Unlike most tutorials which are lousy IMO. Only problem I have is that the mouse scroll is REALLY slow; changing the sensitivity to try to make it faster made it too fast. That's probably a problem on my end, but I'll have to work it out before I can finish the demo.

Sonarman · 06-14-06, 04:32 PM

Yup, sound's like it's on your end unfortunately, the mouse worked fine for me.

Thanks

This game will be released in Next month in USA. It sounds really good. At first I did not get it but then read a little bit more into it.

Things like Making Own Ships and Adding mods to them, actually planes too.
Building Bases, and Invading Japans bases with troops, planes, ships etc.

It almost sounds like Hearts of Iron with 3d graphics. (of course only Pacific part)

Can't wait to buy this now.

I've already completed the file unpacker for Pacific Storm. I'll make it available when the retail comes out here in NA.

Currently working on a graphical 2D mission editor for ocean battles. It will be able to create massive battles on a 100x100KM map using all units. It also supports a simple scripted language for those that want to manuever units this way. The editor is 70% complete at this date. It will be released in the next few weeks.
