  • Summary: Stormrise offers fans of the classic RTS genre an immersive and dramatic twist while challenging the conscience of the gamer. Experience the heat of the battlefield by leading your troops from the front line, instead of the traditional way of controlling the units from a detached view point. Stormrise also allows units to be commanded in the air, across rooftops, on the earth's surface and even underground, this unique idea of "verticality" introduces multiple layers of gameplay that must be mastered for strategic advantage. The experience is heightened by a simple yet effective control system tailored specifically for consoles, which allows easy unit selection, rapid navigation and precise deployment. Set on a bleak and barren earth, devastated by a catastrophic event centuries ago, Stormrise sees the Echelon and the Sai battling to survive in a hostile and uninhabitable wasteland. Remnants of a superior technological people the Echelon survived the event through self-educed hibernation, while the Sai, a more tribal faction, still exist having learned to adapt to their surroundings and the new environment. Having evolved in vastly different ways, the differences between the two factions have spurred much animosity and hatred between the two races and the future of the planet is now hanging by a thread.

    Stormrise delivers a unique experience that will be remembered. It may be too frustrating (and occasionally too repetitive) to convert those that don't play strategy games. But it moves the genre ahead and is no doubt a step in the right direction.

    Stormrise also does a terrible job of giving you information.

    The frustrations that come from playing it outweigh the game's few positive elements.

    The game's worst enemy is the clearly rushed production time. You can feel a decent idea inside Stormrise, yearning to get out.

    Best RTS on the 360..on any system for that matter including PC, and thats coming from an old Starcraft master lol..simple as that in my opinion. Great environments and effects, unique gameplay...turn-based combat/chess theory in some ways, if that makes sense; move,cover,let enemy attack, move etc; the 'whip select' works a treat once figured out. Its got a few issues here and there which ARE going to be patched (patch 2)VERY soon (patch 1 already out), check out Stormrisers.com for more info. Great unofficial fan site only too willing to help u through an admittedly tough, engrossing, totally unique experience. Just add Stormrisers to your friends list, will be accepted in a couple of days, great online community (small but dedicated). Skirmish games are a blast to. Just take your time. Learn the game in single player, play co-op against AI armies learn from players only too willing to help and play skirmish mode against AI. Mature gamers will enjoy this one more I think.… Expand

    This game is a whole new exspierence in RTS on consles. once u get around its few little down sides it has amazing up sides nothing is better then commanding a group of enforcers supported by snipers up high. In all then only couple of downsides are units feel to weak and there are somethings that could be in there like dropships or buildable cover, aside from that this game is new and extremely fun i recamend it.… Expand

    Good game, great multiplayer, as long as you can get a handle on the controls. There is certainly a learning curve, but worth it once you get the hang of it.… Expand

    THis game is so boring it is unbelievable. I bought it for about £10 thinking it would be a laugh but immediately wanted my money back. THe way you change characters is absolutely ridiculous. THere is a total of 0 people who ever go online probably because theyre busy playing a decent game other than this shambolic mess that should be banned as it is so poor. Want my Advice - Dont Buy this game.… Expand
