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.
This is a game with plenty of good ideas and a decent enough storyline that keeps you interested, but it all gets far too bogged down by the cumbersome camera and twitchy controls.
Not what you expect from the makers of Total War: a flawed real time strategy, with zero thrills. [June 2009, p.74]
It looks good – the game world and the models fighting in it, despite some lacklustre opening cutscenes – but the means to get anything done is too painful to recommend. This has been, without a doubt, one of the times I found it hard to face going back again for another go. Which is a shame, because how this game design went through Creative Assembly’s processes and came out the other end mystifies me, and on that basis, this is almost impossible to recommend.
Stormrise is caulk full of good ideas that don't amount to much. RTS innovations alone can't save Stormrise because thinking great thoughts doesn't always equate to a good game. Any redeeming factor is marred by sloppy construction and ideas that sound much better on paper.
Considering Stormrise was created by The Creative Assembly who has crafted some of the best strategy titles in the history of strategy games; this game is an incredible and ultimate disappointment in almost every single way. At best it is a rental for those who are interested in console RTS games and for the rest of the gamers in the land, the game is just something to stay away from.
Pitifully inept real-time strategy that makes almost every design and technology mistake possible.

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...
