Yes, it is out. Very nice game. It reminds me good old Jagged Alliance or some mixture of Fallout 2 and BOS.
Nice music, great graphics - realistic lights/shadows, great char animation, btw they can run, walk, crouch, prone. First game ever made where you can destroy almost everything. (What are these lockpicks for? -asks 2 feet gorilla with machine gun. Two bursts and the locked chest or door is open <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Plot could be worked out better. But, there are still some goodies like random encounters.

Yes, and it is turn based.
Good example of a great game. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

here, have a look

So, everyone, who likes tactical turn-based strategy RPG games there is suprisingly impressive presentation of such a game - Silent Storm.

You forgot to mention the most important thing: it's russian <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/freak.gif" alt="" />

It's a great game, with a fine graphic engine and an innovative skill system. Definitly not for everyone but it's much alike with Jagged Alliance.
Good you like it, Egin.

Yep, I enjoy the games like UFO, Fallouts, JA, so this was a pleasant surprise for me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> And even most of all that it is russian. Russians learn to make great games <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

The most astonishing piece of software I've ever seen as russion work is the PTS-DOS. Written totally in Assembler it is said to be incredibly fast. I couldn't buy it so far.

IGN gives a positive review on the game despite the flaws. & it looks so good that i may even try turn-based gaming. but then, maybe not. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />
