Hammer & Sickle
_Hammer & Sickle_ is a turn-based strategy game with role playing elements
that uses the Silent Storm engine and universe. The year is 1949, with the
Cold War between the US and Soviet Union looming and both sides uneasy at the
thought of an atomic war occurring. The player takes the role of a Soviet
commando on an undercover mission to meet a contact in Allied-occupied
Germany. However, things go badly for this meeting, leaving the protagonist
without proper support, equipment, and identification papers. Behind Allied-
occupied lines, the player must attempt to stop a rogue third party intent on
initiating World War III between the US and Russia.
Players can choose to start with one of 6 player classes: Soldier, Grenadier,
Scout, Sniper, Medic, and Engineer. Additionally, there are opportunities
throughout the game to recruit additional characters to round out the party’s
abilities. The game itself features a branching plot where the player’s
actions and dealings with NPC’s can have serious consequences later on. For
example, an intelligent character may be able to talk his way out of a
situation, and killing Allied soldiers may prompt more patrols later on and
slide the situation towards World War III.
_Hammer & Sickle_ also features heavy squad-based combat, and it inherits the
turn-based engine from Silent Storm. Players spend Action Points to perform
various actions in battle each turn, while the enemy does the same. The engine
also models realistic looking physics that feature ragdoll animations, bullet
ricochet, and destructible environments. As for available equipment, there are
90 weapons and variants that can be found or bought.
