Strategic Mind: Fight for Freedom

"Strategic Mind: Fight for Freedom" is a somewhat poorly made turn based tactical game set (loosely) in some version of WW2. The game has you moving units like bombers, infantry, tanks etc around a hex based map to achieve various objectives while your enemy tries to stop you. Okay. It's been done before, a lot, and a lot better than this. While there's one glaring technical issue, the key problem here is just the game design. The missions and factions aren't respresented properly. The game is badly balanced and the scenarios don't make sense and don't play well. The visuals are very deceptive here and the rest of the game doesn't match. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. While the graphics look okay, the developer weirdly decided to lock the number of resolution options you can get... now, if you have a modern GPU, you'll probably get a bunch of superresolution options (to render the game at a higher resolution than your monitor... brute forcing AA if you like), and these are the only options that appear, because the developer decided there's no need for you to scroll through the resolutions available to you. The upshot? You can't set the game to your monitor native resolution. Now, if you're gaming on a CRT, that's fine... but come on, everyone uses a fixed resolution LCD or OLED monitor nowadays. That kind of screwup from the developer isn't acceptable. There's also no UI scaling, so if you are forced into a superresolution, you can't scale the text back up. Not cool. This game features a number of suspicious, likely fake positive reviews. The reviews all appear at almost exactly the same time, very shortly after the game launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the game, and all have very similar wording and writing style, in Russian and English. Immediately after this huge peak of reviews, reviews (and player counts) for the game dropped incredibly sharply. This is highly unusual given the very low quality of the game and poor player counts. The "Positive" review score on this game should be taken with a large grain of salt.This might have been done to deceive/mislead gamers into paying for a bad product. The "Positive" review score on this game should be taken with a large grain of salt. So, should you buy this game? Is this one of the best of the 100,000+ games on Steam? "Strategic Mind: Fight for Freedom" has the utterly unrealistic price of $40 (that's right, AAA priced, FOURTY DOLLARS), for which you could easily get any number of older AAA games. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, and the questionable ethical nature of the developer and/or their associates (as outlined above), this is impossible to recommend. For comparison, the $40 asking price for this game could get you games like "Euro Truck Simulator 2", "Assetto Corsa" or "Mass Effect 2"... or pretty much any AAA game if you're willing to wait for a sale. That's just insulting pricing. Quality, professionally made games like those are frequently on sale cheaper than this.

游戏非常精致，但数值过于草率，如果steam有中评我会选择中评，但考虑到这十几小时坐的牢，我选择给差评。 一是本游戏平衡非常糟糕，牵引式反坦克炮的性能做的跟坨史一样，不仅机动慢、射程短、伤害低、防御低，价格也不低。实在是搞不懂为什么反坦克炮不能人力在城市森林里拉，唯一的亮点支援火力也被坦克的 坦克前线 技能薄纱，以及像是自行火炮完全优于火炮，重型坦克完全优于中型坦克之类的问题就不提了 二是后期实在坐牢，本游戏的战场规模与历史的规模完全无关，几乎只取决于游戏进程，越到后期战场规模会逐渐越来越大，一回合可能得花个十几分钟，并且大部分时间都是在操作非核心单位打各种绞肉坐牢，打个突尼斯跟打斯大林格勒一样，诺曼底登陆反而像小打小闹，一群防御力超高的28地面防御雅利安超人蹲在北非的大街小巷里，绝大部分单位打上去全是0伤害，这意味着想要消灭这些雅利安超人要么使用轰炸机移平，要么使用英雄步兵肃清，然而游戏还贴心的为你设定了基建损伤限制任务，轰炸机的攻击会损伤基建导致只能使用英雄步兵打，然而硕大的战场放眼望去我只却只能有一个英雄步兵，而大街小巷里的雅利安超人却无穷无尽，切断补给也不会降低他们任何防御力，仅仅只是没有子弹失去进攻能力，然后跟坨石头一样拦在每一个关键补给点上，保卢斯直呼他要是有这种步兵，他能守斯大林格勒守到老 三是本游戏糟糕的UI，像是本游戏特色的装备系统以及升级技能，这些本应该是直接显示在主页面的东西，你却需要点击详情信息才能查看，再搭配史一样的大战场和一大堆压根不认识的非核心军队，每场战斗都需要大量操作只是为了去检查他们的装备技能 四是毫无逻辑的寻路机制，部队从A到B的路线仅会固执的一条路走到底，尽管途中有敌人的火力支援导致被拦截，尽管另一条路的距离是完全一样的，他们也不愿意去变更路径，而是固执的一头撞上敌人的火力支援 不过不得不说前期确实非常有趣，只不过到后期的大战场以及逆天绞肉实在是让人高兴不起来

Wasn't going to buy any more SM games but this was on a massive discount and needed to be to be worth buying All SM games are the same more puzzles than strategy The enemy spawns on at x turn or x trigger even if that means spawning a army right in the middle of your own army way behind the front line or in worse case scenarios they spawn around on even on your air base and if you haven't got the fuel to make it to a different one then that's it you just lost potentially your entire airforce It's just lazy work from the devs to save them actually making the game challenging , so be prepared to play a mission multiple times to see the spawn points , turn they happen or the trigger for them then replay it for a easy win with that knowledge The voice acting is a mixed bag from terrible to passable, often you'll get Russian accents on English generals and mispronounced words aplenty The heroes are hilariously OP, air heroes with the over run trait can easily take 3-5 AI squadrons out on the first turn and by the 2-3 missions you'll have 2 of those heroes The land or sea heroes are just as OP Very simplistic units, eg fighters just have a air attack value none are better vs tac bomber or strategic bombers or fighters like you would expect They do have a very nice slots idea where you add up to 3 different items to a unit, transport , flamethowers, mortars, radar and much more and each class gets some unique items But don't buy expecting the finesse of Order of battle this is more arcadey a even more dumbed down version of panzer corps2 where 2 or 3 OP heroes can win a massive battle on their own if you wanted to It's close to being really good but let down by a lack of thought to finishing touches All that said it's a worth 40 to 60 hrs and can be modded easily(unplayable for me unless modded) They seem to have learnt a lesson with this game and stayed away from expressing extreme right wing views in the side missions or cut scenes but only played the British missions for now so time will tell

"Strategic Mind: Fight for Freedom"? More like "I'm Losing My Mind: Fight for Sanity"

在苏联没有主动发起进攻和挑衅的前提下，违背条约占领城市，随后给苏联扣上极权主义帽子，对东柏林波兰进行攻击，又拉拢法西斯余孽指挥对苏联本土的攻击，我一时间不知道这是在黑谁。某人说贵国的人多少带点纳，现在看起来确有其事啊

All things considered, Strategic Mind is the best operational/tactical representation of units I've experienced. Weakest point is air play- Apparently in an attempt to allow fighters to intercept intruding aircraft, your antiaircraft units can "freeze" enemy aircraft in mid air (unless they are fighters that have used extra fuel to penetrate). The lethal tactical bombers force you to always cover your units with AA artillery.

Seit "War in the South Pacific" auf dem C64 spiele ich Strategiespiele. Also schon sehr lange. Ich habe gute und schlechte Titel gespielt. Dieser gehört in Gänze zu den sehr schlechten. Ich kann nicht verstehen, wie man im 21Jhdt. noch so etwas auf den Markt bringt. Das Spiel ist unübersichtlich, extrem langsam vom Ablauf und kaum spielbar durch eine fürchterliche KI. Spart das Geld.

great game

Kolejna gra z serii Strategic Mind. Stopien trudnosci nie jest tak przegiety jak w Pacyfiku. Balans rozgrywki jednak nadal nie jest mocna strona tworcow. Co jeszcze wymaga poprawy: - voice acting - brak podgladu jednostek, ktore w turze nie wykonaly ruchu - pogoda i pory dnia powinny byc opcjonalne. Deszcz czy burze piaskowa wplywaja tylko na psucie wzroku gracza, a nie dodaja wartosci rozgrywce. Ikonka pogody wystarczy. - jednostki wykonuja zbedne piruety zamiast wybierac optymalna droge do celu Edit: Kampanie sa dwie: brytyjska i amerykanska. Najbardziej podobaly mi sie ostatnie misje w kampanii USA - w 1946r juz po wojnie. Najpierw wywalenie ruskich z Niemiec, a potem wyzwolenie Polski! Szkoda, ze prawdziwa historia tak sie nie potyczyla
