Strategic Mind The Pacific
Strategic Mind: The Pacific is a turn-based strategy set in the WW2 period depicting the war between the USA and the Empire of Japan waged in the Pacific Ocean with mindblowing historical accuracy and attention to detail.
It offers an immersive experience of commanding both sides of the conflict, allowing you to gain a unique understanding of the situation through the eyes of both sides top commanders, resulting in enjoyable and insightful gameplay.
Build up, train and equip your troops with the newest weaponry available to maximize their efficiency and set sail for victory. The core element of the game is large scale naval battles with numerous carrier ships bringing so much more aircraft into the battle for seizing the control over the ocean. Upon overtaking the sea you will have to set foot on hostile land through a series of costly landing operations.
You will have to make your naval, aerial and amphibious forces act as one flawless mechanism – a task only a truly strategic mind can achieve.
Key features:
- Play both sides of the conflict to gain unique insight into the epochal events of the War in the Pacific: the United States of America defending both its global power and its ideals; and the Empire of Japan fighting for the right to take the future of our world into its hands.
- You can decide which ships, submarines and aircraft will constitute the bulk of your force. Manage your fleet between missions with all models becoming available at the historically accurate moments.
- Unique system of attachments allows customizing your units with additional equipment to increase their efficiency and weave them perfectly into the strategy of your own division.
- Oversee your units becoming more experienced combatants throughout the campaign and choose which skills they should focus on to better suit your strategy.
- Detailed system of naval battles allows you to damage various ship systems, such as all sorts of armament, hull, engine, flight deck etc. For instance, damaging enemy ship`s engine will reduce its speed and thus all of its defenses making it easy prey for the rest of your flotilla.
- Choose which of the commander skills will better suit your strategy and employ them at the right moments to turn the tide of battle.
- Modern graphics combined with historically accurate models of all units make the playing experience much more immersive than ever before.
- Employ the heroes forged by the furnace of war for the most difficult tasks to ensure the success of the operation.
- Witness the events unfold through the plot driven cutscenes.
- Intricate combat mechanics allow you to show the full extent of your tactical and strategic superiority.
- No “premade DLC nonsense” and long-term support. You gain access to the two full campaigns when you buy the game with all the features. We are likely to make some additional content in the future, but we offer you the full game you can play without worrying about the need to buy any crucial DLCs. The game will be supported long-term in any case.
Strategic Mind The Pacific Review
This is an early access review of this game, which I will add to as I play through. I purchased and played Starni Games’ (SG) first game, Panzer Strategy, which is quite good. Therefore I felt comfortable purchasing this game in early access (something I have only done 2 times before). SG is quick to make updates, fix bugs, etc., and is responsive to the player community’s questions, complaints, input and requests.
The two SG games add complexity to the genre (e.g., Panzer Gereral, Panzer Corps, Order of Battle, etc., of which I own and have played all for thousands of hours). I particularly like SG’s take on the ability to upgrade your units as well as add different components to your units, which is quite innovative.
I played the first scenario of Strategic Mind: The Pacific, through once so far and I had a tough time of it. Even though I won on the last turn I lost most of my units, to include all but 3 of my core units. It took about 2.5 hours and I will have to replay it as I didn’t find the 3nd Japanese task force quickly enough and I lost several core units.
I did not run into any bugs (though I thought I did at first when my float plane disappeared the next turn, but that is actually explained as how it works). I did not see or find a way to set the difficulty, so I am not sure if it is available yet or not planned? Also, as mentioned in other threads, so far in early access you can only play the USA campaign, not the IJN campaign, which will be added at full release.
If you like this sort of game (turn-based, strategy, tactics, RPG leveling up units through a campaign of battle scenarios), and you liked Pacific General, then you will probably like this game as well.
