Hammer & Sickle Reviews

A couple more reviews for CDV and Nival Interactive's Hammer & Sickle surfaced on the web earlier this week. The first is at Houston Vehicles with an overall score of 3.5/5:
There are a lot of things that need to be cleared up with Hammer & Sickle and hopefully it will be done soon as this title really has the potential to be the definitive turn-based strategy game. The RPG element only enhances everything you've ever known about turn-based strategy, and the very ballsy AI helpers. Long load times, the inability to retreat to another map until all enemies are dead and a few other odd problems, Hammer & Sickle is still a solid game and will entertain for house.

And the second is at GamerFeed with an overall score of 2.5/5:
There are many, many places this game succeeds. The visuals, the tone, the concept... these are all so great they could be the cornerstones for game-of-the-year material. Sadly, the rest of the game has so many problems that these amazing features end up being just enough to hold the game together. Turn-based, hard-core strategy nuts could find a great deal to love here, if they are patient enough to dig for it.
