Ever heard of a publisher offering discounts of an un-released game through a companion app before? We haven't. But that's what Kalpyso Media is doing for Sudden Strike 4.
Think it's a little too pricey or a risk to dive in head-first with pre-orders? It's an idea that's been going around for years. But combating that to some degree comes Sudden Strike Quiz - a tie-in app for iOS and Android.
Available now through the marketplace of your mobile operating system of choice, it comes far before the launch of Sudden Strike 4. Still without a solid release date, the newest entry in the long-running RTS franchise isn't expected until sometime in the Spring - but Kalypso Media could end up offering a total or 25% off through the app and its current pre-purchase discount.

the app itself, as the name would suggest, presents itself a quiz tackling the trivia behind one of the bloodiest wars in our planet's history. Tackle the knowledge of your friends or pit your brain against strangers online in catagories like weapons, vehicles, dates, figureheads and geography in three frantic against-the-clock rounds to earn the medals that will, eventually, equate to another minor money save.
Budding historian? It could be a decent way to hammer in some quick facts while getting an historically accurate game for cheaper along the way. Uninterested in mobile gimmicks? Sudden Strike 4 is still looking mighty promising either way.
