Silent Storm (Russian: Операция Silent Storm) is a tactical role-playing game for Microsoft Windows, developed by Russian developer Nival Interactive and published by Jowood in 2003. The game is set in World War II Europe. The player commands a team of up to six elite soldiers on the Axis or Allied side, undertaking a variety of missions. An advanced game engine, the Silent Storm engine, was developed for the game and reused in several later titles. The game was followed by Silent Storm: Sentinels in 2004; and a third game taking place in the same setting, Hammer & Sickle, was co-developed by Novik&Co and released in 2005. A Gold edition containing both the original game and the expansion was released in Europe later that same year.
