Brilliant remake of Panzer General from the 1990's

User Rating: 10 | Panzer Corps PC
By cptkremmen | Review Date:
This is a no excuses remake of panzer general. Apart from the obviously enhanced graphics it is about 98% identical to the original game.

Is this bad? No it's awesome, Panzer General did not need "fixing" it just needed re releasing.!

The 2% that has changed has changed for the good. An example, if you surround an opponents unit with several of your own units who have still got their shooting action for the turn left, you get a bonus when you attack. In the old panzer general you had to attack with one, then another then another, with no benefit for each attack. Although you still launch the attacks separately you get a bonus for each neighbouring unit, making outflanking and swamping that really tough enemy unit a viable (and realistic) tactic.

If you were a panzer general fan then I would say it is a no brainer, you MUST buy this game. If you are not ancient enough to have played the original game and are looking for a really interesting strategic WW2 game then look no further...
