Panzer Corps

Panzer Corps

Because you are nostalgic for Panzer General.

Overview

Panzer Corps is a pure turn based strategy game set in World War 2. The battlefield is a hex grid. For the most part, only one unit can be in a hex. You have core units, which gain xp and become more powerful over the course of a campaign. You can purchase reinforcements and heal your units during a scenario. There are multiple levels of victory possible for each scenario, mostly dependent on how quickly you achieve the objectives.

Fun Factor

I have nothing to complain about, really. The game is pretty easy to learn, but has a lot of subtlety. There are a lot of turn based strategy games out there but I can't think of any that are as pure as Panzer Corps. It is even true to the spirit of Panzer General. Still, it doesn't grab me. Maybe I am jaded to the genre as a whole? Maybe I need something more going on? Or maybe I wasn't in the right frame of mind when I was playing.

Should You Buy It?

If you want a WW2 turn based strategy game, then yes. Panzer Corps has a wide appeal for the genre although complete newcomers or veterans might not be satisfied.
