Gameplay

Panzer Corps is a turn-based strategic wargame played on a hex grid. [4] It covers World War II from the German perspective. [4]

Release

Before Panzer Corps, lead designer Alex Shargin made a Panzer General fan remake, Panzer General Forever. [5] Panzer Corps was announced on 2 December 2010. It was described as similar to Panzer General series. [6] An iPad version was scheluded for third quarter of 2012 but it was delayed to December 2013. [7] [3] Panzer Corps Gold was released on 6 October 2016. It includes the main game and 17 expansion packs. [8] A macOS port was released on 4 May 2017. [9]

Reception

The PC and iOS versions received "favourable" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. [10] [11] Many compared the PC version to the Panzer General series. 4Players gave it a favorable review while it was still in development. [12]

Daniel Shannon of GameSpot summarized: "Panzer Corps is a great turn-based strategic wargame that captures Panzer General's deep and involving classic gameplay." [4] Tim Stone of PC Gamer UK said that the only negative aspect of the game was the steep price since there was "free fan-made versions of Panzer General 2 available". [5] Luke Plunkett of Kotaku called it "one of the best strategy games you can get on the PC" in 2014. [17]
