Video Game Reviews of Panzer General
Customer Review: Still enjoyable
Summary: 5 Stars
I originally obtained this game in a bargain bin many years after its release. I really enjoyed it then. Just the past month I got it out again and stated playing. It does have good re-playability and there are ways to make it more challenging. The fact that I can keep playing it with enjoyment is why I give it 5 starts.
I have only played against the computer in campaign mode and not against another human.
The game is hexed based, non-realtime, in the syle of old board war games. It is at the large scale - battalions. Certainly the graphics and sound are simple by today's standards. But it is the strategy aspect why I play this game.
In the campaign game you play the Axis side in a sequence of battles taken from world war II history. The sequence is decided by the you level or success or failure in each scenario. If you do well enough you can invade England and even Washington D.C. You can play the Allied side, but only in individual scenario - not in the campaign game. You can also play a human player in individual scenarios, but not in the campaign.
The game has a type of money called prestige, which you earn based on performance. This is spent to reinforce depleted unit strength or to buy new units. There is a large mix of unit types and additional units become available as the campaign progresses. Each unit has it advantages and disadvantages - so it is up to you to find the ideal mix and usage.
I have the CD version and I can play in windows XP using win95 compatibility mode.
