Blitzkrieg: Blitzkrieg Ii
built 227 days ago
Blitzkrieg is the fine art of strategy: instead of blind hits with a huge club, you dissect the enemy with a thin blade of a sword! Halt the enemy’s position with strategic tank and air assaults. This will keep your relentless offensive rolling. Prove your tactical skills in historical battles of World War II all around the globe. You command German, Soviet or allied troops, which will gain experience and fight more effectively over the course of the war. As you progress, you will obtain access to the latest technology of warfare.

Successful series generate sequels, so the appearance of Blitzkrieg II is no surprise. The question is: how much progress does it represent over its predecessor? A beta copy has some tantalizing hints but yields no definitive answers.

New graphics engine and significant step over the original game get you in control of the most dramatic and bloody conflict of the past century.

Blitzkrieg II departs from the beaten path when it comes to starting campaigns. The German campaign begins after the Ardennes breakthrough in the Ardennes in 1940. This approach is fascinating because some commentators feel the French could have made the Wehrmacht bleed more than it did. Is a battle in Paris possible? The American campaign begins on a depressing note. The player is defending a beach on Bataan against waves of Japanese landing craft supported by overwhelming air power.

Blitzkrieg may seem like a difficult game to start playing. It's another European 2D real-time strategy game set in World War II, like the Sudden Strike series. It isn't particularly flashy, and it doesn't have any especially innovative features or revolutionary concepts. It's ... rather unpolished. But while the game may not make a very remarkable first impression, it does have some strong gameplay elements that give it some real substance and help make it deserving of your attention.
