With over 80 missions and 15 multiplayer maps, players can enjoy creating their own single missions or campaigns. Players can command German, American and Russian World War 2 armies, taking charge of more than 250 types of historically accurate units, including 60 types of ground infantry. World War II is taken into full 3D with stunning visual effects to display all the battlefield action and glory.
The headline says what it reads and it doesn't lie either: the ultimate strategy war package, Blitzkrieg 2 Anthology, has been confirmed for release in 2008 encompassing all three Blitzkrieg 2 games.Ī short summary for each game can be found below, as provided by Ascaron Entertainment (distributor) themselves: Given that you can pick up the original Blitzkrieg 2 for a fiver, and that Company of Heroes has wowed all in its path, this is a series that increasingly looks stuck in the past.Blitzkrieg should really try to keep a cool temper at the sound of this announcement as they might hurt themselves badly in the process of jumping up and down from excitement. Different circumstances perhaps, but you have the same units doing the same things on the same terrain with the same strategy required as in other Blitzkrieg games. The problem is that this standalone expansion' does absolutely nothing that hasn't been done before. Panzer IVs and T-34s roll about in a convincing way and the units all do what they're told without any display of inanity. That there are so many units to play with if you choose to play as the Germans is surprising too - they seem far better equipped and motivated in this game than the history books would suggest.ĭour authenticity aside, Fall Of The Reich is a very competent strategy game, where unit placement and timing are absolutely crucial. Set during the final months of WWII on the Eastern Front, the game gives you a stack of units to nudge around and it's up to you to make best use of them.
It's also a game that, on first play-through, seems to have barely evolved since Sudden Strike arrived on the radar back in 1999. Like its predecessor and countless other add-ons, Fall Of The Reich is another game that features the words historical' and 'authentic' on the back of the box.
