Klotzen! Panzer Battles

The last mostly negative reviews about the game are posted here in August 2022. Unfortunately, little has changed since then. The first and most important is the GUI, this is something for really persistent and masochistic strategists :)))). For the experienced player I consider myself to be (about 2,000 hours in Order of Battle, several hundred hours in Panzer Corps 1,2, not to mention Unity of Command and other turn-based strategy games) this game has a very good potential but very convoluted and sometimes incomprehensible solutions. Mastering the interface and game mechanics related to it is too DIFFICULT and it leads to frustration, and yet such a game at a price of around $ 40 should It's supposed to be entertainment and relaxation, but unfortunately it's not. Also game crashes lead to using obscene words too often :) Good idea but a lot of WORK ahead of the developers of this game.

it is such a bad game, it really feels like the devs do not know what they are doing. it is all fixable but allot is not explained. It really feels like the devs failed to learn anything from panzer corps, order of battle and others turn based games.

Games fun. Worth a try.

I turned out enjoying this game a lot more then I expected. It's a panzer corp clone but has some really great features like a far better supply system, leadership changes and a series of fun campaigns. I would definitely recommend this to any hex warfare fan who can deal with the simple graphics and UI.

This game sucks I'm glad I only paid 12.00 for it. Game shuts down sends message jdk binery error

Caveat first: This game doesn't work on proton/steam deck due to using LWJGL2. I don't blame the devs for this, it just seems to be an unfortunate combintion of how they made the game, steam's linux runtime and the passage of time. [h1]Good[/h1] [b] Content/Price [/b]: Klotzen has a huge amount of historical German campaign content as well as several alt hist scenarios, including rare ones such as assaulting Gibraltar, with no DLC at all. It's more than worth the default price for that alone. [b] AI/Scenario balance [/b]: Unlike certain other games in the Panzer General clone genre, the AI is clever enough in putting its units to good use and punishing the player's mistakes that it doesn't need an ahistorically large amount of advanced units to roadblock the player. It's competent and well equipped, but doesn't waste your time or encourage save scumming. [b] Modding [/b]: Nothing too unusual for the genre, but Klotzen has a very powerful scenario editor and game files and saves are all in plain text, making modding and [i]emergency balance adjustments[/i] very simple. [b] Leadership [/b]: More of a personal preference, but I like that every unit has a unique leader tha…
