About Klotzen! Panzer Battles
Klotzen! Panzer Battles, is a World War 2 turn based operational strategy game set in Europe and North Africa. Made with passion by strategy gamers, it was designed with replayability and challenge in mind.
Intuitive and easy to start, it offers a classic gameplay experience for Panzer General lovers.
Execute enveloping maneuvers by taking key towns and cutting off roads and railroads to disable large groups of enemy units quickly using our unique supply system. Just remember that this is a double-edged sword which AI will use expertly against you.
Flexible AI that leaves room for mistakes in lower settings and detects local and strategic mistakes and exploits them on highest difficulties. Learn to protect your exposed units, objectives and supply or let AI help you remember.
Use your air force as never before – bomb enemy supply and vital bridges, mount air offensives by attacking airfields to achieve quick air superiority, or swarm the skies and strafe exposed enemy ground units during their move.
Dig fortifications and lay minefields, blow up bridges or repair them using dedicated engineering units.
Offering large branching campaign, random events for campaign and each scenario, massive customization options both for the whole army and each unit individually, it gives the best replayability in the genre.
Lead your core units through historical operations, unexpected events taking you to new battles and what-if maps in a massive branching campaign with over 60 scenarios.
Lead separate core unit groups in east and west. Create unique generals to lead them by choosing between four personality types, each with unique flaws and skills. Customize your generals to brown-nose their way to cheap equipment, or shape them into inspiring leaders or careful ready-for-anything planners.
Experience the thrill of each hit in naval battles. See mighty battleships blow up after being hit in the magazine or sit helplessly in the water after having a rudder disabled with our new naval combat system.
Use superior morale to gain the advantage over disheartened enemy.
Choose from over 700 unique beautifully rendered unit types.
Create your own scenarios using included editor.
Play with a friend on our servers or at home in hotseat mode.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
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.6 found this helpful
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.5 found this helpful
Games fun. Worth a try.4 found this helpful
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.2 found this helpful

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…
