War games fans get ready: Blitzkrieg
has arrived
This game smells like « old-school » war
games (Allied general, Panzer general,…)
Ce jeu nous ramène aux jeux de stratégie
« old school »du type de allied ou panzer général.
At the time, the palm was not even there, but until
there is little, one was far from imagining possible that this type of play
unloads on our beautiful machines.
Today, it is done thanks to Playtek.
Concretely, Blitzkrieg is a strategy game (with a turn
system) whose action is during the second world war.
Scenarii :

Once the
launched play, you have access to different predefined scenario. If you registered your game, you have access
to everything otherwise, you can all test, but only some turns.
If you have
access to all, 11 scenario are offered to you, they are various duration some
last very long and moreover new (and free) scenario will come for the end of
the month!
As the
duration of each scenario is large, the save function will help you more than
one once (end of way in the train or exhausted battery).
Mode of
play:
The play
proceeds with the turn by turn, you move your units according to their points
of displacements (from 3 to 6) and you attack if points of attack are still
available (it is necessary that your unit was supplied). From the point of view of the units there is
also plethora, here is an example:

With each
turn, you manage your displacements and your attacks and the IA between then concerned. Large weak point of many game of this type,
here, not of concern, the IA acts correctly and does not cease improving!
The
objectives are laid down at the beginning of each scenario, they consist of the
catch of key city which grant you each turn points of victory (which you can
spend in order to reinforce or to buy news units).
The units
are numerous and one takes pleasure to manage tactics according to the initial
provision and of the capacities of each one (it will be noted that the initial
provisions are well envisaged and offer each time an amusing and balanced
challenge).
To
note: each scenario proposes a point of
information on the general context of the mission, small quite sympathetic
insofar as each mission is drawn from real historical facts.
From the
point of view of the parameters taken into account, they are many and
traditional: the experiment, the moral
one and no-claims bonus of defense or attack:

A
complete play thus!
Graphics:
To as saw
you with the length of the foregoing photographs, they are superb! Two levels of zoom are present to give you a
precise or general outline battle field.
The landscapes are superb and the pleasant colors, it is a true pleasure
of playing this play.
Playability:
How to
say if not that it is almost perfect! The
units move via the stylus, a contextual menu relating to each unit is present
(with in particular the possibility of reinforcing such or such unit) and the
general menu makes it possible to save the play, to reinforce all the units in
once or to modify the general preferences of the play (its, posting of the
movements of the IA...).
Conclusion:
Blitzkrieg
is the simulation game that everyone waited.
It is
complete, splendid and turns on all the recent models (I tested it on my Zire
71 and 72, on Zire 71 it is necessary to wait a little bit to make it possible
the IA to achieve its turn, but this time does not cease decreasing
progressively with the improvement of the routines of the play by the
programmers).
The
lifespan is immense with the 11 scenario gild and already present, the
additional futures scenario (free!) and the editor of scenario for Windows
(also free).
In short:
Pros:
-
true
play of the type "war game to the turn by turn"
-
many
scenario
-
superb
graphics
-
impeccable
durability and IA
Cons:
-
Euh,
honestly, I do not see (ah, if, it is necessary to like this type of game J)
