Fans de stratégie, amateurs de "Wargames", affutez vos stylets, Blietzkrieg est arrivé

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)
