The Panzer Corps series is a collection of turn-based strategy games that build upon the gameplay of the classic Panzer General franchise originally released in 1994. Developed by Flashback Games and Matrix Games, the Panzer Corps titles allow players to experience some of the major military campaigns of World War II from either the Axis or Allied perspectives.
The core game mechanics involve moving military units across historically-inspired maps and scenarios, with terrain and supply lines impacting the effectiveness of various infantry, armor, airpower, and naval assets at your command. Units gain experience over time, allowing upgrades and specializations for greater efficiency against enemy forces. The campaign progression and starting parameters for each scenario are influenced by how well you performed in previous missions.
The original Panzer Corps was released in 2011, with expansions and sequels adding new campaigns focused on different regions and time periods of WWII, including Operation Barbarossa on the Eastern Front, the North African desert campaign, and the Allied invasion of Western Europe after D-Day. More recent titles in the series such as Panzer Corps 2 (2019) have enhanced graphics, added new environmental conditions to contend with, and expanded multiplayer capabilities.
The Panzer Corps series appeals to fans of in-depth yet accessible WWII strategy titles, with greater customization and replayability than the original Panzer General games. The historical setting and platoon-style control also provides a distinct experience compared to more modern RTS franchises. With numerous campaigns simulating pivotal moments across different WWII theatres, Panzer Corps offers a granular and realistic war gaming experience for armchair generals.
