### 4/5 — Love/hate relationship in 2021

*2021-12-27, version 1.30*

This is still an amazingly engrossing game and one of the best strategy games on the iPad….but it is sooo old.  Time for a refresh and optimization for newer devices.

### 4/5 — Is my go-to WWII turned based strategy game

*2018-10-28, version 1.30*

Update: Is it time for a rewrite, or something, to speed the game up on the newer devices like the iPad Pros. The game is getting tedious, waiting on it. 
——
After playing close to a dozen other WWII games, Panzer Corps has become my go-to WWII strategy game. The closest I think maybe Open General.

Review titled, "Just gets worse...", they are incorrect about no easy way to contact the developer. Just use the developer web site link provided by the Apple App Store and go to the bottom of the page. Click on the Contact Us link. That said, they are not always fast in responding on the rare occasion that I needed support.

### 4/5 — Good game, easy to get into

*2017-09-27, version 1.30*

Title says it all.  It engaging if you like historical operational strategy games.

### 5/5 — mini 4, iOS 10.x

*2016-12-10, version 1.30*

Thanks for the continued support, devs. I have learned of Slitherine's decision to shift its focus away from iOS at some point in the near future. I just hope that you maintain the existing apps, especially Panzer Corps, after making the change. And please release a Steam version of Panzer Corps that works with Macs. It's long overdue. ***EDIT: Thanks for the continued support and for releasing the new "lite" version. Now more people can sample the goods before buying.

### 3/5 — Lacks value

*2016-08-19, version 1.29*

This game has good graphics and mimics the original PC game. There are still balance issues in this game. I think the German units are weaker then they should be. My biggest problem with this is that to play this game fully you would have to pay more than a top, new release video game and that is not a value.
Too much cost of in-app-purchases and you have already paid more then the majority of iPad games to start.

### 5/5 — 5-star game

*2016-05-06, version 1.27*

This is an awesome game for which I have played many an hour, but recently for no apparent reason the game randomly stopped awarding prestige on many of the objectives. Sadly this is a game-breaking bug.  I hope it gets fixed soon.

UPDATE - Latest update fixed bug.  Back to 5 Stars.  If you like turn-based war games then this is the game to get.

### 5/5 — Best iPad game I have ever played

*2016-03-25, version 1.26*

I have been playing this game for over a year and unlike all other iPad games, I have not stopped playing this one. The sheer amount of depth in the DLC and the game itself have allowed me to spend 100s of hours perfecting my armchair tactical command skills. The game's story campaign is fun, and perfectly balances increasing difficulty and freedom of strategy. The DLC is truly were the game comes into its own. I highly recommend the Grand Campaign pack, it's high upfront cost is a great investment. Since it took me around 40 hours to complete years 39-45 on the easiest difficulty setting. Once your tanks get rolling, supported by infantry, artillery, and aircraft, you'll feel unstoppable. Try out the story campaign and know that you are only skimming the surface of what this game has to offer.

### 5/5 — The King of iPad Strategy Games

*2015-04-14, version 1.23*

Panzer Corps is really an updated version of SSI’s CLASSIC Panzer General PC game from the 1990s but Panzer Corps gives us more of everything that made PG a classic. Fully modernized from the beautiful new unit graphics to the silky smooth user interface this game is a masterpiece. The amazing thing is that the iPad version retains all of the functionality of the PC version (except a scenario editor). There are tons of additional scenarios and battle packs available and you can move game saves back and forth between the iPad and the PC (which is fantastic). I’ve played this game since the original in the 90s and I’ve never tired of it so the replay value is obviously very high. This game is a longtime classic for so many good reasons. Easily one of the very best strategy titles available on the iPad.

I believe Slitherline's Warhammer Armageddon uses the Panzer Corp engine. I’d love to see an iPad port of that spectacular game.

### 5/5 — Good could be great

*2014-10-12, version 1.23*

Great job, very very close to original panzer general game! Two improvements to get it closer:
1. I should be able to delete core units (example infantry) and switch it to panzer or delete fighter add bomber, etc. this was a feature of the original
2. I should be able to change the name of core units eg 6th panzer to Panzer  Lehr . again a feature of orig pg.

### 5/5 — Real WW2 Strategy for iPad!

*2014-10-07, version 1.23*

I have been frustrated by the lack of depth in the offerings from the App Store for real strategy games, much less anything historically based. This game overcomes that with room to spare. 

The campaigns are historically based and very detailed. The A/I will actually think and plan strategy that will test you, and the changing difficulty levels work for casual and experienced players. The additional in-app purchases are huge and allow for many more scenarios than just the vanilla version. 

A couple of thoughts for Slitherine- with the new iPhone 6 I would love to see this available on the new phones as well as iPad. 

If you are concerned about the $20 price tag and wondering if it's worth it- take the plunge, it is!

### 1/5 — Ruined by reporting

*2022-01-26, version 1.30*

This is worse than a casino. The odds calculations are just outright lies, because the game”s implementation of combat outcomes as an “average” doesn’t align with what any normal human uses the word “average” to mean. The random factors are so stupendously outrageous, that you assume the system is cheating. I get one-in-a-thousand results every fifth combat. I might be llying in that claim, but that would give you the same feeling you get watching what happens in rcombats against what the combat reports say should happen. It’s so laughable, until you just get bored and annoyed by it.
So, a lovely game, with complexity galore, totally and utterly ruined by the reporting system it uses. So sad.

### 1/5 — No audio

*2020-11-07, version 1.30*

No audio on iPad Air 4. Unacceptable.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2019-12-26, version 1.30*

I had hoped to recreate the great memories of playing Panzer General 2.  This is a less elegant, less playable bottom of the barrel facsimile of PG2.  I wasted money and time on this product.

### 1/5 — Game crashes & No Support from Slitherine

*2018-08-08, version 1.30*

Over the years have had to purchase and then re-purchase this monstrosity. The company wanted to blame my up-to-date iPad with plenty of storage instead of working to refund or give me some credit after spending $60 avoid avoid AVOID!

### 1/5 — Just gets worse..Some campaigns don't load, hot seat doesn't work

*2016-04-01, version 1.26*

I've now found 4 scenarios in which you are always the axis player even if you choose allied or hot seat. For  this kind of money, all this should be flawless. In US campaigns, 1944, D-Day won't load.....just goes back to the opening screen for new game, load game, multiplayer, etc.....REALLY disappointed....this WAS one of my favorite games.

And there is no easy way to contact tech support. I love these kind of games, and most of the competing games actually have an easy way to contact them. AND I get emails back from the developer(s).

Not so hear....$80 or so invested, and I'm just SOL I guess.

### 2/5 — No Panzer General

*2021-08-02, version 1.30*

At first I thought this was a great reboot of the old P.G. game. But once you start playing the German side you realize that the fix is in. No matter how good you do in the scenarios you cannot beat Russia. In the battle for Moscow, you can take the city but the following scenario you have to retreat back, never to follow up and retake the city. In the old Panzer General and all the proceeding P.G. updated games you can. You can take Moscow as early as 41 if you choose to or as late as 43. But this Panzer Corps no matter how successful you are, you find yourself retreating back to Berlin. At least with the old P.G. game you can alter history. Also, if you are following the scenario base from 39 and up you can’t transfer over to  42\43 West with your whole Army. After you finish 41 you are stuck fighting in the Eastern Front, in a un-winnable war. Save your money and don’t waste it on this poor replacement to the once great Panzer General. Hopefully P.C. 2 will be better, but I doubt it

### 2/5 — Poor Balancing

*2018-12-15, version 1.30*

If you are going to steal someone else’s idea at least make an attempt at doing a good job of it.
This game has terrible balancing. 
The easiest setting is too easy and the very next setting is too much of a jump in difficulty. Not to mention, there is no point to building up your army if when certain scenarios come around you are forced to leave behind a huge chunk of that very same army.
It completely defeats the purpose of building up an army to begin with.

I know you people at Slitherine don’t give a crap about your customers but you should really upgrade this and fix these issues.

You all must think it’s cute living up to your namesake.

### 2/5 — Review for US Corps Expansion

*2016-05-29, version 1.28*

A much more detailed US campaign, this provides many of the extras found in the German Grand campaign that makes it so much fun.  Things like: non-hex based objectives, the ability to bring over your core from one campaign to the next, and little "surprises" you don't see in Allied Corps.  These are all welcome additions.

However, I had expected graphical and stat mistakes to be fixed from Allied Corps.  Most egregious, the graphics for the M4A1 and M4 A3 still show them with long 76mm barrel.  Also there are non-sensical stat differences between them, all should be the same.  The AT rating of the M3 Lee is too low, ignoring the 75mm gun completely.

Seriously, take a peek at how a game like Flames of War has statted these vehicles and at least be consistent in a relative manner.

If you're looking for more of the same quality campaigns from this series you won't be disappointed.  If you're looking for graphical and stat mistakes to b fixed you'll be disappointed.

### 3/5 — Amazing Game but SLOWWWWWW

*2020-10-07, version 1.30*

Great game but it is unbelievably slow at times. The large campaigns are often unplayable.

### 3/5 — Great war game, needs iPad 11” support

*2019-10-11, version 1.30*

Great war game with lots of content. Needs an update to take advantage of 11” screen.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Over and over

*2020-11-24, version 1.30*

I’ve had this game for years; I play it over and over again. Awesome.  Please please port PG2 to iPad

### 5/5 — Update

*2020-10-01, version 1.30*

Love the game but needs updates

### 5/5 — Best WW2 Strategy Game!

*2020-05-12, version 1.30*

Warning... this game is addictive! If your enjoy turn-based strategy games, more specifically those grounded in military history, this is your game.  I have played so many strategy games over the years, but none have yet matched Panzer Corps. My only regret is that they haven’t added anything new for the iPad in years.  I wish there was new content, campaigns and scenarios.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2019-08-30, version 1.30*

Would be great if you can do to the old “China General” game that was similar to this.

### 5/5 — Really Incredible!

*2019-08-30, version 1.30*

I’ve been a historical war game enthusiast for over 55 years—from the first days of Avalon Hill! I’m not a computer geek & use an ipad pro. 

This game is really amazing—the first big breakthrough for ios users in this area.  The graphics are great, and it’s fairly easy to learn on a basic level.  It’s ability to recreate both strategy and tactics is impressive.  With its dozens of scenarios and campaigns and skill levels for opponents, it’s hard to imagine ever running out of challenges.  

This is what we dreamed of happening some day as well moved and piled those small little chits around on hexboards and calculated all those battle odds! Here it is! 

I could go on and on.  Words beggar description.

### 5/5 — One of the Greatest Games ever made!

*2019-02-11, version 1.30*

Top 10 all time strategy/war game! Tons of fun. Faithful to the original Panzer General on PC. Literally decades of playability. Now if they could just port the original X-Com over to IPad!!

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2018-08-10, version 1.30*

I have played this for many years, first on iPad mini (original) and now on the latest iPad. It’s fantastic and they’ve done a great job porting the game from PC to have an extremely good user interface.  Going back to the original Panzer General, this ranks among the best hex war games of all time.

### 5/5 — A spiritual successor to the Panzer General series

*2017-12-13, version 1.30*

One of the best strategy games comes to the iPad. This is a must buy if you loved the old Panzer General series. I was waiting for this to be released for the Mac but am very satisfied at this iOS version. I hope more strategy games of this caliber is released on the iPad.

### 5/5 — Finally a great Dynamic game without getting your$

*2017-01-13, version 1.30*

Finally a great dynamic game that doesn't do "Pay-to-Play" love game creators like that. Just pure fun. Adjustable AI response, level, more "prestige to you." Just a perfect game. No need for internet connection to play. Well worth my money. Thank You. Will buy the expansion pack. Note: IOS 7.1 is non responsive though. Had to update my Ios to play

### 5/5 — Panzer Corp

*2016-12-10, version 1.30*

Fantastic!  I have spent many hours playing this game. I am a traditional hex board gamer.
