Panzer Corps: Wehrmacht is a computer wargame developed by Lordz Games Studio and Flashback Games, and published by Slitherine Software for Windows, iOS, and macOS. A sequel, Panzer Corps 2, was released in March 2020.

Gameplay

Panzer Corps is a turn-based strategic wargame played on a hex grid.[4] It covers World War II from the German perspective.[4]

Release

Before Panzer Corps, lead designer Alex Shargin made a Panzer General fan remake, Panzer General Forever.[5] Panzer Corps was announced on 2 December 2010. It was described as similar to Panzer General series.[6] An iPad version was scheluded for third quarter of 2012 but it was delayed to December 2013.[7][3] Panzer Corps Gold was released on 6 October 2016. It includes the main game and 17 expansion packs.[8] A macOS port was released on 4 May 2017.[9]

The PC and iOS versions received "favourable" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[10][11] Many compared the PC version to the Panzer General series. 4Players gave it a favorable review while it was still in development.[12]

Daniel Shannon of GameSpot summarized: "Panzer Corps is a great turn-based strategic wargame that captures Panzer General's deep and involving classic gameplay."[4] Tim Stone of PC Gamer UK said that the only negative aspect of the game was the steep price since there was "free fan-made versions of Panzer General 2 available".[5] Luke Plunkett of Kotaku called it "one of the best strategy games you can get on the PC" in 2014.[17]
