Reviews:

The Adrenaline Vault by Rob Beschizza

"Blitzkrieg is a respectable title that casts aside economic fancying around in favor of grindstone tactical combat in World War II Europe. That's the limit of its ambition but not its sweep, which is as comprehensive as an encyclopedia. If it moved between 1935 and 1945 and contained an internal combustion engine, it's probably hidden somewhere amid Blitzkrieg's three campaigns for you to command. This accurate and completist approach is matched by a stout gameplay dynamic that makes for a fine, workmanlike offering. This is matched in other areas, such as graphics and sound, which meet expectations without being outrageously impressive or imposing.

"In short, Blitzkrieg is a must-buy for World War II buffs or those who want a straightforward and realistic RTS that demands tactical prowess and no city management skills whatsoever."
