Evaluation
Blitzkrieg 3 launched on June 2, 2017 and received a handful of content updates and patches through late 2017, including new missions and feature patches. In October 2022, Nival announced the game was transitioning to an offline-only version, and on December 14, 2022, the online servers were permanently shut down. A final bug fix patch was released on February 21, 2023, addressing launcher and offline mode connection issues — this is the last recorded developer communication. No further content has been announced, no unreleased DLC exists, and the single DLC listed (the Digital Deluxe Edition Upgrade) has been available since 2015. The game now operates solely in offline mode with all content delivered. Development is complete.

A Neural Network machine named Boris plays at the top player’s level while not using any hidden information about the enemy. General Boris regularly analyzes the gaming session and makes Neural Network-based predictions of the enemy behavior. This approach allows him to think up sophisticated counter-strategies and bring them to life. That makes Boris tough and unpredictable, so he can amaze you over and over again.

Dominate on the battlefield in three atmospheric historical campaigns, that cover the main period of World War II: from the invasion of Poland in 1939 to the triumphant capture of Berlin in 1945. Choose your side of the conflict - USSR, Axis or Allies! Take command over your forces and win the legendary battles of World War II, that were created from archival materials on historically accurate maps. The best strategists will get additional rewards for perfectly cleared missions!

You will lead more than 200 authentic combat units into battle. All of them were developed based on historical technical characteristics - more than 100 models of armored vehicles and self-propelled guns, 40 different types of infantry and assault squads and variety of different fortifications and defenses. Each unit has performance characteristics reconstructed in detail, such as fire rate, armored capture, field of vision and others that let you feel like a real commander. Assemble and train your army and form your own squads to complete the missions.

Use every opportunity to defeat the enemy: consider features of the landscape, weather conditions and viewing ranges of different types of forces to carry out the most daring tactical operations. Attack the enemy when he doesn't expect it. Use stealthy scouts and place infantry in the trenches, fortifications, pillboxes and even civilian buildings!
