Evaluation

Codename: Panzers, Phase One is a remaster of a classic World War II real-time strategy game, released on Steam on February 18, 2016 by THQ Nordic. The store description explicitly frames it as a remaster package — fully updated for modern systems, with all patches included and multiplayer re-implemented. This language ("all patches included") signals that the game was brought to market as a complete, finished product rather than a live game receiving ongoing updates. The only DLC available is the game's soundtrack, which was released on the same day as the game itself. There have been no developer communications announcing future content, no unreleased DLC on the store, and no post-launch update activity. This game launched as a complete package and there is no indication that any further content has been developed or planned since its February 2016 release.

No, this can't be! Initial outpost reports showed only armored infantry, but some serious hardware is headed this way! How could two 70-ton German Königstiger battle tanks simply be overlooked?! Well, no time to lay blame, just aim the bazooka and bring up the tanks from the rear. Only a direct hit can destroy them....

Codename: Panzers thrusts you into the high-powered battles of World War II. Whether played in towns with bullet-riddled buildings, bleak mountain landscapes, or treacherous swamps, Codename: Panzers offers real-time combat rampages with awesome 3D graphics. Create your combat force from over 100 finely detailed units, from a flame-throwing squad to a Soviet Stalin organ rocket launcher to a German Königstiger battle tank. Be the commander--demolish the enemy with clever tactical maneuvers. Experience the nerve-jangling thrill of strategic gaming--in Codename: Panzers!
