Blitzkrieg is a RTS game set in the times of World War II. The players may take part in a number of historical campaigns (such as German invasion of Poland, Russia and Tunisia, Allied landing in Italy and France or Russian struggle in Ukraine and Finland), commanding either Allied, Soviet or German forces. The game offers detailed graphics with 3D units, while the gameplay mechanics somewhat resemble those from Sudden Strike, meaning: each mission, we get a number of units and have to use them in such a way that grants us victory.

  • Over 40 sorts of infantry troops.
  • More than 250 types of buildings and ground installations.
