Strategy, turn-based, splitscreen, multiplayer, singleplayer
Korsun Pocket is a turn-based strategy game based on the fact that the Red Army won the Ukrainian region of Korsun (beginning of 1944) during World War II. It was then that the soldiers of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics led by General Ivan Stepanovich Koniev crushed the forces of the Third Reich, Marshal Erich von Manstein.
Korsun Pocket is the long awaited sequel to The Ardennes Offensive in the Decisive Battles system. Korsun Pocket uses a greatly improved version of the Ardennes Offensive engine to recreate the desperate German attempt to escape encirclement on the Russian Front early in 1944. The battle is a tense and exciting struggle, with neither side having a decisive advantage, as the Russians struggle to form the pocket, then try to resist successive German rescue efforts and last ditch attempts at breakout.
PC Gamer gave Korsun Pocket 93% and an Editor’s Choice Award, calling it The best wargame ever made for the PC. A monumental achievement in Game Design”.
Computer Gaming World gave Korsun Pocket 5/5 and an Editor’s Choice Award.
