Players have a number of campaigns to complete (including Fall Weiss, Big Red One, Great Patriotic War and Das Reich), divided into dozens of different scenarios. A wide range of more than 4,000 historical units, described by more than twenty statistics, has been made available to the player. You make your army more powerful and gain access to new units by winning battles.

Technical aspects

Open Panzer allows you to save the game at any time, as well as to move saves between supported hardware platforms via the cloud system - you can continue your game started on PC (in a browser) on a tablet or smartphone.

Open Panzer has 2D graphics and the game has was well-received among fans of this genre, which is largely due to the author, who constantly improves his work. For example, as part of the 3.0 update, Nicolae Pavel introduced a new Artificial Intelligence module and a new weather system.
