Many people played this game but no one admit it, simply because it's bad. Typical war strategy where you command your troops to obliterate everyone. Gameplay is not very complex and consists of using some special actions and advancing further into the battle zone. You can put camouflage on tanks or turn on lights at night missions or simply call for resupply. You can order your troops to exit vehicles and create …

This game oddly enough, is better than it's successor World War III: Black Gold. Players can choose from 3 modes, although multiplayer is dead so there's only 2 you can really play between Single-player and offline mode. Being able to pick one of the 3 different teams is nice, and it surprisingly includes over 10 different infantry squads and tanks on each team. So there's a lot of variety, plus with over 40 …

“World War II᎓ Panzer Claws” is a real－time strategy game, with simple mechanics that are next to humorous and dumb if you are engaged in topics regarding war strategy. The game is very simple, with easy mechanics, beautiful scenery and simple graphics — in my honest opinion, they aren’t ugly, considering when it was first released. You can play both in solo mode and JxJ mode, which doubles the fun. I have nothing …

I really liked this title for the short time I did play it! This feels like Army Men Sarge's Heroes but with tanks! For only $5 this is a serious must play for any Tank RTS fan!

This game is amazing, even after a decade of existance. While not very appealing visually, the gameplay is fun and solid. The tanks operate off of an armor basis. As in all but the lightest vehicles cannot be harmed by small arms. Tanks with lighter armor will suffer much more damage from tank shells than a tank with heavy armor. The amount of units surprised me, as there are almost a dozen different infantry …

84% of the 159 Steam reviewers we collected recommend World War II: Panzer Claws. The complaint that keeps coming up: slow pace and dated graphics may deter some players. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

In a matter of time, we might return to population levels from the 17th century, and if we do, then so what?
