They also carry over from mission to mission in the single-player campaign, meaning that one is loathe to risk them when there may be a greater need down the line. Players do have reinforcements available, but these, too, are finite. That, naturally, contributes to a more deliberate play style as players can't simply rush headlong into battle since every lost unit could be the critical one that costs them the battle. Each unit is also modeled (more or less) realistically, with different armor ratings on the front, sides, and rear of a vehicle, and a finite amount of ammunition. Like that game, Blitzkrieg 2 jettisons most resource management, instead offering a player most of the military units they're going to get at the start of each mission. Now Nival has released Blitzkrieg 2 - a game that has the virtue of being better than the first, but still doesn't manage to rise above the thoroughly pedestrian.īlitzkrieg 2, like the original, is a "tactical" RTS - one that tries to bridge the gap between a grognard-friendly turn-based game and the more simplistic, but highly commercial RTS models typified by Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War. Russian developer Nival Interactive entered this overcrowded market in 2003 with the mediocre Blitzkrieg, a game that managed to wrap a few interesting ideas around an ancient 2D engine and thoroughly pedestrian gameplay. It's one of the most extensively studied and fictionalized events in human history, the subject of countless books, movies, and, of course, video games. It's not easy finding a new twist on World War II these days. Like the original Blitzkrieg games, Blitzkrieg 2 was developed by the strategy-action specialists at Nival Interactive. More than 250 unit types are available, so a built-in encyclopedia is available to help players brush up on their history and choose the best troops for the fight ahead. The game features four campaigns, allowing players to fight from the perspective of the Russians, the British, the Germans, and the Americans. Battles take place around the globe - in Europe, Northern Africa, and the Pacific Theater - and are based on the real-life engagements that took place during the war. Blitzkrieg 2 is a real-time strategy game that plays out across historically modeled 3D landscapes of World War II.
