The game's story is primarily conveyed through a series of historical and random missions, with players engaging in tactical challenges that require careful planning and execution. While the historical missions are praised for their immersive and engaging scenarios, many players find the random missions repetitive and lacking in depth. Overall, the gameplay experience is driven by the tactical nature of the missions rather than a cohesive narrative, making it appealing for strategy enthusiasts despite some criticisms of repetitiveness and lack of a strong plot.
“This is followed by the Battle of the Bulge (the two hardest missions of the game) where you must evacuate infantry and equipment from the frontline back to the base while being harassed by German infantry behind your lines, followed by your counterattack on a mission where you need to position your anti-tank, artillery, and tanks to repel German incursions.”
“After that, you liberate a concentration camp in a very audacious mission behind enemy lines, and the final mission lets you fight in Czechoslovakia.”
“The historical missions are great and will make you think.”
“The randomly generated missions between the historical missions start to feel very same and boring very fast.”
“The downside to the game is that the missions do get repetitive.”
“Without fail, I have hit a point in every campaign where I need a break - every time I have played through it (more than two dozen times for each side) I will find that the missions get too repetitive and I need to play something else.”

The graphics of the game are widely regarded as dated, reflecting its early 2000s release, yet many players appreciate their charm and atmospheric quality. While some find the pixel art and 2.5D visuals to be a nostalgic highlight, others note that the graphics may hinder gameplay due to pathfinding issues. Overall, despite their age, the visuals are considered decent and still contribute positively to the game's engaging strategy experience.
“I love the fact that it is easy to play, and the graphics make it look as realistic as it could be.”
“The graphics aged like a fine wine, a true classic and a must-have.”
“The tight pixel art style blended with 3D tanks has allowed the game to age well.”
“The graphics are outdated and there's no actual plot, but the gameplay drives you forward with this game.”
“Compared to similar RTS games of the early 2000s era, it's pretty barebones in graphics, and the UI doesn't scale particularly well on modern computers.”
“Don't expect the graphics to blow you away, but I wasn't really concerned with that.”

The gameplay is a standout feature, offering a challenging and strategic experience that rewards careful unit management and tactical decision-making. While the graphics may be dated, the mechanics are engaging and provide a significant amount of content, with some players reporting over 100 hours of gameplay. However, newcomers may find the learning curve steep due to the lack of tutorials and hidden mechanics.
“The gameplay is difficult and punishes your mistakes, but in a good way.”
“If you like old strategy games and realistic gameplay, Blitzkrieg is a must-buy.”
“However, the realistic gameplay always pulls me back to play another mission because it's so much fun to level an entire town with heavy artillery or when I pull off a masterful attack that annihilates the enemy.”
“Mistakes are punished hard, not much is explained and most mechanics are hidden; bonkeys cannot be consulted or changed.”
“While the 'realism' is there and the atmosphere is okay-ish, the gameplay is utter sh*t.”
“The others add a 'timed reinforcements' mechanic that sends you additional units every x minutes, which breaks one of the essential gameplay elements of this game, which is using your units carefully.”

Overall, the stability issues detract significantly from the gaming experience.

Overall, the game's optimization is mixed; while it generally performs well, players report significant slowdowns on certain maps, particularly in Africa, where infantry movement is sluggish and supply trucks may not respond effectively to commands. Despite these issues, many still find the game enjoyable and worth the price, especially for nostalgic players.
“During your campaign, you will be given medals based on your performance, all based on real ribbons and awards issued to combat personnel, each with their own hidden requirements.”
“I'd say if you're into this kind of thing, it's still worth the very reasonable price. It has no performance issues apart from the Africa maps, which caused my infantry to move at a snail's pace and my supply trucks didn't go where I wanted them to, but otherwise, it's alright.”
“Despite the sometimes shaky performance due to the game being old, and the AI not always listening to your commands, it's one of my childhood games.”
