The gameplay is characterized by addictive mechanics and tactical decision-making, particularly through the use of cards and various variables. However, players have noted limitations in unit maneuverability and inefficiencies in the turn system, specifically the igougo approach, which detracts from the overall experience. While the game features great graphics and depth, certain mechanics, like plotting artillery missions, are seen as time-consuming without significant gameplay benefits.
“Addictive gameplay mechanics with lots of variables (cards to be played) and tactical decisions (for example: will you spend 3 VP to bring Romanians into the fight at Rostov - 9 battalions)... I always play the grand campaign in turn-based games and discard small scenarios, but that's up to player preference!”
“Great graphics, gameplay, and depth are here.”
“All the elements you would expect at Stalingrad are included by the use of cards and other mechanics.”
“This mechanic doesn't really allow for breaking groups of units up to maneuver.”
“A more general issue I have is with the engine developed (specifically, igougo instead of wego system of turns) for the franchise and many of the game mechanics.”
“The plotting of artillery missions over the map also wastes game time for no gameplay return – it should be just select and assign.”
