Korsun Pocket

Overview   ( More Info )

PC Gamer - 93%
The best wargame ever made for the PC. A monumental achievement in Game Design. It is the Mount Everest, the Beethoven's Ninth and the Moby Dick of PC Wargames, and it absolutely qualifies as a genuine work of art.

IC Games - 86%
It is probably THE best hex strategy game out to date though, and indeed possibly one of the best single campaign one too.

Computer Gaming World - 5 Stars
It's the best hex-based computer wargame ever made. Period.

GameRaiders - 81%
Korsun Pocket takes the nerd out of strategy wargaming and presents a package that will be easily playable and enjoyable for gamers of all types and ages.
