The game is dedicated to the Second World War, and offers to take command of German (in conjunction with their European allies), or the Anglo-American or Russian (Polish and other) troops in the theater of operations in various theaters of operation. A selection of specific scenarios or conduct the campaign. Remarkable that in the latter case, all your achievements in the individual battles and in the end by virtue of experience and sophisticated technical equipment of your troops are simply invincible.
Great game interface – control only with the mouse, you can forget about the keyboard. Gorgeous graphics – SVGA mode created images of equipment that are very similar to natural objects. Animation and sound poslabee, but they are not too important for Wargames, emerged from a desktop game.
One of the first games where the player is given the opportunity to play for the German troops. Biggest developers paid attention to the reliability – of the game, more than 100 units with different parameters. During the game followed by some continuation.
“Shell” has become for me something of a bible vargeyma. I went with the head of the game – with not the most brilliant to date graphics, but with excellent gameplay, very friendly interface and excellent balance. Panzer General 2 became simply a shameful failure on the background of his predecessor, but the Star General, Fantasy General and the People’s General, I simply silent. Only Russian development – Sudden Strike (Opposition) of a series of games about World War II, is worthy to stand next to Panzer General.
The game is a Hall of Fame magazine Computer Gaming World.
The original version of the game was banned in Germany because of a few stupid phrases in the guide to the game.
