I will be interested to see if a PC RTS title can have any sort of lifespan without actual multi-player. I’ve been digging around in all of the promotional materials, and the developer and game website, and I can’t find any information that indicates that will be a release feature. I can’t square off against another player’s army, and this being a Real-Time-Strategy title, that feels strange.

The resources replenish themselves slowly over time, but the quickest way to gain those resources is to assault the bases of other players. Like many mobile strategy titles, Blitzkrieg 3 features invisible walls on expansion and army production ruled by two major resources – in this case oil and supply. The gameplay paradigm will be familiar to anyone who’s played a mobile RTS in recent years like Clash of Clans and its ilk – laying out a base, its defenses as well as production and resource infrastructure, and building an army from that infrastructure. If nothing else, Blitzkrieg 3 is an excellent example of World War II eye candy.īlitzkrieg 3 is in simplest terms, a base-building Mobile RTS on a more robust platform.

The title is currently in early access, and far from feature complete, and the following impressions take that into full account. It’s the third full release in the franchise’s 12 year history, and is in many ways a departure from formula. Blitzkrieg 3 is a World War II MMORTS driven by the Unity Engine and developed by Nival.
