"Our priority throughout Panzer Tactics DS' development has been to make things easy for Advance Wars players who are out for the next, bigger challenge to get into," stresses Project Manager Johanna Schober.

"The waning of Advance Wars may be indicative of the lack of turn-based strategy competition on the DS; a lack of interest overall. Therefore, the upcoming Panzer Tactics could be just what the portable platform needs to spice things up. Here is a game with a prestigious history and an already-established fan following, that looks like it could give Advance Wars a run for its money. We recently received a preview build of the game, and stretched its legs out in the Play.tm back paddock."

"Panzer Tactics DS is the first and only WWII turn-based strategy war game for the Nintendo DS. The game is played on hex-based maps and offers a variety of control options. All missions are based on historical battles from WWII, utilizing real-world units from the era. New units can be unlocked, while existing units earn experience through battle."
Gameplayer has gone live with a review of Panzer Tactics DS. They compare it unfavorably to the like-minded Advance Wars.
"While ambitious use has been made of FMV cut scenes, pseudo 3D animation, and the available resolution, sound, and colour, everything feels a bit sluggish. A bit slow."
