Codename panzer cold war
It’s time to take some tough decisions with the news that Atari’s PC real-time strategy title Codename Panzers: Cold War is available now at retailers across Europe. The latest title in the acclaimed Codename Panzers series from developers Stormregion and InnoGlow features highly detailed visuals, deep tactical gameplay and 8 player online play, while inviting players to re-shape the chilling history of the Cold War, and decide for themselves whether or not to push the big red button labelled ‘nuke’.
At the height of the Cold War, nerves are stretched to breaking point on both sides, when a deadly accident involving Russian and American planes at Berlin’s Tempelhof Airport threatens to turn the uneasy stalemate into a full-blown military conflict. It proves to be the final straw for Stalin’s Red Army who begin to advance against the NATO forces with the intention of bringing the war to a bloody conclusion.
Representing the height of Cold War era conventional warfare, Codename Panzers: Cold War features heavy armour battles between real-world heavy tanks like the American M103 and the Russian Troyanov. The Point of Interest system takes the gameplay beyond build-and-rush tactics, with structures on the map that must be occupied to gain Prestige Points which can then be used to call in special attacks like napalm or helicopter support, or to produce additional units. Special urban warfare tactics like building and taking cover, constructing fortifications or tunnelling are available to infantry units, while the dynamic weather conditions affect unit behaviour and limit sight range creating even more tactical gameplay depth.
The game features enormous customization options allowing entire armies to bear their own unique livery and every single unit, including tanks, to be customized with extra equipment including flamethrowers, amphibian devices, camouflage nets and more. Codename Panzers: Cold War features extensive online multiplayer gameplay options for up to 8 players including co-op, deathmatch and domination modes, allowing players to test their Cold War mettle against players around the globe.
Bringing endless alternate Cold War scenarios to RTS fans, presented in painstaking detail by Stormregion’s next-generation game engine, Codename Panzers: Cold War is available now at retailers across Europe.
