Order of Battle: Pacific Critic Reviews

Once I start a scenario, I find it almost impossible to quit until I’ve seen it through to the end. Fast, approachable, and challenging, it is everything I want in a wargame.

An incredibly deep and entertaining strategic game. It's got some limits in terms of budgets, but fans of the genre should definitely play it.

Almost perfect WW2 turn-based strategy can claim to be a proud successor of the Panzer General classic. Turns and hexes are finally back – and with style.

The best strategy title of the year so far, offering a new take on a period that many gamers believe is no longer interested from a video game point of view.

Order of Battle: Pacific is a rich and accessible wargame that takes the classic Panzer General's formula to a whole new level.

A few neat features and the accessible nature of the game mean it’s open for newcomers to the genre but also challenging enough for veterans.

Order of Battle: Pacific is a nice attempt to import Civilization V mechanics into a turn based war game.

The strategic aspect is deep enough to keep historic wargames fans busy for a long time.

Order of Battle: Pacific is complex and deep, and delivers a good tactical experience. It can count on lots and lots of different units and troops, and a good representation of naval and aerial battles.

Put aside any doubts you might have about hex-based wargames, Order of Battle: Pacific’s combined arms operations are an approachable, and rewarding, strategic challenge.

It's a good start for a new studio and looks quite impressive. The balancing needs some improvements though.

In terms of content, this is huge: 500 unit types. 20 specializations. Two campaigns. But when it comes to detail this feels ponderous and prudish despite giving you a lot of options on the battlefield.
