TL;DR: This game is unbalanced and frustrating. If you don’t have any nostalgic feelings toward it, I wouldn’t recommend playing it. If you never played Blitzkrieg before, I wouldn't recommend you picking this up. I spent way more time on this game than I should have because I’m a stubborn dude with strong nostalgia, and I wanted to finish all the campaigns, including the miscellaneous scenarios. I remember looking at the cover art and really wanting to play it, but I never managed to get it working back then since my copy was bootlegged. WW1 uses the exact same engine as Blitzkrieg 1 (2003). Oddly enough, it was released in 2005, the same day Blitzkrieg 2 came out, with a much better engine. Even though WW1 released two years after Blitzkrieg 1, the game is still very unbalanced, and most mission objectives feel like they exist purely for “gameplay” reasons to fill up the empty areas with some objectives. Graphically, I knew exactly what I was getting, so I have no complaints there. Using pre-rendered units combined with stylistic 3D vehicle models is surprisingly hard to get old. So why am I recommending this if I don’t think it’s that good? Because it’s literally a piece of gaming history. Even though I consider it a bad Blitzkrieg spinoff, to this day there still isn’t another game quite like it that delivers a WW1 experience in this style. And it is cheap enough not to think twice before buying it.

Эту игру можно воспринимать только как прикол, т.к. реальность первой мировой она даже и близко не отражает, ни какой окопной войны тут нет даже близко. Но как прикол игра хороша.
Yes.
- Infantry, tanks, machine guns, AT-guns etc. pretty much share the same firing range. - Artillery range has been decreased in order to fit smaller scale battles. ( ex, a 152 mm howitzer has the same range as a mortar). You cannot use artillery to fire across the entire map like in other enigma engine games ( BK, M.Kursk & Barbarossa, Stalingrad etc.), although the game has some heavy art. pieces (fixed, cannot be moved/towed) that have the biggest firing range, very useful in defending positions. * new unit Cavalry - group of fast soldiers better used in flanking, hit & run tactics, hunting down supply & repair vehicles. Since they cannot take cover on ground or in trenches, they are very vulnerable to AOE shells. - Airplanes are rarely used. Only scouts and fighters. Reasonable approach since it's WW1. - Few tanks ( awww ) but very useful, alongside with armored cars. - Snipers ;). Enough said. - Rain and snow affect line of sight, and plane usage.
I spent some time playing it, and despite a few things, I enjoyed it. For its time, it was unique (I think?). However, 20 years later, I realize that despite the nice effort put into the theme, the game’s timeline is a bit of a mess. Rows of A7Vs lined up like slot machine payouts, soldiers who repeat themselves too much... Things that could have been optimized if only time had given it the chance. I would have given it a very good score back in the day. Now there are mods and games to relive that era. Plus, it isn’t necessarily very pretty or accessible. Nevertheless, and without faulting it, we’ll give it a passing grade... 10/20. A gift.
Naja. Das Spiel ist ganz nett, aber es wird schnell langweilig und wird zum "stumpfen Abarbeiten der Arbeitsaufträge". Die feindlichen Einheiten stehen in großen Gruppen in der Gegend herum. Sie bewegen sich nur, wenn man in die Nähe kommt, dann kommt gleich ein ganzer Haufen auf einen zu. Ich dachte immer, es würde noch spannender werden, aber die Flugzeuge hat man gänzlich weggelassen. Das fand ich sehr enttäuschend. Dazu stört das langweilige Missionsdesign, schlechter als bei Blitzkrieg I. Blitzkrieg-Fans wird bei diesem Spiel auch nerven, dass man den Gegner nicht sieht. Man wagt sich mit dem Panzer nur ein Stückchen vor und hat sofort einen Volltreffer. Also ständig speichern und wieder laden :-(
Não gostei muio pois não é o tipo de jogo que eu busco, aqui você só pode seguir campanha e não tem um modo rts de fato, um modo livre de contruir suas bases, mas os gráficos são interessantes, mas não vale o preço
underwhelming gameplay, uses dated engine considering there was better at the time, very small scale battles
