Overview

It is probably THE best hex strategy game out to date though, and indeed possibly one of the best single campaign one too.

Gamespot - 8.6/10
Korsun Pocket is an excellent game, is compelling and addictive for anyone interested in deep strategy games, and is easily the best 2D wargame for the PC to date.

Gamespy - 5 Stars
Korsun Pocket is arguably the best traditional hex-based wargame of all time. The runaway winner of wargame of the year and ranks among the best in the genre of all-time.

GameRaiders - 81%
Korsun Pocket takes the nerd out of strategy wargaming and presents a package that will be easily playable and enjoyable for gamers of all types and ages.
