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.

The Wargamer
meets the qualifications for a game that defines new standards for using boardgame concepts in computer games and should increase the audience for such games. It is, without doubt, an essential addition to every serious gamers' library.

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.

PC Gamer - 93%
The best wargame ever made for the PC. A monumental achievement in Game Design. It is the Mount Everest, the Beethoven's Ninth and the Moby Dick of PC Wargames, and it absolutely qualifies as a genuine work of art.
