AceGamez - 8/10
Korsun Pocket is a game for strategy enthusiasts who will welcome a return to the old hexagon grid with a fresh, new approach.

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.

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.

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.
