NZGamer

Despite the bizarre you-failed-because-the-Germans-surrendered quirk this is one of the top turn-based strategy titles of the generation. On the down side it isn’t something casual gamers will get into easily. Play the trial first.

GameShark

Turn based gaming on the 360 is rare, but hopefully Allied Assault finds its niche with gamers looking for yet one more way to win World War II.

Even though you’ll use your mind instead of your trigger finger, you’re still killing Nazis—never a bad thing!

Wonderfully deep gameplay underneath layers of complexity. [Dec 2009, p.86]

Panzer Generals: Allied Assault is an impressive little game, the battles are challenging but also rewarding.

GameSpot

It's not the Panzer General that you might remember, but this card-based XBLA game is impressively deep and addictive.

GameZone

For the decent price of 800 MSP ($10) Panzer General delivers great gameplay over a lengthy campaign. The slow down will bother some, but most will come away pretty pleased with this unique style of board game.

Panzer General hits it where it counts – in the gameplay department. If you can get past the weak visuals, you will find a surprisingly good game.

Eurogamer Italy

Panzer General: Allied Assault is a card-based board game set in the WWII, with simple mechanics and deep, enjoyable gameplay. A good choice if you like little, tactical games.

IGN

It's not going to win any beauty pageants and customizing your deck should be easier, but there are dozens of hours of solid tactical gameplay to be fought through here.

A good game in many ways, let down by its lack of fun.

Card Game meets RTS, in an unusual but thrilling game experience.

Vandal Online

One of those honest games, with nothing lacking or not needed, that plays directly from the beginning and is able to provide lots of hours of fun to players who engage.

A worthwhile strategy jolly. [Issue#53, p.105]

Eurogamer

Panzer General: Allied Assault is not for everyone. It will definitely gain a small subset of rabidly devoted XBLA players and rightly so - it's a great tactical turn-based game. But the average gamer will be a long way outside of their comfort zone.

Gamer Limit

Panzer General: Allied Assault will likely please fans of the strategy and card genres, but all others should likely avoid this title.

GamingXP

If you are fond of any kind of strategy game, Panzer General: Allied Assault is a must-have. Enjoy many hours of playing time and drive your opponents to their knees in the compelling online multiplayer mode.
