'Panzer Tactics DS' (NDS) Gets Release Date

by Rainier on Oct. 30, 2007 @ 6:20 a.m. PDT

Panzer Tactics DS is the first and only WWII turn-based strategy wargame for the Nintendo DS. The game is played on hex-based maps and offers a variety of control options.

The year is 1939. The world on the brink of one of the greatest conflicts in human history: the Second World War. Be prepared to assume command of one of three of the most powerful armies of that time: the German Wehrmacht, the Red Army or the Western Allies (Britain and USA).

The three different historical campaigns enable you to experience the demanding strategic aspects of combat for the first time on a handheld device. Lead your men to victory – on land, on water and in the air! Multiplayer mode lets you challenge your friends via Hotseat mode, LAN or Wi-Fi, and collect important points for the Panzer Tactics DS online Highscore Ladder. Show the rest of the world who’s the best strategist!

Sirus Ahmadi, president of Conspiracy Entertainment, said, "The Panzer Tactics game not only offers single-player mode, but enables addictive multiplayer access across LAN and Wi-Fi networks. The Nintendo DS platform, combined with ever-popular military themes within a virtual community, make Panzer Tactics a hot new gaming release to hit stores just in time for the holiday season."

Keith Tanaka, CFO of Conspiracy Entertainment, said, "Leveraging the established distribution channels and expertise of Atlus U.S.A., we are confident that Panzer Tactics' release will be very well received in North America retail outlets. We anticipate Panzer Tactics DS, and other games scheduled for release, can provide for sales growth in the fourth quarter of 2007."
