The game allows players to assume the role of commanding officer during the battles of World War II that occurred in Europe and North Africa.

Similar to the Sudden Strike games, Blitzkrieg focuses on battles rather than real-time strategy aspects like base building.

Graphics deliver realistic 3-D rendered isometric terrain and details include seasons, climatic zones and weather conditions which can affect game play.

The player has the ability to build pontoon bridges, dig trenches, lay mines, resupply and repair units or call in air support but there are no resources.

[3] Blitzkrieg centers on 3 distinctive campaigns which features some of the major factions battling it out in World War II.

The "Enigma Engine" used in Blitzkrieg was heavily outsourced and plenty of games were made using the engine: Hamburg-based La Plata Studios (developers of the Burning Horizon, Rolling Thunder and Green Devils titles) released Panzerkrieg - Burning Horizon II in 2008.
