Throughout various name changes and publishers, the team has created several real-time strategy games like the Earth series and World War III: Black Gold. Zuxxez Interactive, as the developer is now known, has teamed up with Eidos for its latest project, a real-time strategy game set in World War II.

The game has all the standard modes you might expect from a real-time strategy game, including single-player campaigns, instant-action skirmish maps, and multiplayer options. Panzer Claws has six single-player campaigns, divided evenly between the three sides. You do have to complete a tutorial mission before gaining access to the campaigns, but that may be a good thing considering the game's surprisingly steep learning curve.

Interestingly, the campaign actually plays differently from the skirmish and multiplayer modes. In the campaign, you're given a set number of units to complete each mission, but in skirmish and multiplayer, you have to construct a base and build units, and you gain money over time by capturing and holding mines and factories spread throughout the map.

The three factions have equivalent units and buildings in terms of functionality, which you might expect, considering the kind of technology that was available during World War II. Perhaps the most notable aspect of the game is the inclusion of infantry, a first for an Earth 3-engine game from Zuxxez. When you start a mission or purchase infantry units, the infantry units appear as a group.

For example, a basic infantry squad will actually consist of nine units clumped together. You can split them apart if you'd like, but it's a good idea to keep groups together when you have a lot of troops. Panzer Claws also offers a wide variety of armored vehicles to round out your army. A crew of infantry mans every vehicle and building, and you can send your crew in and out at will. Panzer Claws also has aircraft, but you don't have direct control over them.

Instead, you use them as one-shot deals for air reconnaissance, bombing runs, or rocket attacks. Just about every unit in Panzer Claws serves some valuable function. For example, infantry may seem pointless, since they're so vulnerable to enemy vehicle attack, but they have many purposes.

They're very cheap to build and they draw enemy fire, and since tank shells and antitank bunkers do little damage to infantry, you can have opponents waste their time and ammunition on your infantry, and you'll suffer relatively few casualties.

Second, your infantry are adept at killing vehicle crews without damaging the actual vehicle, and you can then capture enemy vehicles and use them yourself. While they're surprisingly useful, infantry can sometimes pick up speed for no apparent reason and move as fast as some vehicles. It's rather unpredictable, but it doesn't affect gameplay too much.
