".. Graviteam offers us a great game. If you want to experience intense feelings, the urgency of fighting, playing battles whose outcome really depends on your ability to lead your troops into battle on land beautifully plausible modeled, Operation Star is THE must-have title. ... A wargame warmly recommended ... " "... +Some new units very pleasant to play. +A multitude of improvements, practical, visual and ergonomic. +Backup during the fighting. +A great gameplay and game environments to none... "

"...Even if I compare with Combat Mission, I would emphasize that apos not try to copy or emulate other games on the market today. Graviteam have their own vision and their own way to make games, making them one of the games developers, which I think makes the very best in this niche market."

... Graviteam have put paid to that by releasing a wargame demo that’s as generous as it is delectable. Weather the potentially confusing tutorial mode (stealthily locking GUI buttons is seldom a good idea) and an early dimly-lit skirmish or two (the demo op begins just before dawn) and this trial-sized chunk of Achtung Panzer: Operation Star begins to twinkle in a most enchanting fashion. The spacious snow-shrouded battlefields, inspired strat layer, and fastidious ballistics will be familiar to players of the original AP. Novelty for us veterans comes in the shape of the overhauled interface, the venue switch, and the clutch of new units. During the last few hours I’ve fought some wonderfully fluid engagements, none of which owed their shape to scenario designers. I’ve been caught off-guard by strat map surprises. I’ve lost scurrying Bren Gun Carriers in forest ambushes. Hearing the rumble of approaching Panzers I’ve quaked on behalf of my depleted AT gun crews. If you download one wargame demo this year, it probably should be this one.."

Achtung Panzer: Operation Star – Graviteam Interview "...The AI is now more massive in its attacks and the AI visibility system is greatly improved..." "...The Ukranian developers, Graviteam, were lauded and applauded for their first game in this series, Achtung Panzer: Kharkov 1943, and now are working on the next installment, aptly named Operation Star, the name of the Soviet offensive in January – February 1943 that allowed them to (temporarily) recapture the city of Kharkov. This time the operations take place a few weeks before the events depicted in AP: Kharkov 1943, and the Germans are on the defense instead of offense. ..."

"... Выбор наш, естественно, не был случайным. За шесть лет существования Graviteam успела выпустить два танковых симулятора, а теперь вот активно развивает линейку стратегий о Харьковскиой операции. Все эти игры отличались предельной достоверностью, поэтому кому как не харьковским игроделам лучше других знать, как рождается настоящий военно-исторический хардкор..."

Review by: Дмитрий Васильев

"... Знакомая по "Битве за Харьков" карта Тарановки существенно доработана и расширена, интерфейс стал более удобным, парк доступной техники пополнился рядом новых машин, а градус реализма, и ранее недостижимый для конкурентов, теперь и вовсе зашкаливает..."
