Development[edit]

The game was developed by Charybdis Enterprises, a company founded in June 1995.[5] It was showcased at E3 1997.[6][7]

Reception[edit]

Computer Games Magazine said "The highly detailed manual and the dynamic campaign structure hint at what this game could have been. However, the combination of outdated graphics and an AI that simply can't figure out how to move or fight make iPanzer44 a huge disappointment"[8]
