The PC and iOS versions received "favourable" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[10][11] Many compared the PC version to the Panzer General series. 4Players gave it a favorable review while it was still in development.[12]
Daniel Shannon of GameSpot summarized: "Panzer Corps is a great turn-based strategic wargame that captures Panzer General's deep and involving classic gameplay."[4] Tim Stone of PC Gamer UK said that the only negative aspect of the game was the steep price since there was "free fan-made versions of Panzer General 2 available".[5] Luke Plunkett of Kotaku called it "one of the best strategy games you can get on the PC" in 2014.[17]
