Reception
By late 1985, Kampfgruppe had sold 8,000 units and was forecast to reach 25,000 sales over its lifetime. It was widely acclaimed by fans of the wargame genre.[2]
Computer Gaming World's Mark Bausman called Kampfgruppe a "truly superior game" that allowed the player to "exercise his imagination without having to follow a complicated game structure."[3]
In 1985, Computer Gaming World's readers voted Kampfgruppe the best game of the year across all categories. The magazine's editors concurred that it was "the finest wargame currently available", and argued that it would "be looked back upon as a true landmark effort in computer wargaming."[2] It was later among the first inductees into the magazine's "Hall of Fame" section in 1988, and remained readers' highest-rated strategy title by that time.[4] In 1996, Computer Gaming World declared Kampfgruppe the 101st-best computer game ever released.[1]
