“[h1]Good foundation, broken details[/h1] I (generally) liked [b]Classified: France '44[/b]. The premise is strong, the Resistance fantasy works, and the mix of stealth, morale and turn-based tactics is good enough to…”
“OK I've been playing tactical combat games since I got a cover cassette of Rebelstar 2 on a Your Sinclair magazine back in '89. I played OG UFO/X-COM, New XCOM, the shabby UFO "after" series, Xenonauts. Basically, I'm a…”

“Surprisingly good despite the bad reviews I've read. If I had to sum it up, it's the WW2 version of XCOM - Chimera Squad, but in a good way. The limited resources & personnel really get you into the "resistance guerilla…”
“It's entertaining but also educational about events that happened pre-invasion. I love it when a game incorporates real history into it.”

“Review of Classified France ‘44 (3.9 hours of gameplay for this review) 1. Graphics The graphics, textures, character models, and animations are decent in this game. It’s not revolutionary, but it works great. Colors…”
“It's XCOM 2 in WW2. However it is strangely lacking somehow despite the artstyle being beautiful. The story timeline of 50 days is too short, so it doesn't have enough game time to truely build momentum or the feeling…”

“Classsified: France '44 is a recommend from me, with some caveats. It's a fun-enough x-com style turn based game set in WWII and I did enjoy my time with it. The setting makes it unique enough and I enjoyed the premise.…”
“Game mechanics do make the campaign interesting. Battle can be challenging and you might need to try multiple times. The chit chat can give more background stories to the characters but I don't really listen to them.…”

“One of the best XCom-ish games I've played. Solid tactical battles and the game forces you to make some meaningful strategic choices between them. Very solid game worth the purchase, especially if you catch it in a sale.”
“It is a bit buggy, but you can save, so that's only ever really gonna cost you another go, nothing appalling. I get that people don't like the fiddle of some of the less conventional features, but for me those are often…”

“Some of the gameplay mechanics in this are genuinely infuriating. The morale system is the biggest BS I've ever seen. With the 'broken' status, a single unit type can lock down your entire team through perma-stunning,…”

“Mostly good, a good Xcom style game with a cool style. Characters are likeable, mechanics are cool and unique. some glitchy parts of the game hold it back a bit, but besides the bugs i really enjoyed the game overall…”
“Basically a copy/paste of "Partisans 1941" and the turn-based gameplay of X-Com rather than Partisans' "Real-Time" movement. The reason I cant recommend this game is that this feels like a precursor to Partisans 1941…”

“Finished the game in 18h playtime. If you like the WW2 scenario and Xcom style game combined, go for it! Before buying i read reviews that there were bugs (i did not encounter a single bug) and that there are endless waves of re-enforcement ruining the game - this was also no…”
— a player, Steam review · 22 hrs played“A slight twist on the X-com genre that should be great (awesome setting, generally fun missions, and an interesting new "morale" system. However, it's ultimately bogged down by poor systems performance (long load times and slow character animations that love to momentarily…”
— a player, Steam review · 30 hrs played“UPDATE: Came back and powered through this one to the end. Still don't recommend. Glitchy, unbalanced, and repetitive. Again, liked the WW2 angle, but there are much better turn-based games out there. ORIGINAL: Like many of the other reviews have touched upon: game starts out…”
