Critic Reviews for Classified: France ' 44
A suspenseful yet forgiving turn-based tactics game that lets you play a part in shaping history.
Classified: France '44 does so much right; historical authentic tactical combat, tense decision-making, and a minimal amount of stealth. Naff Stereotype-driven characters and technical issues aside, this is a confident and assured debut from Absolutely Games.
Classified: France '44 is an authentic and thrilling turn-based strategy where every decision can come undone with the slightest mistake.
As a relatively modest strategy title, Classified: France '44 accomplishes much more than you might think considering its rather low-key pre-release reception. Anybody who is up for a good lean tactical strategy game is in for quite a treat here, as Classified delivers an experience that gives you a good hearty taste of what a simple and effective strategy game should be, while adding new and forward-thinking features that address some of the qualms of the genre. The new Morale system is a novel new mechanic that adds a layer of depth to strategy, the missions are good and place emphasis on smart strategic play, and although the story and personalities fall short, the illustrated cutscenes are an admirable embellishment that gives Classified its own distinctive panache. Classified might seem rather plain and ordinary to many, and yes it does represent itself in that fashion, but underneath there is a compelling and satisfying strategy title here that's worth a look for anybody who is intrigued and wants to get rid of hordes of virulent Nazi scum in L'Hexagone.
In the case of Classified, we are not talking about a brilliant, innovative concept of the genre of turn-based strategies, but rather about a solid use of already used and well-known mechanics and tools. Overall, the word "solid" describes the game perfectly.

Although it has a little too much XCOM influences, we have a turn-based strategy in our hands that gives a good World War II atmosphere. It has some shortcomings in some points, but this does not change the fact that Classified France '44 is a good game. Anyone who likes XCOM will find something to enjoy.

Classified: France '44 exceeded my expectations as it provides a genuine-feeling WWII campaign along with some rewarding twists.
Crawl through the ditches and hide in the bushes and stab a Nazi in his throat-u-la!
