About the Game

Classified: France ‘44 is a new turn-based strategy game, set in World War II during the desperate months leading up to the Allied invasion of France in June 1944.

Take charge of a special-ops team of Allied commandos and French resistance fighters. Recruit elite operatives to build your squad, then engage in a sweeping campaign of sabotage and destruction. Deal with competing factions to build the resistance network and strike at German targets deep in occupied territory. However, the more chaos you cause, the more you’ll draw the merciless attention of the Gestapo secret police.

In exciting missions inspired by the exploits of the Allies and French, the game expands on turn-based tactical concepts, bringing authentic World War 2 combat to life. The campaign allows for multiple playthroughs that are different each time. For those who really want to test their skills, our rich Mission Creator tool allows players to create, share and download custom missions.

Every Shot Counts.

In Classified: France ‘44’s unique morale system, every shot taken affects you or your enemies. Suppress and break your opposition, giving you a brief window to flank your cowering targets and finish them off.

Shape the Battle.

Use stealth tactics to eliminate key targets and start the fight on your terms. However, the more kills you make, the more enemies will begin to suspect that something's wrong, so be ready to unleash your ambush before they sniff you out!

Build your Team.

An authentic and characterful mix of heroes will be yours to choose from, each with their own story to tell. Train, customise and equip them with your growing arsenal of skills and weapons. Raise the morale of your team by spending time around the campfire, and learning about their lives as they fight across the war-ravaged fields of occupied France.

Experience History.

Complete challenging objectives in over 45 missions supplied to your team by the French forces. Choose which missions suit your strategy to grow the resistance and support your ultimate goals. Manage your team by sending them on strategic operations.

Built to Last.

Updates and expansions will grow the world of Classified: France ‘44, bringing new and exciting elements to your freedom fight. Our Classified Mission Creator and the modding tools ensure there will always be player-created content to explore.

On to Victory.

Classified: France ‘44 is full of challenge. Work out the optimum grand strategy while deploying the best tactical play and discover the game's multiple endings. What will your D-Day look like?

Good foundation, broken details I (generally) liked Classified: France '44 . The premise is strong, the Resistance fantasy works, and the mix of stealth, morale and turn-based tactics is good enough to carry the early

This "masterpiece" is very shallow tactically and only playable up to the middle of the game. Once enemy level is more than 3, enemies become so jacked up with health and morale that you need multiple shots to lower

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

Sadly, I cannot recommend this. I'm not bad by any means at these games, I've played plenty of similar games... But some of the end game missions are beyond impossible, entirely because of RNG. Some missions force you

I tried to love this game. I grew up on turn-based strategy games like Commandos and Jagged Alliance, and I love the more modern versions of Xcom. Unfortunately, the interface of Classified '44 is just too slow,

If you're new to the genre, go play XCOM 2 instead. OK for a few hours, then becomes unecessary tedious. RNG and enemy spawns work against you. UX / UI is clunky and hard to read.
