A few days ago, Team17 had released a teaser for an unknown game, accompanied by a completely censored press release, in the style of classified army documents. We still had an appointment on May 31 to discover this title, and it’s about Classified: France ’44.
Developped by Absolutely Game, Classified: France ’44 will take us once again to World War II, in a game of turn-based tactical action and strategy. Players will command an elite squad in France, as the Resistance impatiently awaits the Allies’ landing. The developers detail:
Take the lead of a special operations team made up of allied commandos and French resistance fighters. Recruit elite agents to build your squad, then embark on a vast campaign of sabotage and destruction. Deal with opposing factions to build the resistance network and strike German targets in occupied territories. But beware ! The more chaos you cause, the more you will attract the merciless attention of the Gestapo secret police.
In thrilling missions inspired by the exploits of the Allies and the French, the game develops turn-based tactical concepts that breathe life and energy into authentic WWII combat. The campaign allows you to play several times and in a different way each time. For players who really want to push their strategy mastery to the limit, our mission builder gives you the ability to create, share, and download custom missions.
