"Partisans 1941 takes some getting used to in terms of controlling a squad while moving the camera around. The artistic graphics play off the brilliant lighting of the Unreal Engine and the diverse voice acting is believable for the setting. …"
Read original review"Despite this Partisans 1941 has good mission design, a nice synergy between characters, and the outside the mission variety that makes it a good recommendation for those who like this style of game and the World War II setting."
Read original review"Other than a couple of slight and somewhat comical irritations, Partisans 1941 is a fun, methodical real-time tactics game."

"Taking the role of a small, under-equipped squad is a novel angle for a real time strategy game like this. Some aspects of Partisans 1941 were interesting, but the core of the game has too many small complaints to recommend …"
Read original review"The whole aesthetic of Partisans 1941 transports you to the era. The writing is also respectful to the time period, with no mercy for the fascist scum that you dispatch through your crusade to take the power back."
