Evaluation
Partisans 1941 launched on October 14, 2020 as a complete real-time tactics game. In the months following launch, the developer shipped several patches addressing bugs and player feedback. On April 29, 2021, the one and only paid content DLC — "Back into Battle" — was released, adding new missions, a sandbox mode, and a wave-defense mode. All three DLC items listed on the store (the content DLC, the soundtrack, and the supporter pack) have been released. There have been no developer communications after April 29, 2021, and no new content has been announced. The game has one major content release in its post-launch history, and the developer has been silent since that DLC shipped. With no outstanding commitments, no roadmap for future content, and over five years of silence since the last update, the game appears to have concluded its content cycle with the "Back into Battle" DLC in April 2021.

About this game
A new approach to the stealth tactics genre: Partisans 1941 combines stealth, action, resource management and base-building elements.
Take control of a group of Partisans resisting the German occupation Eastern Front during World War II.
Plan and initiate combat your way. Use tactical pause, study the environment and choose the best position to set up an ambush.
Build up your resistance camp hidden deep in the woods and find allies to join your cause. Form squads of unique Partisans and undertake diverse missions to undermine enemy forces and infrastructure, while securing resources desperately needed to sustain the resistance.
Experience a dramatic and unique chapter of World War II and become a Red Army commander behind enemy lines.
As red army commander Alexey Zorin you escape a Nazi prison camp. Gather a Partisan squad from soldiers left behind enemy lines and locals. Live with your squad all the way from small sabotage missions to attacks on the occupational forces’ authority.
Play a leading role in an operation initiated by Red Army staff quarters and conducted by all Partisan teams in the area: A strike on the German forces’ supply lines for the frontlines, with the goal of buying additional time for the defenders of Leningrad to prepare against the German attack.
