Summary

Officers puts you in command of the Allied force in the largest conflict of our time. Take control of the US and British armies in order to strike back and defeat the Axis menace on the Western front of Europe. With over 1500 units on maps up to 10 square miles, Officers is the first WWII real time strategy game to let you fight on a truly massive scale. Historical battles like Operation Overlord, Millennium, and Cobra will put your tactical skills to the test using combined forces from infantry. [Tri Synergy]

GameStar

The game has been out in Russia for almost two years and now proves to be an insiders’ tip. The maps are huge, up to 25 square kilometers and there are up to 1.500 units on them. The graphics are dated, the background music can be annoying, but the game itself is thrilling and offers a lot of tactical depth.

Boomtown

There's plenty of potential in the Officers franchise. Few games manage to capture WW2 this well at the tactical level. But a few problems with friendly AI and stability do drag the score down somewhat.

AceGamez

Like a decent enough war movie then, it's something that you can sit and occupy yourself with on a lazy Sunday afternoon, but not something that's going to last for long as a truly memorable experience.

Absolute Games

Despite the amazing scope and intensity of the battles (during the Omaha Beach offensive I’ve burnt 750 German tanks and killed 17500 soldiers), there will come an inevitable moment when Officers becomes boring and turns into Blitzkrieg 2 on steroids.

At root, this is another "Blitzkrieg" ringer. [Aug 2009, p.89]

DarkZero

This is one of the worst types of tragedies that can befall a game – to be brimming with potential and fun gameplay, only to get ruined with technical blunders.

Officially generic. [Oct 2009, p.70]

PC Format

Fans of hardcore strategy sims are sure to lap it up, but for everyone else it's a tedious walk in very familiar territory. [Aug 2009, p.99]

GameSpot

Officers boasts some interesting strategic considerations, including a focus on reconnaissance and realistic supply concerns, which have been lacking in recent RTS games. However, the practically nonexistent multiplayer, the punishing difficulty, the exhaustingly long missions, and a few other annoyances make it a difficult game to recommend.

Jay M gave it a2:
This game is just horrible. I feel like I'm playing a game back in 1995 when I play this game, Just horrible. Should have known not to listen to the critics and buy this sorry game on steam, now I'm out of 30 bucks and stuck with a worthless waste of space on my hard drive. At leased I've have a 30 dollar coaster if i bought it from a retailer, that or I'd have a pretty good shot at being about to return this junk game. Just a Garbage title, don't waste your time and for God sacks read the user reviews before you buy and not the critics.
