PC Critic Reviews

With Iron Front: Liberation 1944 the player get a huge battlefield and a game with great potential. Airplanes, real tanks, editor, co-operative missions, two campaigns and tons of interaction. Unfortunately the engine is full of bugs and requires very powerful hardware. Hopefully patches and modders will explode the true potential of this game in the near future.

This one's going to be a bit of a slow burner we imagine – needs more content, more tweaking, and obviously the community needs building upon too. But it's got good tech and good support from Bohemia behind it, and we'd be surprised if this didn't do as well as the realities of this niche allow it to do.

A good strategic game that not excel in any field, Iron Front 1944's primary task seems to be to fill our time until Arma 3 arrives.

Iron Front isn't about winning or seeing who is better, it's about trying to recreate the WWII experience and it does a pretty decent job of accomplishing this. Despite being rather clunky and buggy, I have to recommend the game.

Iron Front – Liberation 1944 will be a new, evolving paint canvas for the multiplayer Arma-crowd. For other gamers it is mostly a confusing mess. [June 2012]

Quotation forthcoming.

A decent game which fans of tactic shooters will like, and although it has much to improve, it has quite an attractive price.

Liberation 1944 is a game with great potential but with a lot of technical problems.

A gritty Eastern Front soldier sim rushed to the front far too soon. Wait for patches if you're squeamish.

If you feel like taking an editor and playing with tanks and soldiers afterwards, then Iron Front: Liberation 1944 is going to make you happy. Otherwise it's just the ArmA 2 game thrown into the Second World War setting. However, the game's well-made and detailed models of guns and machinery are used in a single-player campaign that's been clumsily put together. No one even bothers to play its multiplayer that's been running out of juice.
