Critic Reviews
Gaming Professors
By Marcela GrázováAttentat 1942 introduces you to a specific period of our Czechoslovak history in a relatively non-violent way. You will learn basic and, if you are interested, advanced facts about the Second World War and the life of the people at the time, all wrapped up in an investigation of the events surrounding your grandfather's arrest. The gameplay isn't complex and don't expect any outright action here, but it's still a title you definitely shouldn't miss.
RPG Fan
By Luna LeeA great historical narrative for a difficult time period.
Critical Hit
By Matthew FickWhile it fails at being a game, Attentat 1942 succeeds at being an experience. It sacrifices all aspects of player choice and interactivity at the expense of delivering a compelling and interesting story. It can be praised for exploring an aspect and setting of a famous conflict that most games wouldn't touch on.
GameGrin
By Sean CareyAttentat 1942 is a full-motion video game that hits you hard with a harrowing story and dozens of facts from the era. Although, the mini games are slightly lacking, they do create some tension for an overall exciting and interesting experience. A must play if you have an interest in history, and want to learn more about the German occupation of Czechoslovakia.
IGN Spain
By Jose A. RodríguezAn interesting documental-videogame in which we are going to learn a little bit more about the Czech Republic during the WWII Nazi Occupation. But forget about "playing" it.
