Reception

Headquarters: World War II received positive reviews on Metacritic. Digitally Downloaded said it is accessible and lives up to its fast-paced description, though the pacing comes at the price of background detail. They felt that although Headquarters: World War II is a good introduction to Slitherine Software's catalog of computer wargames, they would have preferred more background detail to dispel myths about the war. Multiplayer.it compared it to the modern XCOM games but said it is more targeted toward fans of computer wargames. The Games Machine recommended it to fans of XCOM who are looking a World War II theme.
