About Steel Division: Normandy 44

About this game

Steel Division: Normandy 44 is a Tactical Real-Time Strategy (RTS) game, developed by Eugen Systems, the creators of titles like Wargame and R.U.S.E. This new game puts players in command of detailed, historically accurate tanks, troops, and vehicles at the height of World War II. Players can measure their tactical skills against several opponents in big multiplayer battles or against enemies in a challenging single-player campaign. Steel Division: Normandy 44 allows players to take control over legendary military divisions from six different countries, such as the American 101st Airborne, the German armored 21st Panzer or the 3rd Canadian Division, during the invasion of Normandy in 1944.

Main Features:

Command Over 400 Historically Accurate Units:

Whether fighting for control in intense multiplayer battles with up to 10-vs-10 players going head-to-head, playing alone or working with friends in ranked matches, players will need to coordinate their selection of historically accurate infantry, tanks, aircraft, and support vehicles to counter enemy units in this Tactical RTS game.

Real-world Tactics:

Battles rage over three distinct phases, where different units unlock over time, mimicking the movements of real-world armies and adding variety to the ever-changing theatre of war. A dynamic front line illustrates the ebb and flow of the conflict. Pin down your opponent's infantry to gain the advantage and force a retreat, or push through with a perfectly executed plan.

Real-world Setting:

Using the latest version of Eugen’s IRISZOOM engine, players can smoothly zoom from a tactical aerial view all the way down to a single unit, and see 400 different real-world vehicles and units designed with careful historical detail and accuracy. Maps are designed based on actual aerial reconnaissance photos of Normandy in 1944, requiring real-world tactics and strategies to cover and control.

Outplan, Outsmart, Outgun:

From battlegroup customization to troop positioning and maneuvering, winning battles requires cunning and strategy, not just raw firepower. Each unit lost presents a growing tactical disadvantage, and players will need to fight to gain -- and keep -- the upper hand.

From commanding historically accurate infantry, tanks, and vehicles, to troop positioning and real-time engagement with the enemy, players will need to be clever and resourceful in order to win. Every unit counts as the battle presses on, and raw firepower alone will not be enough to claim victory. Whether viewing the entire battle from an aerial perspective, or following a single tank into a firefight, players will need to cleverly manage the dynamic front line in order to execute ambushes and advances.

"Steel Division: Normandy 44" consists of real-time, strategic warfare based around the Invasion of Normandy on June 6th, 1944 by Allied troops. ! Gameplay ! "Steel Division: Normandy 44" is a daunting game to get the hang of, but once you do, gameplay can be experienced to the most. The game comprises of singleplayer and multiplayer modes. To 'learn-to-play', the simple and short 'Boot Camp' tutorials can help you along. It is advisable to complete the campaigns after the tutorial for further game and strategy practice. "Steel Division: Normandy 44" has many divisions to choose from, each specializing in categories such as "Armored", "Airborne", "Infantry", all being historically accurate. Each division contains the corresponding soldier types and names (and in the corresponding language, which could create some confusion), making each division more distinctive from another. The campaign section has three campaign stories available, each with four missions. There is some variety, but missions are quite similar and not overly enjoyable. You will play through three re-enacted historical battles as either Allies or Axis divisions. You can choose to play with the preset campaign battlegroups or create your own. Extra missions are available as DLC content. The multiplayer community in [i]Steel Division: Normandy 44[/i] is very small, and I recall a max player count of 43. If you don't have any friends to play with, I highly doubt you will be able to play much in terms of multiplayer. The maps available to play on are designed off of real-life aerial reconnaissance photos taken at the time period the game is set in. I thought this was nice, and it just adds to the fact that the developers really wanted to create a historically accurate RTS. You will experience long, exciting battles, where you can either have more territory when the timer ends or completely decimate your foe. You will select a number of unit cards, and your resource income depends on the 'grade' of your deck, determined to be either A, B or C class.
