Steel Division: Normandy 44

One of the best WW2 rts game ever made.Its easier to play then SD2 , and the U.I looks much better.Skirmish vs A.I is so good to play.

Overall its a decent game, very interesting concept building on Wargame, but unfortunately it is dead now, and the singleplayer feels a bit like slamming your head against a wall.

There is a big learning curve, even if you are into RTS games already, but it is a fun curve to climb.

Its a fun game. A session takes approximately 30 to 40 minutes, keeps your mind occupied and off work and stress. Great way to unwind and relax, its just like playing with toys, you don't even have to make the explosion sounds with your mouth. I enjoy trying out different strategies and it allows you to learn from your mistakes. I only play single player games. There are 3 campaigns. I think the American one is easiest, not sure whether the British and the German ones are about the same difficulty level. But they each have their own unique strengths and weaknesses. I found the Americans are strong all around, personally I find the American air power to be the best, they way they enter the screen and deploy their weapon, full of action, so fund to watch them dog fight. The Germans are highly mechanised, infantry deploy in armoured trucks which stick around and provide fire support. The British have powerful artillery. The only thing I would improve about the game is more missions. Each factions could have been at least 10 missions. And no USSR. I think the second one is mostly based on the eastern front, but that's technically a different game. Overall, this is exactly the kind of game I was looking for.

I never got my DLC -Back to Hell even though I paid for it. Another player sent me the units after but DLC never got delivered.

Really enjoy this game, lots of fun units and compelling strategy. Just wish there were more map types for example control over bridges or hills. Beats Steel Divison 2 for me which is too huge to be able to enjoy properly.
