The single-player mode gives players the opportunity to experience the now-infamous Omaha Beach landing, with archived footage and detailed descriptions of the units involved lending a sense of realism to the proceedings. The multi-player mode offers a different map, specifically engineered to thrill up to four players at once.
D-Day is a stunning Real Time Strategy title from the creators of Desert Rats vs Afrika Korps. Featuring an improved version of the Walker 2 graphics engine, D-Day uses a variety of stunning graphical effects to portray total historical accuracy in a dynamic, fun environment. The weapons, units and missions briefings are all true to the world during that period, but without any sacrifices made to the balanced gameplay.
Testimonies from D-Day veterans and previously archived video footage enhance the sense of realism, as do the detailed descriptions of each vehicle's history that are included in the game.
Boasting more than 60 distinctly different units, both the single player campaign and extensive multiplayer mode offer a wide range of gaming experiences, ensuring both longevity and scope for individual playing styles.
"Fans were crying out for more, after the highly successful Desert Rats vs. Afrika Korps game. D-Day will provide fans and newcomers alike with a satisfying gaming experience, this time backed up by the welcome involvement of the Normandie Memoire association, ensuring a historically accurate battle," says Leo Zullo, marketing director, Digital Jesters. "Every effort has been made to create an enjoyable game that does justice to the bravery of the soldiers involved in one of the most famous battles in the history of mankind"
Digital Jesters will release D-Day in the UK on the 20th of August 2004, with a suggested retail price of £29.99.
